"Love It!" I listen to music, audio books and use the radio for the most part. I had some issues putting pictures on it - mostly that everything had to be converted to .bmp file type. I am on my second one - completely my fault - they don't care to go swimming though it seemed to recover from that - and being exposed to strong magnets - literally stuck to the case - was the final death knell for the first one. As you can tell, I'm kind of hard on my MP3 players. I have owned a few others - I refuse to purchase an i-pod - and this is by far the best one yet, the most features and the price is great. I laugh at the i-pod people who have thier status symbols - I have a better product - and I can replace it much easier next time I drop in the bath... Updateing the devise is easy, adding memory is a great plus, and not having to go through i-tunes for EVERYTHING is the best.
"This product plays Ogg Vorbis and FLAC." "Wouldn't leave without my Sandisk" "works with Linux, highly recommended" I only use it for radio and mp3 audio files: music, podcasts, audio books. It works great for all of them.
The radio is excellent at picking up the stations my portable boom box doesn't and remembers the stations.
I use Rhythmbox 0.11.6 with Linux Debian O/S. I haven't figured out how to produce a playlist but I know it is possible using other software.
The 6 plus hour battery life I get is good for my uses.
My only complaint: The information display is not used well, the name of the file scrolls across the screen too slowly for the length of information usually included in my audiobook files. Sometimes the chapter information is 20 characters in, waiting is torture! I had hoped that switching from a Clip (much smaller screen) would solve this issue but they seem to use the same software and just add a pretty picture of the book cover.
"Very happy with the Fuze" I use massive playlists and my only MINOR complaint is when I switch to the radio setting, it doesn't save what song I was up to in my playlist. This may happen on all other players also, who knows.
