i didn't have any prior experience with mp3 players before purchasing this one. i was a little worried at first that it was going to be hard to figure out, but it was a cinch!

Purchased this about 1.5 months ago, still haven't decided if I like it. I wish that it would insert a bookmark on its own, as my car stereo does when playing a book on CD. I do not like having to set the bookmark on purpose. I also find it confusing on its navigability.
Other than that - the sound is good.
Why can't there be something out there just for audiobooks?
Great Little Player - Great Little Price July 25, 2010

I wanted an inexpensive flash drive player that would hold all my music as a secondary player to my Zunes. I ended up going with the Mozaic since it was only $70 for 16gb (have over 14gb of music). Since the price was so low, I ended up buying 3 (2 for me and 1 for a friend). I can't say enough good things about this player.
First impressions:
It's a lot smaller than I expected. The photos are enlarged. It's about the size of a credit card and a bit thicker than a CD case. The comments about the small buttons are real - they're small. But, you get used to them quicker than you think you will. It's got a lot of stuff in its little package: speaker, microphone/recorder, music, video, FM radio, sleep timer, and equalizer. It works with Windows Media Player automatically and it's easy to load. The sound with my Maxell headphones (don't like earbuds) is just as good as my Zunes.
After several weeks:
It's even better. The battery life is great. I charge one at night only and during the day it runs without putting a dent in the battery while I'm commuting and working. I have one in the bedroom connected to the wall charger so it never uses up the battery. I put it on shuffle/repeat with the sleep timer on 90 minutes and listen to music until I fall asleep. It shuts off automatically and I don't have to worry about it.
The speaker is nice. I set the equalizer to Rock and it sounds even better (I got a slight tinny sound on some songs without the equalizer on). I set the shortcut button to "Now Playing" which seems to be the most useful setting for it - no matter where I am in the menu, I can click the shortcut button and get to now playing and I can click the "Menu" button to get to the main menu. The shortcut button is set on speaker by default, but if you plug in headphones the player automatically turns off the speaker and if you unplug the headphones the player automatically turns on the speaker, so there's no need to have a button for that.
The buttons aren't that hard to figure out once you look at them as 1-9 (1,2,3 - top buttons; 4,5,6 - middle; 7,8,9 - bottom):
1 - Menu button; click this to move back to the Main Menu screen
2 - Up button; volume up; scroll up
3 - special menu; this gives you access to a secondary menu for a song; not necessary for most things
4 - Back button; takes you back to the beginning of the song/video or the prior song/video
5 - Select button; click to select the highlighted item
6 - Forward button; takes you to the next song/video
7 - Shortcut button; default for speaker, but set it to Now Playing for a more useful purpose
8 - Down button; volume down; scroll down
9 - Play/Pause button; click to switch between play and pause mode
My friend who is not very comfortable with computers was able to maneuver through the menus, etc. after just one quick walkthrough of the above.
Final Recommendation: This is a great little player at a great little price. If you're looking for a player that can hold around 3500 songs, sounds great, and doesn't cost an arm & leg, this is what you want. I love my Zunes, but they are much more sensitive (I crashed two from playing them 15+ hrs multiple days in a row). The Mozaics are stylish, easy to use, high quality, sturdy, and inexpensive.

Got this a few weeks ago. Could it explode tomorrow yeah I suppose but I'll write based on what I've seen/heard so far. For the price you absolutely can't beat this. I looked at 4-5 different players including the Ipod trust me for about $60 less you are getting just as good if not better player than the Ipod. Apple can afford to charge more for the Ipod just based on name recognition and their fervent followers. Is it justified? Perhaps somewhat they do make a quality product but is it really almost twice as good (from a price perspective)as this baby no way.
The functionality takes a bit to get used to but it is a solid piece of hardware with nice stiff buttons once you learn em all it's simple. I don't use the speaker on it, nice feature but obviously it being so small it's very tinny sounding. Earbuds are very nice real, real good sound quality. I wasn't expecting a hell of a lot but wow was I suprised.
I see a lot of reviews banging on the included software. It does take some getting used to (and some info with the player on it would have been a big help. Even after you get flying along with the software it still gets a bit wonky sometimes but nothing that a little tweaking and patience can't overcome. The absolute greatest feature on the software is the options section where you can decide how detailed you want the music transfer to be. If I recall correctly there are 5 settings from low (1) to high (5). Obviously the higher the detail on the music the better it sounds. It's defaulted to an average 3. I tranferred most of my music on a 4.........completely blown away yes the size of the songs are larger from the additional detail but they sound incredible. I'm going to try setting them on 5 and see what I get it will be better but I'm more than happy with a 4 setting.
All in all this is a great little player very, very glad I went with this over an Ipod not only for the money but IMO it is just as good if not a better player anyhow.
