But to be fair to the manufacturers of this product, we were trying to convert our Ipod songs onto her Barbie mp3. It proved to be quite challenging initially. After we found out how to do it, it became easier but still time consuming. It took hours!
The end result is that, we paid a great price, my daughter loves this player, it holds lots of songs, she can take it anywhere, but the songs were a pain to load. All in all, if I had to do it again, I probably would just buy a small Ipod for her because it is compatible with what we already have at home.
But she still loves this player, so the original goal was met.
This was by far the best gift she received. She loves it and rarely puts it down. The player is easy to use, even at age 6. She figured out how to turn it on, play and skip to the next song almost instantly.
The player comes with three different size earbud covers, so will most likely fit any size ear. However, we had a set of kids earphones that fit over the head that she likes better. I suspect that older girls will like the earbuds because they are 'cooler', but my daughter didn't like the feel of them in her ears.
I was a little nervous about the software install since I am a Mac user and the software doesn't work with Mac. However, I had no problems installing it with Parallels Desktop/Microsoft Windows Vista -- the Barbie Girls software installed flawlessly and we have no troubles with it at all.
That said, I don't transfer files that way. When I connect the Barbie Girls MP3 player to my MacBook Pro (without Parallels running) the Mac sees the MP3 player as a hard drive. I am able to open it and drag and drop my daughter's songs directly onto the MP3 player -- much simpler and easier than using Windows Media Player and Syncing.
I wasn't expecting much from this product at the low price I paid, but I have to say I have been very pleasantly surprised. This is truly a great product at a amazing price. I wish there was a boys version...
