Carry-a-Tune MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great product. My two-year old loves music but destroyed two CD-players by constantly pressing the buttons and opening and closing the units; I was searching for a durable MP3 player without lots of buttons and "Carry A Tune" is exactly what I was looking for. It is easy to hold, durable (has been dropped and even thrown down a flight of stairs and still worked) and allows you to download your own MP3s or children's music CDs onto it. The buttons are simple but still a little bit beyond my son's understanding. An excellent feature is the auto-off feature which saves batteries. Battery life is pretty good.
We discovered recently, however, that the unit is not waterproof when it was dropped into the bathtub by my son. Of course, it is not supposed to be waterproof. We love this so much I am going to buy another one.

BeBop Sing-Along CD Karaoke Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for my son's birthday and he is having so much fun with it. I don't know what the negative review is about. The microphones work great on the player we received. There is an on/off switch for each microphone and a volume control separate from the music volume control. It's easy to use and durable (and my son is not that easy on his toys). There's a mail-in coupon for a free 2-CD set which is a remarkable bargain. The price, free 2-CD set, and twin microphones all helped me decide that this was the right CD player for us. I'm giving it 5 stars and a high recommendation.

LEGO 2GB MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is just as cute as it looks. It is a lot smaller than I was expecting (2 5/8in long, 5/8in deep), and it has the capability to stack LEGOs on top and underneath it, which is neat and nostalgic. I like fidgeting with the LEGOs while I listen to it on longer subway rides. The package even comes with 2 matching LEGOs to get you started, and a pair of cheap little white earbuds (which are just about as good as you would expect, no better or worse).
Now, let's get down to what the player can do. It has a very tiny little LCD screen, and a small nubbie type control button that you push to move around the menus with. It is intuitive to use but comes with easy instructions as well. It might be hard to use if you have really large clumsy fingers or have a tough time seeing small font. There are 3 menus, the music menu, the pictures, and the options. Music is sorted in terms of albums and artists, and is simple to navigate. As the music plays, it displays the album title and track title, along with cover art (if you put that on the player as well). As far as music goes, it plays music fine. It does add a delay to the beginning of songs, and it has a "fadeout" time when you pause a song. It plays about 1-2seconds longer than you would like and fades a bit. It doesn't bother me much though. What has begun to bother me is the fact that you can't look around the other menus and play a song. Any time you stray from the song playing menu, the song stops. Therefore, you can't line up the next song while the current one is playing.
In the photo menu, I can't figure out how to do anything but display the pictures. You can't set any of them as wallpaper or anything, all you can do is view them, and the screen is way too small and pixelated for it to be a useful feature. It seems like a slightly useless menu option. In the options menu, you can alter the brightness, the backlight, mess with the equalizer, change the language, and set a sleep timer. I was surprised because it doesn't have any sort of clock built into it. I liked being able to check the time on my old MP3 player. It doesn't have any program that you need to install for it, you just plug it in to the computer and load your music on. No need for any outside program or anything. It has an optional LEGO skin for your windows media player, but it is just an optional perk.
As far as battery life goes, I have not had it long but it seems to be playing strong. The package boasts 7-8hrs, and I will edit the review if I find any discrepancies. If what you are looking for is an attractive pocket-size little MP3 player, this should fit the bill.
Advantages:
Nostalgic and cute.
Stackable with LEGO bricks.
Small and portable.
No installation needed.
Simple to use with good instruction manual.
Disadvantages
Only 2gb
LCD screen is tiny and harder to see than most screens
Songs "fade" when you pause and restart songs
Can't look through menus while songs are playing.

Disney Jam Stand Speaker - Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item (not from Amazon) for my daughter to go with her Disney mix stick. It worked for literally 2 minutes and then the speakers cut out, never to work again. Thinking I'd gotten a bad one, I exchanged it, only to have the same thing happen again. Still determined to make good on my daughter's Christmas present, we bought a 3rd one, which also worked for about 2 minutes. The Mix Stick mp3 player worked fine with a Creative speaker system, so it was definitely the Jam Stand that had the problem. Obviously, there is a design flaw and I wonder if any of the Jam Stands that have been manufactured actually work.
