Craig Electronics - CMP615D MP3 Player Review

I bought the Craig 1g mp4 player CMP615D about a little over a year ago when it went onsale for $15. I had previously bought other more expensive players and had even bought the extra "accidental" policies because I am very hard on my electronics. My 1st player went for a swim when a canoe got tipped over and my second player got slammed in a car door by my son. Both instances were not things that were covered in those extra policies. So rather than paying for more expensive items that I would probably just break I decided to go with the cheapies. So far this player has survived heavy use, being slammed in the car door (by me this time), being dropped more times that I can count, numerous outings in the rain, being left in the car in freezing and roasting temps, and many other acidents. The battery still holds a great charge and my only complaint is that I wish I could just add extra memory to it. The manual that came with it was a little hard to read, but it is easy enough to go to the company website and download the manual as a pdf. It's hard outer shell is great especially for those of us who just through the thing in a pocket or purse and go. For the consumer who is sure they are going to be rough on a product I've been satisfied and have gotten a lot more use out of it that I ever thought I would and it is still going great. Maybe I've gotten the lucky one out of the bunch but I am definitly going to get another Craig when I've finally beaten this one to death.
