EDIT: I have, since this original review was published, purchased another of these for my wife and was greatly disappointed. Not the same software as in the unit I reviewed, and in fact, there is a media management program on the drive that is a real P.O.S and difficult to get around. In addition, it lasted exactly one month and a day before it lost its programming, and Centon does not provide any sort of support for these things, so no firmware updates or even backup versions of the software are available.

The unit I reviewed was purchased through Comp USA, and the players now available are through another company, so I'm forced to conclude there were different versions sold through different companies. If you can get the Comp USA version, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, the COBY MP315-4G Coby Micro MP3 Player MP315-4GBLK (Black), while only a 4Gb player, not only uses the software I reviewed here, but is so much better made and so much more reliable that the smaller memory size really doesn't matter. ANY of the COBY 300-series battery powered MP3 players easily outstrip this CENTON, hands down.

Buy Centon Movex MP3 8GB - Black (8GBMP3-001) Now

I've used a lot of MP3 players over the past few years and this one is a piece of junk. The controls are poorly designed and it kept freezing so that it couldn't even be turned off without removing the battery. I'm going back to a Coby player they're better than any by Creative Zen or Sansa.

Because I like the form factor of a built-in USB connection, I purchased one of these and one of the jWIN audio players at the same time, to see if either was a good product. They both appear to have the same user interface/menu, and might be produced by the same companyhowever, I'm not certain of this. I am a seasoned user of audio players, and have been successful with a variety of products (Creative, Apple, Samsung, etc). Unfortunately, the menu/user interface and navigation capabilities of this product are virtually impossible to use, making it worthless as a music player.

Want Centon Movex MP3 8GB - Black (8GBMP3-001) Discount?

I was looking for a low small and low cost musinc player for running. Because of the abuse I give these devices, I didn't want to spend much, as any of the previous music players I have used only gave me about a year of service. Sweat, rain and regular impacts with hard objects take their toll. This one was as good as any I have owned before, was fairly easy to drive and is still working years later. At 8GB it will hold about 1500 songs, good enough for many miles of happy cruising.
