   #1 complaint is when running the drive can and will lock up, #2 after a playlist is done you have to stop and start a new one, #3 there is no substitute for live radio, #4 or is this #2? The headphones are ridiculously uncofortable, #5 battery life is not as advertised, #6 what a pain to load songs, #7 the software automatically sets skips on live albums (U2 Under a Blood Red Sky becomes broken up), #8 the case scratches easily. I have sent mine back to the company because of the above reasons and I hope this will open peoples eyes to how much of a waste of money this device is. Stick with a $15 fm/am and use the extra cash on something better.

   Don’t think the hype is worth the extra cost above the normal white ones.

   Yeah it comes with the songs and all but most U2 fans will either already have them or will steal them off of the internet anyway.

   IPODs are IMHO overrated and over-hyped. My sister just got the U2 SE IPOD for her birthday and initially I was insanely jealous. I’ve been mewling over getting a portable MP3 player for sometime and haven’t pulled the trigger. Everything I read about the IPOD says it’s the best thing in the world and all other digital music players are just IPOD wannabes. My sister came over on Thanksgiving with her new shiny IPOD and handed it over to me to play with. I spent the next couple of hours giving it a work through. The first thing that popped into my mind was “Why is this so great?”. While the UI is rather intuitive it lacked one feature in particular I want. How do I get the song meta info on the IPOD??? Well out of the box you can’t, you can always use iTunes to look at the meta data about the song (Year release, bit rate, etc.), but that’s not the point. I think a $300 device should provide this information, many other digital players can do this, why can’t the holy grail of digital players do this?????. Next I was shock by the lack of volume this device produces, when I turn it all the way up I expect my ears to hurt, not the case with the IPOD. In a nutshell I’m not convinced that the IPOD is the right digital music player for me. Dumbed down UI missing competitor features, low volume, doesn’t work as USB HD (can’t copy my songs around easily without stupid iTunes), no WMA support (yes, you can convert them, but what’s the point).

   This is a good music player and looks pretty nice.It is overadvertised and everyone has one so its not even unique. There are many better players at comparable prices with 20GB or greater harddrive.There are many accesseries you have to buy for it which you’d get free with other mp3 players(SONY Walkman digital music player and my favorite the RCA jukebox and video player)
   
   It holds less songs than Sony’s(Sony-13,000,Apple-5,000)
   
   You can’t watch movies in color on a 3.5inch flatscreen(you can on RCA’s)
   
   Accesaries not included
   
   Case-$20-$45(included with Sony’s and RCA’s)
   
   USB cable-$30(included with Sony’s and RCA’s)
   
   No free songs(30 free with Sony’s Walkman digital music player)
   
   Dock $40(included with Sony’s and RCA’s)
