I chose this MP3player because my cellphone broke in the car when it fell from the cellphone holder.
I give this player two stars because even after using the equalizer on it to turn up the output (by genre) then turn up the radio all the way (Suzuki WagonR- no external preamplifying) I can still hear tire noise in the car.
The included USB wire is actually too long. When I used a shorter one my PC finally recognised it.
It does the job, though, but when I know there must be something out there that can play louder, I'll just get the best when I can and give up on this item.
