Summary: A GREAT IDEA : NEED IMPROVING
Review: A great idea in developing what most serious gym rats long for: wirefree gadetry on the move and mp3 technology at our finger tips: plus being the first one in my gym with this new gadetry...major bonus point.

need improving: headsets cannot withstand sweat, which happens during a hard workout...buring out one side or fading sound.
Another problem encountered was a reduction of my allowed 64mb memory to 60.5mb...even after deleting old file...
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PURCHASING UNTIL IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE.....

Summary: Great Sound, User Friendly and Affordable
Review: After several hours of reviewing many types of players I decided on this one and I have not been dissapointed. I was looking for a player with at least 1 hour play time so I decided on a minimum 64MB. After my first download (about 15 seconds per song) I had 30 songs with around 2.5 hrs of music without the additional memory card! I bought it for snowboarding and mountian biking so fancy controls and LCD was not a priority. The software is great wants you spend and hour or so getting use to how it operates. Headphones are nice but I'll buy new ones that will allow me to wear a helmet. The face plate design with its controls is easy to operate without looking at it. The arm band works great and I can't imagine not having this option!! Overall a great player and great choice!!

Summary: IT IS THE WORST MP3 PLAYER IN THE WORLD
Review: ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IT BROKE IN A MONTH
NOT MY FAULT AT ALL

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: junk
Review: Find something else -- software is not intuitive and requires a lot of manipulation to organize music. Hardware is just as bad -- mine lasted three months before a complete crash.

Summary: Loved it for a year, broke down week after warranty
Review: For the past year I have completely loved having this MP3 player to take to the gym, on my commute, etc. The arm band was great for working out and the remote allowed me to put the player in my coat pocket or purse when commuting. Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems with it:
3 months: The flimsy belt clip broke
5 months: The remote's LCD screen stopped working
1 year: The player could no longer be recognized by my computer nor could it play the music already downloaded. It was determined that the player was no longer functional.
Additionally, sometime in the last couple of months while trying to dowload music to the player I would recieve an application error or the program would simply hang.
The software itself is horrible and customer support is a bit surly.

Summary: Fair
Review: Here is my review after one week. Fortunately I think I found the work arounds. First, find the firmware upgrade on the Sonic Blue site. Version 1.1 shipped with it, and I upgraded to the 1.6 firmware patch. That solves the battery drain and "most" of the remote going blank issues, and also gave me a battery meter on the remote. Speaking of the remote, you can always unplug it, bypass it so that it doesn't drain the battery. Next, the headphones are very portable, look cool, sound quality is fair to poor, and the pressure on my ears is somewhat uncomfortable. The belt clip is a joke. My 64M MMC card does not work with this unit - but my documentation said 32M max on the expansion card. The included software is a joke - but fortunately that other joke, Windows Media Player 8, will work - but when copying to devices, press F5 to refresh the device list drop down. Also, I configured mine to send 64K files to the device, so converting and copying 128K MP3 takes about 5 times longer to set up. I'm using Windows XP, it works, I hear music when I run.

Summary: Mine just died yesterday, here's the story
Review: I bought my PSAPlay 120 when it first came out because it was the only one that looked cool in the gym and had a belt clip and arm strap.

Now my PSAPLAY 120 is about a year and a half old and it's stopped working. At first, only songs I had installed on the MMC card wouldn't play. I put it on my computer and it could still see the songs were there but the player just skipped right over them. Then the thing would work about once out of every 15 times you pushed "play." And when it would play, it might play 10 seconds of the first song and stop. I finally pulled out the 128MMC card and trashed the unit.

To be fair, this seems to be indicative of many MP3 players, not just the PSAPLAY 120.

FYI - Though this unit has an expandable MMC port, the newer NIKE 128Mbs does not.

Here's the good and bad on the PSAPLAY 120
First the bad:
- The belt clip broke in the first week.
- I also dropped it in the first week - not hard and on the gym's carpet - and the case cracked.
- The armband attaches to the player via a tiny little screw. They give you two. Now I know why. One of them broke in the first 4 months.
- There is no "random play."
- The Nike audio software they give you isn't very useful. It has about 1/2 the functionality of more popular titles like Media Player. Unfortunately, using Media Player was alway a hit or miss thing. Sometimes Media Player could find the PSAPLAY and sometimes it couldn't even though I kept up with all firmware and software upgrades.
- The armband is bigger than most, though still too small for serious muscle builders
- Songs that load onto the expandable MMC slot load about 1/2 as fast as the internal memory (this is not a problem with my new RCA MP3).

The good:
- Battery life is excellent if you don't use the remote.
- The buttons are raised and easy to find for hands-free operation during running.
- Several preset equalizer settings that work well.
- Looks good.

Wow! When you write down the good and bad, it's a wonder I ever kept the thing as long as I did. For the money, there are better units out there I believe.

So there it is. It was pretty good while it lasted, but now it's gone...

Summary: It's ok IF it works
Review: I bought this MP3 player for jogging after my Rio 300 (which I had for 3 years) quit working. I was hoping that since this product was Nike it would be somewhat durable and would be suitable for activities such as jogging. Unfortunately that was not the case as it isn't suitable for anything.

The unit is poorly designed and the software is unreliable at best. The belt clip is a joke. It will not stay clipped for more than 5 minutes given that it doesn't really clip (the lower portion of the "clip" actually bends outward rather than inward to grasp your waistband, etc.). The player also has a terrible time identifying expansion memory and the software is unstable.

Sonic Blue replaced my player once, but now it has stopped working again, so I have to decided to look for something else.

Summary: Best Xmas gift ever!!!
Review: I bought this MP3 player for my husband as a Xmas gift 2 years ago. He claims this was the best Xmas gift he had ever recieved. My husband is an avid jogger and loves being able to download songs of his choice and listening to them while exercising. I was surprised to read the negative reviews and learn that so many users found the product to break easily. I can assure you that this MP3 players takes a beating. We are currently stationed in the Middle East where the average temperature is 114 degrees and my crazy husband still joggs in that weather. The device never gave him any problem whatsoever and he takes it with him on his many travels around the world. I highly recommend it and was going to purchase one for my brother-in-law when I started reading the negative reviews and decided to write my own.
