any company that will extend your warranty 6 months if you write a good review gives away its product and writes its own good reviews via mystery shoppers.

After all the positive reviews, I decided this would be a good alternative to a new Ipod

That's a poor reason for there to be so many good reviews, yet the product itself works about as well (and cheaply made to boot) as the other reviews say.

I've had other devices that even after months of use I still couldn't maneuver around the controls as easily as I would like, but with this, the controls are very easy to use, the functions simple to learn, both of which add to my overall positive review

I was very disappointed in the player after reading such good reviews

It malfunctioned from the first use just as others described in their negative reviews

I don't usually give bad reviews but

I have to agree with the other positive reviews

I use it for audio books and like other reviews go to their site and read the manual for the A02 on how to stop and restart where you left off.

Don't look at the positive reviews!

I bought this primarily because our multiple iPods cannot play FLAC files, and the reviews were good.

I read some good reviews and wanted to give this little guy a chance

After carefully reviewing several MP3 players, I decided to go with this one based on the number of near-excellent reviews

I purchased this MP3 player based upon positive reviews both on Amazon but also the web.

It stated something close to "If you give this product good review, we extend your warranty one year"
