Beware! Not a USB 2.0 device
Even though the technical details on this page specify the term "USB 2.0", this is a USB 1.1 device (which is a lot slower for transfers). This might be a good gift for kids, but given the price it is better to look for other cheaper options...

We like these!
I researched the kid-friendly mp3 players and chose this one over the Fisher Price fp3 for my two older daughters. I liked that this player uses mp3 files so we don't have to worry about converting our music files to any other format, and I liked the dual headphone jacks as well as the internal speaker.

My girls (7 and 5) love these! They are easily able to turn them on and play their music. The technique to shake the player while holding down the button took a minute or two to get down, but they're now experts at it. And we've had no trouble at all with the bottom battery cover staying on - if you make sure that it clicks when you put it on, it should stay just fine. My daughters love that it's pink, and that they can listen without headphones by using the speaker. I do wish that it came with a pair of 'kid friendly' headphones rather than the earbuds - the earbuds don't fit in their ears and I prefer them to use headphones. So we'll be buying those separately, but I've been very happy with the Sansa Shaker mp3 players.

I should mention that one of ours stopped working a few days after we got them - but Amazon customer service has been wonderful and we had a new one on the way the same day that I requested to return the old one. Thank you, Amazon!

Excellent gift for kids
This item has been reviewed a lot. My daught loves it so much. I bought two more. One for my dad and one for my nephew. The manual says for eight years or older. That is nonsense. I do not see any problem to give it to my three years old. The end cap is not easy to take off by kids. I have no problem with it so far. But have to see how long it can last. If it lasts for three years, then it is fine. I have to replace battery every couple of days. I wish that could be improved. But no big deal. Will use rechargeable battery.

Waste of money
I purchased a Shaker for a Christmas gift and the thing was nothing but problems from the moment my son opened it. I spent hours troubleshooting the player trying to make it work. I changed the batteries, put in a memory cards, and reformatted the music. It worked for a few weeks and it finally just quit working. Absolute waste of money!!!

May be broken easily and problem with other language
To bottom lid is hard to open and it can broken the next song button since they stay very close.
If the song has other language in any tag, the player cannot play those songs. So I can't play all the song which I like.
