Trekstor 74312 i.Beat sonix 2GB MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this player brand new and used it for a year.
When I looked at the player, I noticed there was a hole to press to reset the player which I'd hadnt seen on my other player.
My unit need to be reset frequently. I had to make sure that I always had a paperclip in my bag (an unbent clip could fit in the hole).

The touch screen doesn't work well at all. The player would only accept my finger touch from certain angles. Only taps from my pinky would work. I live in NYC, so we have cold weather and you need to wear gloves in the winter. Forget trying to use the screen with gloves. It was annoying to have to take off my glove and then get the right angle, if i wanted to skip the song or change the radio station.

The random play wasnt random. I already knew which song would play next, it never varied. When i would upload new songs, the system would throw in the new songs in the mix. Then it would be assigned a permanent spot. Same order.

The only plus is its size and the battery life.
My previous player was TrekStor i.Beat cebrax MP3 Digital player, this unit was soo much better. Its just lacking the large screen.

I have now changed to a Sansa Sandisk, which has buttons that can used with gloves.
