    Nice way to have a large library without counting on cloud based services, but still have access to cloud based services. It's not perfect or for everyone, but works well for me.

    Bad battery life

    The bad battery life reviews are accurate: got this yesterday, charged it to 100%, and haven't used it at all - no songs added or played,...and the battery life is down to 88% on standby. Returning ASAP.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
