Review on Toshiba Gigabeat MEG-F40S Digital Audio Player - 40GB (Silver): Enhanced SEO-friendly Version by Tsar Smithlin

Firstly this is my first MP3 player so I have no comparison. I'm delighted that there is so much music available in this tiny car, it's one of my favorite toys and well worth the investment. If you don't have one but love music, get it. PRO: Navigation is a bit annoying, but I hear it mostly is. There are at least categories like "Album" and "Artist". I've heard it's better than the iPod for that. Plenty of room for music, I've barely scratched the surface by downloading over 200 albums. The screen is good, but I haven't figured out how to display images, so it's not used much at the moment. CONS: Headset is annoying. I'm on my third replacement and finally got my hands on the one with the navigation tool. While comfortable, connectivity is terrible after almost a year of use. The supplied software is annoying. I use Windows Media Player, which you can download for free. Just look for the "Copy to Library" option, then download it straight to the player, which reads like a portable disc drive. You can connect via the USB port. You need a docking station to download music from your PC, but not to charge it or use an outlet for power. When the battery selector (bottom of the player) is disabled, this annoying message pops up to let you know it's not enabled, so the battery can't be charged. This blocks most of your screen and makes it difficult for you to navigate. I try not to use batteries in my electronics to conserve them. ADVICE. There's a one-year warranty, so contact them before it expires so they can replace and repair parts if necessary.
