The Bassplay P3000 is diminutive but it packs a much larger audio punch
As China Crisis once sang, The Bigger the Punch I'm Feeling, but in a smaller package.....Just received my new Bassplay today, so this is merely first impressions, but so far this diminutive lossless player seems to be pretty fantastic. It's quite a bit tinier than I thought it would be, but portability-wise, it's amazing. It seems reasonably sturdy. I've used my trusty iPod Classic 160 GB for at least the past 11 years or so. I still love it, but what I never was terribly fond of was dealing with ITunes, being locked into using it exclusively, and not being able to use lossless FLAC files, and all the conversion headaches, and also, lately ITunes was just malfunctioning, and I think my IPod was about ready to die, it kept locking on me and I kept having to restore it. Not a good sign. It got to be irritating enough that I just wasn't using it much anymore, a shame, given I'd just invested in some truly luscious new headphones, so a replacement needed to be secured. Hell, I can always use the Ipod as a car player, as long as it keeps working!So I researched my options, and I didn't really feel like blowing $800 on a truly high-end Onkyo, Astell & Kern, Pioneer or Hifiman lossless player, as wonderful as they might be. If you're on a budget, this seems to be a good solution thus far. I own a new pair of wonderful Hifiman 400I planar-magnetic headphones, as well as my trusty Fiio Kilimanjaro headphone amp, a tiny portable one, and still wanted to use that with any player I might get. So far, I'm just using the stock 16GB memory card, I loaded it up with some faves, charged, and it charged really fast, set my EQ to Rock, plugged in my Hifimans, my head amp, and let rip. I thought I'd set the EQ but it was off, it sounded ok, a bit low level, than realized the EQ setting hadn't taken, I set it for Rock, and my goodness I heard the player shift up to a much more robust output level, as I was accustomed to when using the Ipod Classic with the head amp. I always recommend using a good headphone amp with players like this, or anything,especially if you've invested in some higher-end headphones, as I have recently. I'm sure the Onkyo or Astell & Kern, or Top level Hifiman players are all superior, but look at the price points involved. The Bassplay is a budget player but the quality seems decent for all that, even if it's not a truly high-end piece of equipment.Right now I'm playing Steely Dan's AJA in true lossless format from the remastered albums, and my goodness, it sounds darned good! I think it's sounding at least as good as my old iPod, if not better. As with my older iPod and adding the HIfiman phones, I'm hearing every single detail in Steely Dan's music, much of the nuances I've never heard before as clearly. There is just a totally clear soundstage now, nothing between my ears and the music, and I'm hearing every single cymbal decay on songs like "Babylon Sisters" or "Peg," and the bass is solid but never overpowering or distorted, mids seem adequate to very good, highs are there but not over-bright. Just astounding, although yes, some of this new detail is due largely to the beauty of the Hifiman open-back planar phones, but not all of it. I think this is at least the Ipod's equal, audio-wise. Plenty of power, especially with a good headphone amp attached, and I'm not hearing much or any, distortion.My PC recognized the player but it did take a few tries before I could see the player recognized in my Windows file browser. The controls are really quite simple, USI reasonably uncluttered and easy to navigate. Adding music was a simple matter of firing up my trusty portable HD music archive, dragging and dropping folders to the P3000, that easy, and the transfer was pretty fast. No software or firmware update was required. Only downside is the small card they supply, but I intend to go buy a 128 GB SD as soon as I can do so, and upgrade. For a portable lossless player that is a mini-size and is under $100, I don't see how this can be beat, as long as it lasts. I'll try to update later this year as I use it more. I also considered that Walker lossless (also a fairly "mini" size profile) player with Bluetooth, which I read was also quite good for the money, but I really don't have much use for BT and am not using wireless phones, so I passed on that one. Packing was fine, includes basic white buds, USB cable, memory card, and a cute lil' pouch case. Instructions adequate if not super in-depth, and from China so the Ingles is a bit garbled. Shipping was fast and secure, another Amazon win-win thus far.

very expensive paperweight--know ahead you'll be better putting match to $$
like nothing dislike wasting 4 hours---I've been able download songs from laptop from very first. I've got 525 songs but can actually listen to 7! No, this is not a typo! Have attempted to contact seller (Bass Play) but they've responded with "canned" 'fixes' ONLY!I would have given less than 1 star but Amazon doesn't allow...so it's going to earn its lousy 1 star--Next time I go camping, I plan to see how many "skips" I can get on lake....Great size/shape so I'm betting on at least 6 skips! It will be a fitting ending to the crappiest experience I've had in 8 YEARS with Amazon!

Pretty Good But Lacks Some Important Things
It seems like finding a budget Mp3 player these days is very difficult. Most people tend to use their phones now, but for those of us who want to go to the gym without lugging a smartphone around while not being slaves to Apple's terrible policies and products, we're kind of left out to dry. And when you finally do find one, there are a lot of caveats. This device is no exception unfortunately.The Good:- High quality audio for this price is a wonderful thing. This may be the highest quality audio you can listen to for the lowest price.- Physical buttons and wheel that won't be dying on you (Unlike touch controls). If you're like me and running at the gym, you also want buttons you can feel out to switch songs, adjust volume etc. This is a good device for that sort of thing.- Great, solid build. Seems to be made out of aluminum while most in this price range are made of cheap plastic. I've dropped it a couple of times and there's been no damage whatsoever.The Bad:- Shuffle is not completely random and therefore kind of useless. This is an issue with a lot of budget mp3 players, but they lately have had the tendency to shuffle in clumps of songs instead of each individual song. In other words, it'll group songs together, and then shuffle those songs, but those same songs you listened to back-to-back will be back-to-back once more after the shuffle happens and they come up again. This may not seem like a big deal at first, but when you know what's coming next for several songs in a row, it's infuriating and makes the feature useless.- Playlist functionality is woefully lacking. There's an option to create a playlist in the settings, but clicking the option will do nothing. There are three default playlists that you can go through each of your songs and add them to in, but there is only a maximum of 100 songs allowed in those 3 playlists each. So in essence, once you use up 300 playlist song slots, you're out of luck. This one is a deal breaker for me, personally.Overall, if you're not concerned with things like playlists and shuffle, you'll find this has some of the best audio for its price, and I don't foresee it breaking on you either. I've had this for over a year and it's functioned despite a couple of bad drops and even in high/low temperatures.But if you're like me and the above does matter to you, unfortunately your quest for a great budget mp3 player will need to continue.

Product and service, excellent!
I was familiar with the maker of this product, a mp3 player, and had purchased a similar model prior to this purchase. I haven't used it yet, but the previous purchase proved to be an excellent product, and I expect this product will be the same. It just has has a larger storage capacity. The delivery also proved to be right on the, 2 day delivery date. Excellent service.

Almost perfect.
The player is OK but the earphones are a bit of a disappointment and it plays the songs by alphabetical order and not by track number.
