I received an Insignia 4GB Video MP3 Player for review.
If you don't know, Insignia is the house brand of electronics at Best Buy, and, we have been very pleased with their portable DVD player as well as the 2G mp3 player.
The 4GB is loaded with features:
- Holds up to 1,000 songs, 4,000 photos, 50 audiobooks or 14 movies
- Pocket-size design measures just over 0.6" thin and weighs only 2.4 ounces
- Supports MP3 formats and most image and video formats
- Bluetooth-enabled, so you can listen wirelessly through compatible headphones
- 2.2" high-resolution LCD color display
- Built-in FM tuner with 20 presets
- Features a microSD expansion slot for additional memory capacity
- Quick Start Guide
- 1-year Limited Warranty
- 2-free months of Real Rhapsody music subscription
- Coupon for free Audible.com book
The advertised carrying case isn't much, just a plastic cover, but, with all the mp3 player accessories on the market, it wouldn't be hard to find one to match your taste.
I love the rubber sport exterior of it, and, the screen is amazingly clear, and, the sound is excellent. It also comes with a USB cable, ear bud headphones, and, CD-ripping software.
The controls are pretty intuitive, the kids got it right away (so ask them if you have any questions), and, I had no problem getting it to work on Windows. It's cheaper than an i-Pod nano, and, it has video and FM radio. Seems like a pretty good deal to me!
It even comes with a few songs and videos already on it that are actually pretty good. Actually, they're pretty catchy. I had no problem getting it to work on Windows.
It retails for $159.99 at online at Best Buy.

I purchased the Insignia 4GB Video MP3 Player for my 17 yr. old son. It lasted 3 months! When he was scrolling through the music, the screen started to disappear. I brought it to a BB store and was informed that we mishandled the screen on the player by touching it and broke it. Customer Service at BB is telling me basically "Too Bad" - the Insignia warranty and the BB Replacement Plan isn't good for an item we broke!!! I really think that the screen should have been able to handle being touched. The player was never dropped or mishandled. Has anyone had this happen?

I bought an Insignia MP3 player for my sons birthday. He got in the car and hooked headphones up for us. We noticed the screen was broke. Best Buy said he broke it on purpose to get a differnt MP3 player. The thing lastest 5 days before breaking. Best Buy told us too bad for you. I went to Circut City to buy him a laptop for Christmas. Too Bad for Best Buy
