Nice display. Easy to navigate. A lot of pre-set equalizer options. You can compress your music files down to a smaller size through Windows…it saves on gig space…like you would need more gigs

You have to transfer all the files through Windows Media Player to be able to get the music you want into the MP3 player. Setting up playlists are a little hard to get used to and annoying at times

The battery life is extremely long, price, the screen shows the album art, the tuner that comes with the headphones, hard drive is too huge to fill, just about everything

The headphones that come with the product are awkward but that definitely isn't a big deal

It was cheaper than the rest

The touchscreen randomizes user input. The gigabeat encripts your mp3s into a format unusable by everything else so that you can't share music. Who wants an MP3 player that can't play MP3's

got this for my son's birthday....he lvoes it !! Very nice pictures. Very nice playback. Great capacity for the money ; Updated firmware and Software much improve the experience. Very glad didn't waste money on ipud

Would be nice if Toshiba didn't encrypt music being loaded onto the player, but I understand DRM and all. Initial software was not so good, new version mucho better

Best 40GB MP3 player you can buy at this price. Excellent screen, excellent size, and with the firmware upgrade, excellent sound quality. The dock features a switch which allows it to operate as a standard USB dock or to set it as a charge/play dock...

The Plus Touch controller is not nearly as easy to use as iPod's click wheel. Sliding along the Plus is rarely used. It is essentially a grouping of 5 touch sensitive pads in a cross layout. The only other complaint I have with the Gigabeat is that...

Good grafix. Looks good, from a distance

Dents easily. Encrypts songs. Terriable interface. Terriable software. Dock is USB 1.1 (whats the point?) If you want the software to work (barely) you have to disable your anti-virus. Bad supportline

Graphic on the screen are cool. Docking cradle is a definite plus for a fixed location

Software is terrible, like the other reviews states - it locks up in XP, logic for placing files is poor. I use this in a commercial application - under heavy use the player will lock up

Great sound. Lots of storage. Very solid build. Can copy files back and forth with Windows Explorer VERY quickly ; Handles photo's with slideshow viewing

Absolutely Horrible software. Install it so it places all the proper drivers, then use Windows Explorer for direct file copying from you computer ; Poorly written manual ; Poor picture handling

The hardware is nice, sound is good. For the price, this seemed like the best device for the capacity offered, and features ; It has a nice fearture that you can use the device to back up digital camera pics if you are on the road and need to clear you...

The software is just terrible ; Gigabeat Room" constantly hangs, and even killing the process does not allow you to restart it. I must reboot every time it hangs, which is quite often. I have a very large library I'm trying to populate the player with,...

lot's of room, very lightweight. love the extras including the sound quality of the headphones. easy to use and transfer music. can't forget to mention the super quick shipping . . . true experts of online shopping
