Seems Excellent for Audio MP3--Not Radio'/Video
Researched this item before purchasing, looking at reviews and the on-line manual, so I knew that several of the features listed on this site are incorrect. It's just an MP3 player, and that was what I was looking for. I had a little trouble setting it up. I received an error message that the downloaded software was not recognized by Windows 10 (no direct link to the Philip's site). A web address for Philips was written on the "Quick Start" page that came with the player. I charged the SoundDot through the USB port. The green power indicator light did not stay on, but it turned out that it was charged. There were three sample country songs that I had to get rid of by reformatting, because these songs were not listed as MP3s. I tried to replace the removed formatting using the "repair" feature listed on the menu of the Philips music player program that was downloaded with the drivers. Since the repair option didn't function, I then had to return to the Philip's site, to create an account and register the player. I was then allowed to obtain another copy of the player's software. I used reading glasses so I could read and enter the full number that was listed in faint blue, in minute print on the page sent with the player, to register it. After loading the new copy of the software and drivers (I had to agree to get rid of what was left of the old), the player worked sans the Country Music. An E-Bay review had said I'd need different headphones. I verified that the headphones are inadequate, but that didn't surprise me for the price. With better headphones the sound is excellent. If it stays working (I just bought it), it seems a great deal.

For Kids of All Ages Starting Out.
This is for kids and has a few simple rhythms, and that's all that this ol' boy needed. I bought the book used, without one of the CDs, and I was able to figure out the notation. It is simpler than reading instrumental music. It's a short book and the CDs aren't really needed, just practice.

Medium weight support for back.
I liked the mesh sides because it looked cooler and comfortable when I bought it. I only wear it when I need extra support. It gives me another hour of comfortable support. My back problem isn't too bad and this is the right amount of support. I'd recommend something stiffer for a more severe problem, but it's good for lightweight support related to the nerve in the back (I think).
