features of your new MP3 Player

Good looking. Smart. Reliable. And lots of fun. Your new MP3 player is all this and more. Its compact silhouette takes up the tiniest space in your pocket, and its state-of-the-art technology delivers rich sound. You’ll love your new MP3 player, whether you’re exercising, downloading your favorite tunes, or even listening to FM Radio. Use it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE!
The MP3 player is an USB-integrated product with no need for a USB cable, which offers you fast data transfer and convenient recharging.
FREEDOM OF MY FAVORITE SELECTION WITH MP3 PLAYER!
You can edit your favorite music fi les in the playlist.
EXPANSION AND COMPATIBILITY
With your new player, you’re not limited to MP3 fi les. Your player supports MP3 and WMA formats.
TOUCH NAVIGATION!
You can tap on the touch pad to navigate through the menus.
LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER DOWNLOADING!
A fully charged battery can play up to 15 hours of music (when using the earphone).
