No other MP3 can measure up
I was hoping to find an MP3 player with the same ease of use as my old ipod which has lasted me over 10 years. ( It still works but the battery only lasts about 3-4 hours ) which is still pretty good. However, I just could not figure out the new guy. And there were no how to videos on YouTube, only videos discussing the features. It was only $50 and I liked a lot things about it, but just couldnt figure it out. So I broke down to shell the $300 for this bad boy and could not be happier. If you are shy with technology, then this is awesome. Afterall, if it lasts another 10 years, thats only $30 a year. I can live with that. I do have one caveat. If you are trying to merge this with your old macbook, it may not work. It did not recognize my 2011 macbook. Luckily it did recognize my newer PC. ( which I did not know that you could now do that. So awesome) Because most of my recordings are self made or burned from CDs, I did have to transfer my iTunes library to the PC via a usb stick. So there was a little bit of a learning curve on getting the iPod set up.but I could not be happier with the investment. I understand Apple getting rid of the product but I hope they reconsider. Maybe by the next 10 years, someone else will have figured out how to make a user friendly MP3L
