I was looking for an MP3 player, so I did not have to run down battery on my phone while at the gym. So far, this has served my needs well and has better sound quality than I expected. A couple of things I have found are to load it slowly as it quit before completing 6 folders of around 50 tracks each. I was able to restart where it stopped, and no harm, no foul. The other is it is very basic in functionality. I have not tried the shuffle or repeat functions, but it just displays filenames as opposed to MP3 tag information. One other thing to mention: I was unable to connect onn. wireless earphones to it. These are the "banded" type, i.e, the two buds are connected by a wire with a control/mic in-line and no case. I reached out to the seller (I know, that doesn't belong in a product review, but relevant enough) and received no response. I ended up doing some research and got some onn. wireless earphones, the type with a charging/pairing case and no wires, and easy-breezy connected first try. I have not tested other features as all I required was MP3 capabilities, so I cannot speak to those.
