RUIZU 16GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.3, 1.8" Screen Portable Music Player with FM Radio, Voice Recorder, 80H Audio Shuffle Playback, Lightweight for Sport Running, Expanded Up to 128GB Micro SD Card

I read the reviews and took a shot on this and happy I did. This is a no-frills MP3 player - you charge it up, load songs, hook it to a speaker or headphone and listen to music. No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no overly complex product with features you don't need or require you to login and have your activity monitored.PROs:* Small and lightweight - I thought I was shipped an empty box until I opened it.* Sliding power button - probably one of its best features - no, not the sliding button with a spring you have to hold for x seconds to power up or down, this my friends is a simple power switch. Slide it one way, its ON, slide the other way, its off. No waiting for power-ups, shut downs, etc. In the middle of song and you have to shut it off? - just flip the switch and you're done.* Has internal memory! - I didn't read the description in detail, so maybe I missed this, but I hooked it up to my computer to charge, fully prepared to rip open the 32GB micro SD card I bought with it to load songs and viola, the MP3 player has its own flash drive. I apologize, I don't recall the size the size, but I loaded well over 4GB of MP3s without and issue and they played fine.* Battery seems good and long, I connected it to a passive speaker and it played for well over six hours without issue. Pretty sure it will go much longer, but I haven't tested it extensively.* Simply a great device if you just want a simple MP3 player without worrying about running your phone's battery down, buying a Bluetooth speaker, or forgetting to grab your phone that you connected to a wired speaker.CONs:*It's small, lightweight and made of plastic (not bad things), so while it's tempting to throw in your pocket, I'd worry about snapping it in half. It's not flimsy per se, but I wouldn't risk dropping it or putting it somewhere it might get tossed around or compressed.* My only complaint (hence the four star rating) is there is no shuffle option - at least not that I've been able to find. As others have stated, there doesn't seem to be a good way to choose songs. Personally, I don't need to pick a specific song, I just want to listen to music in a random order. So far it appears to either play in the order songs were loaded in or alphabetic order - haven't paid really looked into which. I know many modern cars with USB ports for playing MP3s go the former route. There is software you can download to select the play order for such devices, but the problem is still the same for me - the player will always play the songs in the same order. I assumed this was the case when I bought it, I was just hoping it wasn't.All-in-all, it's still a great player at a reasonable price.Updated 10-12-18Found the shuffle play! Maybe this is in the manual I haven't read, but if you're playing a song and press the M button, the player will show some additional menu items. Among them is shuffle. Select it then scroll to YES (no seems to be the default). Press the center button then you're golden. Really love this player now.

Bought this for my 12 yr old. He loves it, radio works pretty good and gets decent reception. Connects easily to wireless earbuds. It has survived quite a few drops.

Been looking for a decent mp3 player for a while so that I can consolidate my CD collection and some media that can't be found in physical forms anymore. It's pretty good for the price. It's made of plastic, so it's a little flimsy and I worry about dropping it, and the screen catches finger prints easily, but it isn't so fragile that it'll break in your pocket or if you set it down too hard. Sound quality with the earbuds it comes with is actually pretty decent as far as wired headsets go, but if you want to connect your Bluetooth earbuds you can do that instead. Decent amount of storage, really easy to load songs onto it - it acts as an external hard drive when plugged into your laptop so you can just organize them into folders in your files and then copy them over. The USB cable that it comes with does the job nicely. There is a bit of a delay when turning it off between clicking the switch over and the screen going dark. All in all pretty solid.

Apparently, they created a new version of the product. I know this, because that's what the manual is for. But it talks about features that the delivered device doesn't have.The user interface is truly atrocious. The pathetic thing about it is, I wouldn't care at all if they simply included the correct manual. I don't mind learning a difficult interface. But when the interface is not discoverable, and various features require pressing multiple buttons simultaneously, then you have to be able to look it up and find out which buttons to press. There is no other way.If instead of the WRONG manual they had included a web address of a PDF with the correct manual, the problem would be significantly reduced. But this is just intentionally dishonest; they printed the wrong number of manuals, or built the wrong number of devices, and just mix-and-matched. But they don't have the same software. They don't have the same menus.If you change the software, you should update the product model number and this would never happen.A simple and important feature like the screensaver settings are listed in the manual, but not in the device menu. Does this mean you can't change the settings? Who knows.The interface also lags really bad. Press pause; now press play. There is such a long delay between pressing the button and the music starting that the natural instinct is to press it again; but if you do that, it plays about 1/5th of a second of music and then pauses again. Immediately. If the music is paused and press play/pause twice, rapidly, it instantly plays this short blip of music before returning to being paused. But if you just press it once, it sits there thinking about it before even starting. Very klunky interface.The sound quality is pretty bad, too. Setting the EQ to "rock" gives a flatter response than "off," they simply didn't bother tuning the defaults to give a flat response. So none of the EQ settings do what they were intended to do! All they had to do was tune the no-EQ settings, and the EQ formulas would all be good. But without that, they're not.Overall, the experience is worse than one of those old USB stick players with no screen and 3 buttons. The one and only advantage of this device is that it is rechargeable.
