This is a perfect device for me. I wanted a way to easily find new music to download play in my car and at work. This device provides this with the Rhapsody service available via wireless networks. The rhapsody service has had almost every artist I have searched for. This device has a few bugs, but they should be fixed in the next firmware release coming out soon.
 Product Defective & Ordered Replacement (To be continued) January 22, 2008

Product came out of the box defective. Static on playback due to some problem with the audio output connection. At first, other than the static that could be adjusted away, it performed fine. However, just a week after purchase, the second problem came during downloading Rhasody Channels. When downloading the channels, the unit froze. I disconnected from the computer, and rebooted, and it seemed fine. After that, it never turned on again without a fatal error message, and was inoperable. I am in the process of returning and replacing, and will see if the replacement works properly.ibiza Rhapsody H1A030BK 30 GB Wi-Fi/MP3 Player by Haier (Black)
Spot on features and design January 21, 2008

As were many others, I was reluctant to purchase an MP3 player from a company that normally manufactures microwave ovens, dehumidifiers, and other home appliances. I watched reviews and comments about the ibiza for a month before jumping in. I've owned several hard drive MP3 players in the last year, culminating in an Archos 504 WiFi that was working pretty well for me until Urge and Rhapsody merged, and I lost a compatible subscription based music service.
The Haier Ibiza is the first player I've owned that hits every major requirement I have. Subscription based music with a broad, deep catalog, unprotected music, unrestricted WiFi, bluetooth, a reasonable, quick, well designed UI, etc.
Additionally, the development team at VariaMobile, the folks who are developing the software for this device have taken a very open, community driven approach to making this device better.
Downside? There are no accessories yet, (specifically a docking station). The player cannot be used while connected USB to your computer, (my previous Archos models would prompt, asking if it should connect, or simply charge).
Haier and Varia have put together a potent combination of features that more than justify the price, (some have complained it is too expensive). Anyone looking for a player that does music, subscriptions, and pod-casts will not be disappointed. I haven't even dug into the video features yet.

OK PC mag and the rest hear this. Finally a truly awesome player with all the bells and whistles and it actually works flawless. The best of the bunch. I have wasted a lot of money and returned the bad. It doesn't freeze up and glitch like many of the so called ipod wanna be models. This one is actually much better than my 60 gig 5th gen ipod. It's a little pricey yeh but if you like Rhapsody this is it.period end of story.

I'm almost 70 years old and wanted an I-Pod or something similar to listen mostly to podcasts and secondarily to music and FM radio. I've never owned an I-Pod before so don't have a great basis to compare with. But I do love the Ibiza Rhapsody. I didn't care for the provided earbuds because after a while they hurt my ears. But I found a nice headset from Wal-Mart for $7 that's just perfect because the "buds" don't stick inside the ear but rest on the outside (they're secured by an ear loop). The quality of the music is astonishing to me. Fats Domino never sounded better (told you I was 69!). I was mostly super pleased at the wide variety of podcasts that were available and that I could load onto the Rhapsody with just a click--and no PC needed. I like downloading all that are of potential interest to me and then deleting them after I've listened to them. One last, big point for me. I got the Ibiza for Christmas and four days later it stopped working. Amazon shipped me a new one even before they had the "broken" one picked up from me. I didn't have to do anything and had a replacement within a few days. The "new" one has worked perfectly. And with this kind of service available from Amazon, why would you ever order an Ibiza anywhere else? Hope my experience helps you make a decision. I'm thrilled!
