I doubt you'll regret it. If it keeps working like so, I bet won't regret it. The fear is that being crappy and generic, it'll fall apart stop working, go through batteries like t.p., and/or be destroyed by a sneeze.
Mine's 2GB, weighs an ounce, and runs for about 15 hours on one AAA; paid I think $120 for it, which isn't bad. Sounds pretty sweet. Not a bad price depending upon when you bought it, as well as how much use you've gotten out of it. What brand is it out of curiosity? Anything I'd know?
I remember the stuff they were selling pre-iPod, it was like "Yeah! you can have 3 minutes of digital music for only 200 dollars!!!" I was thinking "I can burn CD's, so what's the point?", and now of course ... Pretty cool, business, eh? Go technology! Go capitalism!
It's my favorite toy by a wide margin. Comes in handy on long trips! I think I'm beginning to see what you mean. I haven't road tested it yet, but I have a cassette adapter which will hopeful work with this. I don't know about music... but I know I've got hours hours of talk on it now (as previously mentioned, primarily why I bought it) with room to spare. I've tried some music and there's nothing wrong with the sound on it (which I didn't expect there to be, but see cheap/generic), so we'll see on that point.
I'm just excited about the talk stuff, but I also look forward to the day I can convert x many shelves and cases of CDs to fit in the palm of my hand ( of course I realize this is likely already possible technologically, but I was meaning more for me personally).

awes... or more aptly 'Craptastic!' Hopefully mine will hold up and be as pleasing as yours seems to have been.
(With the exception of a freak accident, which may've blown out a usb port), so far so great. I think I got a real bargain. (save for the nixed port), I feel like I may have already gotten my money's worth.
It is wild that the headphones I have weigh more/are more bulky to deal with than the actual player. I can fit mine in the fifth pocket of my Levis, and save for the head phone cord, hardly notice it's there.

From the look of it, they made two players and then left the market. Looks similar to mine in some ways.
