RCA - 512MB MP3 Player Review Summary

A good music storage and listening device for beginners, RCA 512 MB MP3 Player is a smaller MP3 player in terms of storage space. Reviewers rate this MP3 player as good and they point out the inexpensive price, the great sound quality of the music, the cordless connection, and the included earbuds among the reasons to like this MP3 player. The RCA 512 MB MP3 Player is a “Nice Little Player, Good Sound for the Price”, and another reviewer chimes in saying “This is the Perfect First MP3 Player for My Kids”. Not everything, however, is great with this MP3 player, and reviewers are quick to point out issues with downloading and the tendency to drain the battery quickly among the negative aspects of this MP3 player. Add everything together and you have an average MP3 Player with some good points and some bad points, but a good first MP3 player nonetheless.

I couldn't find my shuffle, so I bought this little mp3 player for jogging.  The battery option on it is really nice, because I forget to charge my shuffle and the battery last for awhile.  Plus you can see what song is playing.  Its really easy to load and is really lite.  I was very pleased with... read full review »

This mp3 player is small and sleek and boasts easy cordless USB port connection. 

I found the initial setup simple and relatively user friendly even for less technically savvy people. The EMusic sign up was also just as easy and was nice because there was no need to enter a credit card number to begin...

This MP3 player is a good "starter" player.  I purchased  this one for my son.  This player is easy to use.  The controls are easy to understand.  All in all, I would say that this is a great and inexpensive MP3 player.   It is easy to upload and also easy to delete songs to and from the playlist.  The sound quality is very good.  My son likes the fact that the earbud headphones provided with the MP3 player have good quality sound.  It also has a wide volume range.  I was able to upload about 110 songs to the player before its memory was full which makes it great for children.  The...

Had some problems deleting songs after downloading them but with the website, I was able to figure out was I was doing wrong. Great sound quality, easy to use. Very good price for the storage.I really recommend getting better headset for the mp3 player though. Very quickly I started losing sound in one earpiece. Other than those few minor problems I would definetly recommend this to anyone who is not gadget savvy or for kids you don't want to spend a lot of money on for electronics. My 8 year old was able to use this!

Once I figured how to download to it, it was great. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my daughter but I have downloaded to it and listened just to make sure it was going to work for her. It came with a free year at emusic which either doesnt have the greatest selection of songs or I just can't find them but since it is for my daughter it works because they have all the kidz bop albums. I would definitely reccomend for a first time user.

I love this product!  I was not sure how it would perform due to its budget price, but it has exceeded any expectations that I had.  The interface is easy to read, which is a departure from many mp3 players.  The battery life is better than other units also (I usually get over 30 hours from 1 battery).  The sound is very clear and powerful, even more now that I switched headphones.  This player is very easy to manipulate, both adding and deleting songs from it.  The USB port is easily hidden to avoid breaking it.  It is a small unit that can hold a lot of songs.  It fits nicely into a pocket...

My son really wanted an MP3 player for his birthday but he has been careless with equipment before.  So I wanted to get him one that was reasonably priced so that if it got lost it would be no big deal...but it has great sound quality - so good he won't listen to me and keep the volume down and has gone thru 2 sets of earbuds...other wise has been very reliable...he does say that it is a bit touchy when put in your pocket..

Very easy to use music player. this player is very affordable and great for the person that is on a budget. holds quite a lot of songs to be 512 megabytes. have alright music quality. did I say that it is very affordable and light weight. great for a runner or to have when excercising. very small and is actually a better deal than the ipod shuffle. why spend all that money on a name when you can have quality for cheaper.

I was looking for a "starter" MP3 player for my "pre-teens."  This is just great for them!  And the size is great!  I would recommend.  It is easy to use.  I did not have any problems downloading the songs that my kids picked out.  They like that the songs can play in the order that they were entered, or they can switch up and it will play random tracks.

is very practical,not to many buttons,and does not confuse you if it is your first time using modern stuff.save enough music to on the road and enjoy your favorite music in one little small thing ,instead of a big CD player.you can do jump,run without discomfort or thinking that the CD may fall from your big pocket.

This was the best investment I have ever made. It sounds great and plays real nice. I forget what it's like to be without it. My MP3 player is my prize possession and it can be yours too. The price is nothing compared to the quality of the sound. I have looked at and heard other ones but this RCA sounds as good as the best in the market.

My 8 year old wanted an ipod but I didn't like the price so I looked into mp3 players. I didn't want anything too complicated since she doesn't have any similar electronics plus she broke her first portable cd player. This mp3 player held up to 'backpack' tossing, stepping on, and it is easy to use.
