Title: Really a 4.5 - Great player!
Product review: The Compaq ipaq pa-1 is great. I researched many players before I decided on this one. I actually bought a Rio 600 first but returned it because it didn't hold much music. The Compaq holds over 100 minutes in .wma format on the two 32mb cards. The download speed isn't really that slow - it's a lot faster than burning a CD - only takes a few minutes. I also don't have the same problem with batteries as the other reviewers - I use the Duracell Ultra from a warehouse club and get about 10 hours on each set of 2. The size is great - we took it to Europe this summer and used it while traveling for 5 weeks - the player is small, lightweight and has great sound. Now I use it daily at work. I did replace the headphones... The only thing missing is a radio tuner. Overall this is a great player. Highly recommended.
