 First was good, second unit died in 10 minutes January 27, 2007
W. Wu (Los Angeles)
EDIT: This was a 1-star rating - Amazon changed it between previw and save I think.
My wife was/is happy with our original unit. She's been running with it for about a year, and it has worked well. The only issue she has had was the headphone cable stripped out at the socket - something she blames on bad design. I personally think that the mini "joystick" is really hard to use, something that has been expressed on these boards already. However, the functions for this little player are really nice.
We purchased a new second unit. Prior to doing so, I re-read some of the reviews here, but just didn't believe that the product could simply die after a few uses. So I went ahead and purchased the unit anyway since our first has been reliable. The second unit died within 10 minutes of my first loading of music. First, I could not get the menu to come up on screen. Next, the screen disappeared all together. Third, the unit would not turn off (music kept playing). Finally it just died and the PC won't even recognize that it is attached by the USB cord.
It's hard for me to give this a 1-star rating since my wife has enjoyed it. However, it's a simple chip and flash drive. There is no excuse for the thing to die in literally 10 minutes (I'm really not kidding about the time). Since there are other stories about that here, the QC on these devices must be pretty horrid. Buy at your own risk.

A decent buy for the price. This is my 2nd Lyra and I hope this one lasts longer then the 1st which got wet from sweat/drizzle. This one is supposed to be able to handle the moisture.
Easy to use. As of late, will not turn off--must remove battery to shut-off. Maybe it is a low battery.
 Quit working after 5 uses July 16, 2006
Run4Fun (Texas)
I had been very happy with this player until is just quit working in the middle of my run. I turned it on, the sound was off - like it was coming from somewhere other than the ear buds. Two minutes into the song, the sound is just a dull hum and that's the end of the story. I tried to re-set it by taking the batteries out, no luck. I tried to work with it through the computer, but the driver for it wouldn't even recognize it. The manual is lacking, it says replace the battery and if that doesn't work pay to mail it back for repairs. Thankfully I was able to return it for a full refund and now I'm searching for a more reliable player. I had only used it about 5 times when this happened. I'm very disappointed.
Great for mp3, far superior to many. Sucks for audible.com June 8, 2006
DigitalSoul_1 (San DiegoNYC, CA USA)
I've been through a bunch of impossible players which don't allow folders. This is the sturdiest and best for recorded books EXCEPT audible.com (it simply won't go to "last position" playback for audible). I use other players for audible but THIS one is the balm for simply dragging and dropping album folders and book folders onto its flash drive. I've dropped mine dozens of times expecting it's gone and yet it always survives my abuse. Other players force you to interface with Windows Media Player etc. This one doesn't. It also has a non proprietary usb device AND and gets an impossible amount of usage from one AA battery. A dream boat of a unit.
Look somewhere else March 3, 2006

Got this for my wife as a gift because she loves to work out with her mp3 player. Control stick was hard to use; rarely the direction you move it was the direction shown. HR monitor was completely off, showed a resting HR of ~160 BPM for a healthy adult. Would not recommend this product to anyone looking to for an mp3 player to work out with. Try the Zen Nano Plus or Sandisk players. They have armbands and are much easier to use, especially when running.
