Worst mp3 player EVER!!! The one I bought first would not connect to my computer. The replacement sent by the manufacturer also will not connect, and when I try to change the settings the screen freezes. Waiting for a reply yet again from the manufacturer to see what can be done.

Buy Polaroid 4gb Mp3 Player .Pink/Gray/Blue Colors. Now

I bought this player in a different color (but same model) about two hours ago at BigLots! and I already hate it. The PMP120-4 is a great example on how former big brands are used to sell electronics which are made straight for the landfill.

Even though this device is a piece of junk, there is one thing which surprised me positively: I was able to manage the music using my Linux Netbook. Ubuntu recognized the player instantly and I was able to Upload and play my mp3 files using Banshee. Great! But that's about it.

The aluminum looks nice and appears to be solid. However, the clip and the screen do not.

Peeling off the screen sticker reveals a not centered LCD screen, which makes the player look even cheaper than it is. The screen does not have brilliant colors either: Everything looks washed out. But you can live with that if you are not picky and use the player only to play your music.

The biggest problem with this device is the confusing navigation and the unresponsive touch screen.

This the fourth MP3 player I bought so far, but it is the first one, where you need the handbook to figure out how to change the volume! Even though the player has four buttons on the top, none of these are to control the volume instantly. You have to swipe down on the screen to access the another screen to access volume control. There you can use the buttons on the device as well as two graphic buttons on the screen. Ridiculous! And even worse, the screen does not respond instantly or in the wrong way. Getting out of the volume screen is a guessing game, like the rest of the navigation.

I also did not find a way to fast forward or rewind. May be it is in the handbook, but who cares? I will return the device anyways. I expect from a music player, that I have buttons to control the volume directly.

By the way, I tried out the voice recorder, also. I got my voice recorded with it. I do not know how I did it, without any visual clues on the screen. I guess I was just lucky.

Pros:

+ Works very well under Ubuntu with Banshee

Cons:

Navigation is not intuitive. It not user friendly at all.

Touch screen does not always respond

Flimsy screen (it appears to break any second)

Bad headphones

Fit and finish

Built in battery

Does sometimes not turn on

My advise: DO NOT BUY IT!

I received this mp3 player as a gift. First off, it was late, even tho my husband paid for expedited shipping. When it finally did arrive, I found that I could not even load music on it. My pc/laptop does not even recognize the device...so it apparently doesn't exist. I tried going to the Polaroid website to get a driver and they don't even have this device as a product for sale, it must not exist @ Polaroid either! I'm severely disappointed in this piece of crap and waste of time and money!! Don't bother, there's other players out there much better...I'm going to continue to use my trusty ol' Sandisk!

This is not a _great_ product, but is almost exactly what I expect when I buy a music player (with ear bud headphones) for about the same price as high quality headphones nearby. It plays music nicely, has several equalizer settings to choose from. Controls are non-intuitive, but once you figure them out they do work. I don't have any complaints about the screen appearance or responsiveness. I haven't tried video yet. I purchased one initially and have now purchased a second for my children (aged 8 and 5) and they like to use them while we're on car rides. If you just want an inexpensive music player, this is a pretty good deal. No complaints from either of them (yet! :). But don't expect it to act like an ipad.

Okay, we've now added video (snagged from YouTube). There are some steps involved, first converting the video from YouTube's flv files with (free) YTD Video Downloader to AVI format, and then converting from AVI to the AMV format understood by the player. But then it works and looks pretty good to us on that tiny 1.8 " screen.

And I even tried the recorder. Not hard for me to use. Touch the screen to start, touch again to stop, works fine. Sound quality is pretty good actually.

One odd ball thing, the easiest way to get from one mode to another (from music to video to record to play, etc.) is just to quickly turn it on and off with the slider switch. Not elegant, but it's quick and works fine.

I agree with the people with the bad reviews...but since the only thing I need to use it for is to listen to music so I have kind of no problem with it...

I did have a little problem with the volume for a while I had to read the manual to figure it out! I was frustrated for quite a while... Seriously!!! I was just mad. but now im just listening to my music. i dont need to watch anyhting in it so ok, w.e.
