Shocked this thing actually works so well!
I have an S23 Ultra that is way too big and heavy for keeping in my pocket at the gym.I've spent a good bit of time weighing my options for a portable player that supports Spotify and has bluetooth and wifi.I've thought about smart watches, refurbished iPods, "dumb" mp3 players (maybe I can live without Spotify?). And of course, the many Chinese sub-$100 dollar devices, that all seem to have either 5 or 1 stars.I was clearly in analysis-paralysis mode, and decided to just take a flyer on this one. For $63, and hopefully returnable, what's the worst that can happen?Well, I'm glad I gambled. This thing is perfect. Form factor that's small enough to barely notice, even in my pocket on the treadmill. I was able to easily get on various wifis, connect to my bluetooth headphones, and stream my Spotify. Battery life seems OK - it can definitely go for many hours between charges. It gets a little hot when navigating with the screen on, but it's fine streaming music with the screen off.Yes, the interface is a little unusual. But I was able to learn it quickly enough. Yes, it's a little sluggish just navigating around the UI. But not too bad, and I've had no issues streaming playlists.The device is locked to just the apps listed in the specs (and apparently no option to side load). You can organize your home screen just like on any smartphone. You can delete apps, but if you realize you want an app back you'll need to factory reset.On the security front, I am a little sketched out that this device manages its own updates, and who knows what Android security is or isn't there. But because I'm just using it stream music, I'm choosing to ignore possible attack vectors by just making sure my passwords are unique to my streaming app and not shared with any other accounts. I won't be using the included Chrome browser for anything. There's also some kind of music filesharing app that you can install on your phone to share files with this device - I'll be staying away from that as well. All of that said, I want to be clear that I am not suggesting there's anything insecure with this particular device. But in today's world, you need to be extremely careful.Lastly, the included paper manual is surprisingly thorough and is written in good English. I recommend reading the manual before starting to play with the device; it's the rare case where reading the manual would have actually saved me an hour of poking around. I was not expecting this from such a cheap, practically throw-away device produced in China. I hope more companies start providing proper manuals like this one.I just started using this device so I'm leaving 5 stars for now. In case I start having glitches I'll come back and edit my review. I don't expect this thing to last many years, because who knows what becomes unsupported in some future software update or bluetooth/wifi spec change. But if I get even a year out of this, I'll be pretty happy.EDIT: I've run into a problem that a bunch of others have commented on, in that the device seems to brick itself after being fully discharged. I've had this happen too, and found the solution is to use a lower amp charger. I have a fast charger for my phone, which seems to work fine for regularly charging this MP3 player. But when it's fully discharged I find the fast charger no longer works. So I simply use one of my slower chargers and after a few minutes it has enough charge to turn on.

NOT what I was expecting.
I am sure that this is a really great streaming device, assuming that you are using it as a stationary one. Using it as a mobile one would be an issue, unless you have wifi all the way to where you are going. WHY would you even want a streaming device that only has wifi? The problem is the fact that you cannot install apps on this device. At all. There is no play store, and you cant even side load apk's, nothing. I am a huge fan of VLC Media Player, and my own mp3's its a no-go for this thing. Down in the description it says "It only allows for pre-saved apps, which for you is a fantastic safety element for young children", that is a cop out if I have ever heard one. Sounds allot like making a virtue of necessity. Battery life is also suspect. I fully charged it for several hours, then transferred two VLC apk's to try and install them (it failed of course), and in less than 10 minutes it was at 80% battery. The compact form factor I like, and the buttons are nice also. I do not like that you cant wake up the screen by tapping it, though to be fair you may be able to change a setting if you can figure out how, or actually find "settings", I could not. If anyone is wondering, rooting this device has been tried (not by me), and failed, as well as other solutions (also not by me) and also failed. It may be useful for you, but not for me, returned.

Great MP3 Player! Yes, you can play all the songs in a subfolder (album)
Great MP3 Player! I bought it mainly to play music via Bluetooth speakers. This is how to play all the songs in a subfolder (e.g., an album of songs).Connect the MP3 player to your computer using the USB cord (provided). Locate the Player in your computer’s File Explorer > This PC > “G1”> Internal shared storage > Music folder. Copy & paste or drag music folders from your computer to the MP3 player's Music folder. Then…To play music from a subfolder:• Tap on the Music icon. This opens the Hiby app• The first time ONLY, that you open Hiby, you have to keep left-swiping on the page till you get to the final page, with the face icon at the top left• Click on Folder > Internal Storage (or External Storage, depending on the folder’s location) > Music• Click on the folder you want > Click on the song you want; if you click on the first song, it will play all the songs in the folder, then stop.To see your list of all songs (that you can sort by name, size, date, type):• Tap on the File Manager app• Scroll to the song you want > tap the song to play it

Updated -
***Edit - After my original review the coolant reached out with suggestions to remedy the issue. They even offered to send a replacement if we couldn't fix it with their suggestions. Great customer service & their suggestions worked so my daughter's music player is now back working as it should.***Bought for my daughter for Christmas, it worked great for 2 days & now won't charge. Don't waste your money. Wishing I hadn't purchased this.
