Well, I'm not sure I have a worst case of buyer's remorse, but this is definitely a purchase I wound up regretting. I bought an 8 gig mp3 player because it was on sale for a really good price. It's made by some company called GPX and I really don't like it. First off, I want the songs to play in alphabetical order so I get a true mix of bands in each listening experience. Instead, this thing plays the songs in the order in which I loaded them on the player. No amount of fiddling will fix this. Second, the battery life sucks. It lasts about 2-3 hours and then needs to be recharged. That's pretty pathetic. The only good thing is it has a meager little camera, which may come in handy once or twice, except that it has no flash.
I bought a Coby 8 gig mp3 player to replace it, which I got from Amazon using a gift certificate I've had for a while. This one's much better. It plays the songs in alphabetical order if I want it to, and the battery lasts about 15 hours. I wish the GPX one had turned out to be a better purchase because of the added bonus of a camera, but now I won't be using it much at all.
Ahhh, it's Friday the 13th! Too bad for it that Friday the 13th is usually a totally regular day for me, or a great day. No jinx! ;)
