Music MP3

Ematic 2GB Color MP3 Video Player with 1.5-Inch Screen, FM Radio and Voice Recording (Blue)
$34.99
This MP3 player is incredible. I bought it and was very pleased with the features it contained. The radio receives pretty good reception and it's pretty easy to download music into the MP3 player itself. It comes in a variety of colors but blue's my fave. Arrived pretty fast so the wait was pretty short. I haven't had any problems with it freezing up like some have said but maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. Not bad for the price.

Tru Thoughts World Music MP3 Sampler
$0.00
This is flesh and blood music. Real musicians performing real butt shaking beats. I would call this world funk. For the most part, this stuff is played with acoustic drum kits and unplugged guitars, with only smattering of electronics. Plus the music is punctuated with the right touch of horns. The groove is up and the mood is higher. Try sitting still...you can't!

Playskool Made For Me MP3 Music Player - Orange
$89.99
I have read the other reviews and am sorry to hear a few got defects. My daughter got this as a gift at about 4 or 5 months old, has used it every day since (she is now almost 2 1/2). She has dropped it a few times on a hard wood floor, no problems. We ecided it was better left in her crib. She won't go to sleep without it so I keep extra AAA batteries at all times.

Parents My Mp3 Classical Music MP3 Player
$19.99
I first bought this toy at Target for about $20.00, 2 years ago when I was pregnant. I gave it to my daughter around 8 months and she loved it! It was her favorite thing to hold, though she could not do much with it except push the buttons. We all loved the real music. It took a lot of beating (dropping from the stroller, thrown from the stroller...). Only when, sadly, it was dropped in a swimming pool did it of course then stop working.

After that, it seems like I either cannot find this anywhere or it is priced very, very high. I finally found one at Amazon for 19.99 (some were as high as fifty!) from a different vendor than this one, and ordered it. My daughter was so excited when she saw it (now 18 months old) but when we opened the package the lights would come on but the music would not play, and it seemed rattle-y. So I have returned it. I do not see that vendor now, so maybe they dropped the item or the vendor.

Now I am going to order this one, even though it seems overpriced, because my daughter loves this toy so much; but I am still confused by the price raise. Is that normal inflation? There have been no changes to the toy that I can tell.

All that said, I still give the toy 4 stars because the first one was very durable and because my child really does love it. And for that I will buy it again.
