The first one I have ever had for my long summer walks. I downloaded over 2000 songs so far from Amazon Music. A very eclectic playlist trying to stay away from the hits which they play over and over on Boom and Q. Thanks to the youtube videos for the help. It also says the battery can last for up to 40 hours. I have seen no evidence of this so far (about six hours). No AM which I will miss more than FM. A sample of some of the songs downloaded which you will never hear on Toronto radio:
Understanding - Bob Seger
Paper Sun - Traffic
Boat On The Water - Styx
Fountain of Sorrow - Jackson Browne
Night Owl - Gerry Rafferty
I could go on

For the price, these are a fairly good deal and I can imagine the audio quality is fairly decent. I have read though that battery life is shorter than “advertised “, as you pointed out, cash! Still, you avoid clogging up your phone.

I just gave it a good three hour workout. Nice to not to have to listen to the same 300 songs over and over. The battery power is up to 10 hours. Worth the $80.00.

Is "SWOFY" an acronym of some sort?

This video addresses the often weird Amazon vendor names.
