This was my first mp3 player I bought about a year ago. I expected nothing particularly special from it; all I wanted was to hear my music and transport other small files with me without the bother of CDs or obselete floppys. At first, everything was fine and dandy, but...

Within two or three weeks it started forgetting my files. I'd be on the bus or at school or anywhere at all, and I would turn it on to see the message "No Files". I knew I had put files onto it, and I hadn't dropped it or kept it anywhere that was outrageously hot or cold. The first time I figured it was probably just a fluke and maybe I had pressed Erase by accident, but then it happened again and again and again and again... it is not reliable at all. I attribute that problem to a possible short in the system.

It also devours batteries if you use it more than once a month. It only lasts a few days with me, and I only listen in the morning and evening for a total of an hour or two a day. Within two or three days the battery is all worn out. My video games last longer than that.

In the end, I think I'm just going to start burning CDs again. The PoGo! AudioRave can only be counted on completely if you never turned it on at all. If I wanted that, I'd have bought a USB stick.

I bought this for my Mother for her birthday because she is really into walking and I thought it would be a nice gift. We have only had it about a week, but the sound is really clear and I am really happy with the purchace so far. Also it is very small, maybe 4 inches long which is pretty convienient. My mother isnt very savvy in technology, and it has one button to turn it on and off and is very easy to use for her. I Hope this helps!

This is my third MP3 player and it's by far the easiest to load. Didn't even need the install disk. Just plugged it into the USB port on my win2000 laptop and it showed up as a hard drive (E: drive on my system). Then I just dragged songs to it from Windows Explorer. It's loud, light and the battery lasts well.

My only complaint is the lack of belt clip. There's a cheesy strap that you can use to hang it around your neck, but that is not practical when running or working out. A simple belt clip would make this the perfect player.

Last February I bought a PoGo AudioRave because I found very convenient the idea of having an MP3 player and a USB Flash Memory in such a small package.

For two months I was very happy with it because the sound quality was very good, the unit was light and easy to operate and the process of downloading music was very simple (..just drag and drop the files from any computer since the unit shows itself as an external USB storage..).

All my happiness is over. Two weeks ago the volume control stopped working and I ended up with an MP3 Player where I can not hear anything since the volume level was very low when the problem happened.

The bottom line is that today I only have a fancy USB Flash Memory that works quite well. That's half the product I originally bought and that's the reason I give it 2 stars.

I won this little MP3 player in a prize drawing held on my campus, and I must say it's pretty cool. Its size is impressive (much smaller than I had thought) and it has a decent amount of storage space (128mb). The sound quality is really good, and downloading files couldn't be any easier. I especially like the idea that I can plug the unit directly into the USB drive of a computer, rather than having to carry a cord around with me every time I want to download a file. Additionally, you can download data files onto the player as well, which I really think is cool. I'm a college student, and I find myself always needing to save a paper or some type of assignment on disk, but never seem to have a disk. Now, I can save it directly onto the MP3 player, and it works just the same. In fact, if the memory is clear you can save about 3 floppy disks worth of stuff on the player. The one thing I can't say is how reliable it is, because I've only had it for a little while, but it seems to be a really good acquisition.
