AGPTEK A02X 32GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.3, 1.8 inch Screen Portable Music Player with Speaker, FM Radio, Voice Recorder, Supports Expanded Up...

I got my son this MP3 because he has started getting more and more into music, but Spotify Kids is a bitch to set up and won't let us add our son to our account. My son is also too young to have a cell phone. So an MP3 was the perfect solution. It's really easy to add music and I can quickly add any songs to it when my son has a new song he really likes. I do have the complaint though that depending on how you have your songs labeled by artist or album etc. It's annoying to change because you can't change it on the MP3 or in the window for the MP3 on your PC when you plugged it in. You have to change on your drive on your pc and then drag it back onto the MP3, unplug the MP3, see if songs sort like you want, and if they don't fix it and check again. The charge however is great!! It holds a charge forever it feels like and charges quickly. Connects to Bluetooth easily. The sound that comes out of the MP3 when you don't have headphones is decent. Navigation is a bit annoying but if my 8 year old can get the hang of it you can too. Now... the sturdiness of this thing... is insane... this thing reminds me of the beast MP3's of my use with how they could survive anything. Why? Cause this thing went through the washer and it still works. Perfectly. Charges, connects to my PC, plays music just like it did before ending up in the washer. Now I can't speak on most features on this thing. I can only talk about using it for music, but in that regard it is well worth the money. It's perfect for kids not just for all the above stuff, but also the size. It's SO small!! But that is perfect for a kid! It fits perfectly in my sons tiny jean pockets!

This product is great and has fairly intuitive controls. The screen quality is surprisingly good. Works perfect with headphones and has full quality when using headphones. But the speaker on it itself is incredibly lacking in sound. It is kind of annoying that it is so hard to see the time when instead of sticking the logo at the top it could have displayed the time. But overall is a great product with great UI especially compared to even cheaper mp3 players.

I had to struggle a lot before I was able to make up my mind on a rating for this player. I've mostly used Phillips brand players in the past because I refuse to put up with the monstrosity of a piece of software that is iTunes and I think Apple products are ludicrously overpriced, which rules out most of the market. But Phillips isn't really doing the mp3 player market anymore, so I had to look elsewhere. Here's what I wanted out of an mp3 player to replace my aging Phillips 8GB: better battery life, higher song capacity, good audio quality, better playlist functionality. I definitely got the first three and only narrowly missed the last one, which is not a reflection on Phillips having good playlist support so much as AGPtEK somehow managing to make playlist functionality WORSE, which I wasn't aware was possible. This mp3 player has fantastic battery life, is very small and light, can be upgraded if I choose to buy a memory card even though the 16GB capacity is pretty roomy already, and has no problems with audio playback quality that I can find. I was able to use Windows Media Player for the initial import of music, which was nice and simple, but that's where my good experience with this player ended. I knew that in order to use the playlist capability I would need to build the playlist in a separate media program (they suggest Media Go or MediaMonkey- I chose the latter) and then import it if I didn't want to be stuck with only the three basic slots on the player for playlists-on-the-go and add each song individually through the player menus, which I have been stuck doing on my Phillips players and is a terrible way to pick out the 75 songs you want on your running playlist from the 150 albums on the player. Anyway, just take my word that this mp3 player has a horrible user interface. If you access your albums through the "music" function it scrambles the order of songs in the album, regardless of title or listed order. It will display them properly if you access them through "folders" but doing that breaks the repeat function and it will immediately go to the next album in the list when you reach the end of the album. My initial import was sorted alphabetically but albums I've added since then immediately go to the bottom of the list in chronological order. I manually created a folder within the folders for playlists and manually made a folder for each playlist, which works pretty well except that, to my great perplexity, the SECOND playlist I synced to that folder (songs in playlists need to be duplicate songs on the player, which I knew going in and was fine with because the player is roomy enough to handle it) also dragged along duplicate album folders for every song in the playlist and dropped them in roughly chronological order at the bottom of my album listing, so now I have 50 or so junk album folders with one or two songs in them cluttering up the bottom of my actual album list. But hey, at least I got the playlists to work, even though any changes to it need to be made by deleting it, editing it in MediaMonkey, and then re-syncing the whole playlist. In the end, I had the presence of mind to realize that this player is really doing everything that I wanted. The folder-album interface problem is not intuitive, but I understand it and can work around it and it isn't THAT inconvenient. It would be inconvenient if I was trying to walk someone else through the process of finding an album or making a playlist, but since I understand it and I'm the only one who uses the player, that's not a problem for me. As it was, I spent probably a solid forty minutes trying to get the playlists to work and not screw up the rest of the interface and only marginally succeeded at the latter part. But still, it was a low-cost player and like I said, it does everything I want it to do with very little actual inconvenience, which is why I decided it was worth four stars.
