All in all, other players are cheaper and have features lacking here like FM reception.

And a simple "stereo miniplug to RCA plugs" adapter from Radio Shack will let you enjoy the continuous play and shuffle features on your home stereo.

I loved the price and features and a very easy to use navigation system.

To sum it up, yes this is a slick device, lots of hard-drive space (40GB can turn out to be a good source of back-up for your computer's hard drive!!!!!!!!), has some good features where you can store your contacts (the good thing about storing contacts is you can create a .vcf file using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express or any other software application that can create .vcf files and download it to the iPod) and also features a calendar which I believe comes in handy for those people who like to use it as a substitute for a digital assistant

Within 6 months it acted up, making me do the ridiculous R method of resetting it over and again.

I have no warrenty now, so i'm stuck trying to restore, restart, and all those other crappy "R" fixes that they have that don't work
