Excellent Little Player

This player is great for kids due to the built-in speaker. I'm not happy having my kids (6 & 8) using earbuds, both to protect their hearing and to have them socializing rather than being isolated by their music. The controls are simple to work out even for young kids, and the unit is robust - we've had ours for a year now and it's still going strong. The sound from the little speaker is remarkably good, and the fact that it can't get too loud is a plus for me. The 512mb version that we have holds plenty of songs, but it would be easy enough to swap out SD cards if we needed more room. If we were to use it while travelling, the fact that it has dual headphone jacks is a plus, but their sound quality is not great - I suspect that the sound has been tuned for the speaker.
