I decided to buy the Eco Media player because I was tired of my batteries running out on the bus and I haven't been disappointed with my purchase. I gave the player its initial 3 hour charge on the computer about 3 weeks ago and I haven't had to wind it yet! It has a great battery, great sound quality and I've used both a Mac and PC to load music onto it without any problems. The torch and loudspeakers are added bonuses. No one believes me when I tell them I have a wind-up mp3 player but when I show them it they're always really impressed. I would recommend it to anyone. More great work from Trevor Baylis!
