Disney Mix Stick MP3 Player - Tinker Bell 2 Purple

We've had the Cars version of the Mix Stick for over a year now and really love it. We do wish there was a screen, but we know that when you add a screen, you add one more thing for them to break....

My son has been able to do all of this on his own. He's 8 and plugs it in every morning to recharge so he can listen in the evening. (It doesn't need daily recharging, but he's very upset when batteries run out, so he does it daily 'just in case.')

I bought this for my niece's 8th birthday. I was leery of purchasing an electronic device for her because if it screwed up she'd be disappointed and I'd be mad. Having to use the computer to update and add music to it could be annoying but it's turned out to be easy. I thought about getting her an iPod but the fact that you can only use iPod with iTunes. With this MP3 you can buy music from anywhere and load it onto this MP3. I love the fact this player has separate Disney music SD cards you can use and you can buy an SD card to expand the space of your player.

The only con I have is that you have to plug it into the computer to see what music you have on it. Nearly all MP3's have a screen/scroll reader to see what's playing, considering how well this one is doing; I really wish she could see the stats on the songs. Other than that this purchase, which was her choice, was a great buy. It's her first MP3 player and if she takes care of it, it certainly won't be her last.

I purchased this for my daughter Christmas before last with the Jam stand. Not only has she had it for more than a year but all peices are still intact and plays just as well as it did that 2006 Christmas morning.

The jam stand is small but mighty, u can hear the music throughout the house when she uses it. The music stick itself is also awesome. Since my daughter had practically every Kids Pop, Rock, Radio, Rap and Jams CD, it is nice to be able to rip her favorites right to the player.


Also, it's great being able to surprise my baby girl with new Music Clips because she truly loves her pink mix stick player. She carries that thing everywhere as well as to bed so I would definitely recommend this player for children ages 6 - 12 or even 13. It is sturdy, cute, practical and a great alternative to the IPod (of which I have many).

Great for kids except the earpods are for adult ears and don't fit a 5 year olds ears. Also, it should have a display that tells one which song (number) is being played. Even a $4 kids watch has a display.
