Sometimes the player would hang, and it would need to be reset using a pin. Apart from that it works fine.

Personally, I don't think it's all that great a music player for the
money, and really rather overpriced. You can buy a 20gig Rio Karma for a
lot less, and that comes with an ethernet dock. The software for it is
also cross-platform using Java - Rio Music Manager Lite (RMML).
I don't own a Rio Karma, but if I wanted a pure music player, I'd buy
one, no doubt about it.
