Small, durable, practical.......2007-12-18
Excellent lil' product. Battery life unmatched, easy to transfer songs (just drag & drop). My only problem w/ it is that it doesn't play WAV or AIFF files.
I even dropped it in a stream once while hiking. It was full on submerged for about a second & a half. I pulled the thing out, dried it off and it still works to this day (not recommended nor I am going to repeat that, just was pleasantly surprised).
This is the best portable mp3 player I've used!.......2007-07-26
I've had this player all of an hour now and am very impressed by this tiny unit. Prior to this I had a 1gb ipod shuffle which I absolutely hated and consequently gave away. I've been looking for a decent portable player for a long time and finally settled on this one. Obviously I can't attest to the battery life but if it gives me half of the life it's reviewed to give I'm still tickled pink (75 hours on one AA battery). It can also be used as a data drive simultaneously based on the amount of room left... provided that you have a mini usb cable handy (if it had a built in usb connector I would marry this device). The instruction manual takes 3 minutes to read and is easily understandable. It took about 10 minutes per gb to load and recognizes folder structures at least 3 folders deep ( I haven't tested it to the 7 stated). The headphones aren't great but they don't suck either; I swapped them out for my favorite sony SL73's. Navigation is simple to select folders and it remembers it's place when you shut it off. As someone else stated it only recognizes up to 999 titles and then gives an error and also wont add playlists from wmp. Since neither of these is an issue for me I'm not bothered. Frankly I like the fact that I can just drag and drop files and have the player play them. I don't like using wmp or itunes or any other software. I prefer to rip my own mp3's with a no bones ripper and just drag and drop via windows explorer. Windows recognizes the device right away. The backlight is a nice soft orange and is adjustable as with just about every function. You can format the device or delete songs directly on the unit from the display menu (no computer needed). The construction is a bit light and I could see the usb door breaking off in the future and the buttons not working if you are heavy handed and really mash them in. Then again it's not flimsy and I don't have issues with this. I still have my first mp3 player from 2002 by creative with a whopping 64mb of space in perfect condition and use it at least 5 times a week. I'd highly recommend this player if you want something simple, small, takes a battery, and sells for a fair price $99 . Thank you panasonic for yet another quality product!
If you're looking for a MP3 player that is verbose, compact, generous on storage and easy on the wallet look no father!.......2007-05-11
I recently purchased this device (the white and silver one) from a local Wal-Mart (for about $84.00). I researched various MP3 players under $200. The IPOD cannot even compare to this dream player.
* Size - It is small (About as long as a tube of lipstick) It's perfect to take along while walking running or working out [That was mine's intended use :-)].
* Resources - Runs off of 1 AA battery for up to 80 hrs (this is of course under the default factory settings. However, I have had mine since march and have not had to change the battery and I and still getting excellent playback!)
* Options - This pocket player is packed with power.
Boasting 2 Gigs worth of flash memory it can store aprox 500 MP3's depending on file size. It will also store other file types in a different folder.
It interfaces seamlessly with Windows XP. There is not a bundle of software to complicate things (Like I tunes or it's counterparts). Just plug it in to your pc's USB port (with the included adapter) and it will auto recognize and show up under 'My Computer' as another removable storage device. From there you can just copy and paste your MP3's from your pc to your device, or create folders on your device directly from windows to keep music organized. Though a little hard to access from the device it's self you are able to use the folders as play lists.
You also have the ability to remix, repeat or randomize a specific play list or all music on the player.
So if you're looking for a MP3 player that is verbose, compact, generous on storage and easy on the wallet look no father.

A fix for book 'readers'.......2007-04-27
I use my MP020 only for 'reading' books. Another reviewer mentioned the slow scan issue. There is a solution for this. If you check online you can find free, audiobook slicers. These can slice up the file into smaller pieces, say 5-10 mins of sound. Then if you accidentally go back to the beginning, all you have to do is jump to the proper slice and you aren't spending 30 mins seaching into a 3 hour boo boo. (speaking from bitter experience)
incredibly great!.......2007-01-21
Panasonic SV-MP020 review:
This mp3/wma player is absolutely amazing! The sound is incredibly great! It even has a few eq settings as well as "surround" mode, which gives your music a noticeably wider range... also has something called "remastered" which is another way it tweaks your audio files to play them beyond the fullest extent of their high fidelity.
Something very important to me is a resume function, so when you are playing your music, stop your device, and later turn it back on, it remembers where it was. The Panasonic SV-MP020 does this to the note! I've been fooling around with disc mp3 players for the last couple years and you'd be very hard pressed to find one that does this, even on the ones that claim they do. Not only is this never a problem for the Panasonic, it reloads amazingly quick when you turn it back on, doesn't go reading... reading... reading... etc. due to being a flash player no doubt.
2GB I find more than adequate for my needs. I bought this for my new/used car which has a very nice stereo, but only cassette. I now simply plug the MP020 into a cassette adaptor and I can enjoy my mp2/wma music in my car with the high quality stereo it came with. (my car being blue, I just had to get the blue one, too!) So, I basically bought it for my car, BUT, I now also bring it to my office at work and it also comes in handy in many situations. For us old fashioned long play albums people, you get around 30 wma albums on it.
Loading this thing is very simple. You just plug it into your usb port with the SUPPLIED cable, and it shows up as a drive under My Computer. Then you simply drag and drop your music on the media folder on the drive. Although I don't use it, you can also easily sync it with Windows Media Player. It does arrange your music in the order you copy it to the device, so if you need things in a particular order, you want to keep this in mind. If you're into shuffling your music, the Panasonic also does this, and quite well (playing as a good variety mixture of your 2GB).
The display is very easy to read. The entire layout is very straightforward and logical. It did take me awhile to get used to knowing how to select my album, play it, and have the device keep playing the remainder of the library from that point. It just took a bit of practice, but it's just a matter of knowing how to do this.
If all of that wasn't enough, probably the best unique thing about this player is the power supply. I was never much one to "fool with batteries", but I didn't want to fool with too many wires in my car either. The MP020 runs on a NORMAL AA battery! And, yes, it's removable and replaceable, which I hear many mp3-type players are not, which is a major factor that kept me from buying one for so long. It's advertised on the package to last a whopping 80 HOURS and I haven't timed it, but after 2 weeks of daily use now, the battery icon hasn't indicated any usage so far at all! I think it will make it's 80 hours of playback time, and I've read on line other reviews that confirm this.
So, to summarize, it's blue, it's easy to use, it's a nice size gb wise and physical size (about the size of a cigarette lighter: again, older folks like me that used to smoke back in the day, instead of carrying a lighter, you can carry 30 albums in your pocket!) and it sounds FANTASTIC! I'm extremely impressed with the sound and everything about this product.
I read many reviews on line, including this site, to help me decided what mp3/wma player to get, and I hope this review helps you. If you like the features I do mentioned here, I can't recommend this player highly enough!

Customer Reviews:
Excellent on the outside!!! Bad on the inside!!!.......2007-06-21
This thing is huge and very heavy. FedEx was lucky I was in the house when they made the delivery, because for sure, the driver would have a sore back after carrying this fine piece of furniture. It took me I think a little over 2 hours to assemble this item. Everything was perfect when it comes to placing the screws, doors, hinges, etc. Seems like this was perfectly outlined and planned in the factory for consumers to assemble all the pieces together without any glitch. My goodness, when it all came together, it looked like it was made from solid wood. Fine piece of art.
Now for the negative. This is the deciding factor for consumers whether to get it for looks over funtion. When I placed my Pioneer Elite 84 in one of the racks, whoa, I cannot close the door and this piece lacks in depth. For those people with the new huge audio-video receivers,I would say measure them first before buying this piece of furniture. Heads up to all of you guys, depth is a little less than 18 inches.
So, what i did is cut the back thin wood portion to give way for the receivers connections (back of the receiver). Now, I can close it after making some modifications on the back side. Ok, the result after making some modification. If you place this furniture on a wall where people will not see the back side from the sides, you are good. But if the back portion can be seen wherein wire connections are noticeable, you may see a little part of the back portion of the receiver hanging out because of the cutout I made so I can push back the receiver further so I can close the door.
My verdict, I gave this only 3 stars since the company failed to consider the depth of big and huge audio-video equipment. Did I make a bad decision for buying this product, my answer is no. For the price of it, I think I am alright though making some modification. This is a case to case basis for audiophiles wanting all their equipment flawless. For some, this is a good buy, but for others, it may be a pain.
NOW, YOU DECIDE!!!
Pleased with our new, elegant TV stand.......2007-01-15
We just purchased this TV stand (somewhere else) and LOVE it! We were concerned that our DVD player and speakers may not fit into the unit but to our surprise everything fit perfectly and we still have plenty of room for DVDs. Our 42" flat screen looks great and we have lots of room on the sides which is what I wanted. I was worried that it would make the TV look small but it does not. The middle door has a screen over it instead of glass which would be great for speakers. One thing I love here is that they make this part sort of optional and the screen can be removed and another piece of glass (not included) can be placed there instead to match with the other two side doors.
It was quite heavy and bringing the box up to our 3rd floor apartment was interesting. When I first looked at the assembly directions it felt like a daunting task but after organizing all the parts and making a game plan it wasn't that bad. It took us about two hours to put together. The parts are made of a very thick and heavy weight particle board with thin wood paneling on top making it look almost like solid wood with slight grains and knots. The fact that it is not solid wood is what is keeping the cost down (sort of). Though I would have preferred solid wood construction, this is the next best thing. This stand has weight and looks like it is solid. We are very pleased with the end result,
this is a very elegant and beautiful piece of furniture!
