I had a bunch of cheap counterfeit Chinese mp3 players for years - they'd all work perfectly well for a year and then something would happen. For the price I paid, it was an awesome deal.

Then I got greedy and, after getting a Vaio, I decided to go for a Sony mp3 player - and it turned out to be my worst purchase ever. I must've had about 6 or 7 players in under 4 months. I finally asked for a refund and bought a new counterfeit Chinese mp3 player.

That is, until my fiancée got me an iPod nano. It's got just one problem (the main button is too fragile), but I can fix it for 25 dollars whenever it happens - and it's happened just once after the warranty expired. I complained a lot on the first week until I got the hang of it, but now I love it, and I can't see myself with another mp3 player any more

I might consider getting an iPod. The thing is, the Samsung players are basically as well-reviewed as iPods are, so I don't see why this thing should have been so crappy. Perhaps I just got a defective unit.

That's possible. Give it another shot, you may have just got unlucky

I've never had a problem with my iPod. Had one of the original ones that lasted for years, until I got sick of such low space and got myself an 80gb one. Probably upgrade to a 160 soon enough.

I've had my 6GB iRiver e10 player for like 4 years or something, still works fine

I've almost never had problems with samsung products, and whenever I did, they'd allow me to just ship it back to them so they could fix it for free, regardless of how old and worn the product was, or whether I had a warranty. I guess they stopped doing this

I have good previous experiences with Samsung as well. My DVD player and TV are both Samsung and work fine. I think I just got a dud...

I've had a tiny, 8gb Creative player for about three years. It has so many flaws and faults I can't even remember how a normal MP3 player is supposed to work, but it hasn't broken yet (even though it occasionally crashes).

Lost my grip and my vision gone dull
I swing my hip like a dancer gone numb
I saw your shadow, saw the skeleton run
Now something’s missing from my memory of … you
You shake my world from my ground to my head
Distant noise that wake me out of bed
I listen as the walls cave in
I’m hanging on ’cause your memories spin on
