Originally purchased for school... not in a typical listening to music setting. I am taking quite a few online classes, but the worst parts of those classes are the lecture videos. Once slaved to my laptop or desktop, now I can download this lecture videos and watch/listen to them on the go! Carrying around a few ounces in your palm verses a couple of pounds for a laptop is a tremendous difference! Nevertheless, not just stuck with video, this little device is great for listening to music. Whether through the headphones, or the auxiliary input on the car. Great rich sound quality. Highly recommended for anyone!
