ibiza Rhapsody H1A030BK 30 GB Wi-Fi/MP3 Player by Haier (Black)

This player blows me away. It does everything and does it well. Sure you can get players with more storage capacity for less money but storage capacity isn't everything. People keep comparing this thing to the iPod but if you're going to make a comparisson it's closer to the touch, does more and has more space for less. So there you have it. The Rhapsody integration is where this thing really excels. I buy music but I also subscribe to Rhapsody so I can sample as much as I like whenever I like. With this I'm just cruising through releases on my couch downloading whatever I like for a flat $15 a month fee, if I don't like it, it's no big loss. I really can't rave about this product enough. There's alot I'd like to see happen with this type of device but for now I'm content that it does what it is supposed to so well and wouldn't sacrifice that kind of stability for rushed features. I think anyone with an open mind would love this player immediately on having it.

After successfully downloading about 500 tracks, I had major troubles downloading to the "device". The error msgs were "CAN'T LOCATE DEVICE CERTIFICATE" and "TRACK IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DEVICE". After 3 hrs of futile tech support fom India, I finally was transferred to an American tech supervisor. As he directed me through a troubleshooting routine, I noticed a message about the track we were reviewing. The msg indicated if I did not sign for a monthly contract all of my downloaded tracks would become unplayable. Needless to say I am using my device to play my own CDs. As a portable CD player it works just fine.

Luv this player sounds great good pics quality battery life little shorter than expected but still good

This is a great product if (a) you want wireless capabilities with your MP3 player (I don't-but that is another story)and you want (as I do) a player that will work with the Rhapsody subscription service. Ipods are wonderful, but you still have to shell out a buck for every song you want to download. Rhapsody has a flat rate, so you can download music that you might not take a chance on with Itunes. The player works well with Rhapsody and I hope to get it up to the 5,000 song level I had with my old Dell DJ.

I have a 30 gb. Ipod, but I hate using Itunes, so I decided to give the Ibiza a try. I tell you what: Ipod might be the beauty in the family, but Ibiza is the one with the moves! It is a little clunky to carry, but that's because it's so feature-packed. I haven't quite figured out the wifi, but my whole Rhapsody library transferred without a problem, and rhapsody channels ,too, which allow you to add tracks that you like while they're playing, or gives you more of the same artist if you like, and it has FM, and it's easy to load in my photos, with a nice screen for viewing. It's also compatible with the cord I used in my Toyota to play my Ipod....Anybody want to buy a slightly used Ipod 'cuz I'm moving on to better things!
