5 GB MP3 Jukebox for $77 @ Fry's

[Big Smooth]

OK, this thing seems to be somewhat crappy, but it doesn't get much cheaper than 5 Gigs for $77.

The make & model number listed in the ad is the GPX BA-1000 5G.
This product is made by Bantam Interactive. It came out about two years ago at a retail price of $330. It actually has a lot of features such as WMA support, line in, voice recorder, FM tuner, etc.
Problems? It's somewhat bulky, the sound quality isn't great, it's not that stable (tends to lock up), battery isn't replaceable, some parts are cheaply made, software is crappy.

But for sheer storage for the dollar, this can't be beat! :jester:

Here are some reviews (you'll notice that some are actually positive!):

Cheap portable storage with an FM Tuner, sounds like a winner to me :yelclap:

Thanks!
