Barbie Girls MP3 Player - Pink

I had one of these when i was little, but i lost it so i decided to rebuy it. I question if it's actually new because the back cover of the mp3 was a bit dirty. Anyways, I forgot how hard these are to use. I had to hold the mp3 a certain way to keep it connected to my laptop so i could put music on it. I guess i understand how expensive it is because it is technically a collector item now since they don't make them anymore. i wish they'd bring it back.

After reading some pretty decent reviews on this web site, I bought this for my 6 yr old daughter for xmas. I have to say I am totally impressed with this product, which is surprising since most Barbie products are junk. It was very easy to install the software and load music. We just ripped all of my daughter's cd's to my computer and it was easy to load from there. We have no itunes music so this was not an issue for us.The quality of the sound is excellent and the headphones come with different size ear plugs to fit different size ears. The smallest size fits my daughter perfectly.I had bought the Sansa Shaker for my 4 yr old daughter but ended up returning that and buying the Barbie for her instead. The Sansa only takes mp3's and all of our music is WMA which the Barbie MP3 supports.It is very similar in "controls" to the ipod Shuffle but a lot more stylish. I would highly recommend!

I purchased this for my little girl who is turning 5 in September. She loves the Barbie stuff, so I know she will enjoy her Barbie MP3 player. I have not given it to her yet, but I did set it up and downloaded the software to the computer. While I was very disappointed that I could not transfer her/our music on I-Tunes to this MP3 player (wished someone could give me a good reason as to why they didn't make it compatible), I found some great Barbie and Disney music on her CDs, transfered them to Windows Media Player, and then it as a simple download to her Barbie MP3. I listened to it, and it sounds great for a $20 MP3 player! So, with that said, I would highly recommend this product. I"m not sure if we will get any use out of the other fun stuff that comes with it, but's we'll see come September 29th!

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas and almost 7 months later, it's still working well and a big hit with her! She tires easily of certain things so I was surprised about that. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that might just get dropped or lost and originally this MP3 was $80+. I paid $50 at Walmart and then 2 weeks later, it dropped to $28.88 so I went back and got the difference since it was before Christmas and hadn't been opened. Such a sweet price for a toy that does a lot. I precharged it and downloaded all the High School Musical songs on it the night before Christmas so it was ready to go the next morning and that was a great thing to just open and be able to use it right away. Setup takes some time, but it's made very easy and transferring songs is also easy. We don't use itunes so I never had a complaint about noncompatibility with that, but I was able to transfer music from Windows Media Player on my pc that we already had and then I purchased some additional tracks from [...] and they all worked beautifully. Now, when we buy a new CD, we just rip it right to our PC first so we have a copy and then we transfer to the Barbie Girl.I like that it's a small item, but pretty durable. It's not complicated to use and doesn't have menus and screens that can just get broken and dirty. My daughter did complain once that she had to scroll through all the songs to find the one she wanted, but even with 50+ songs on there, it doesn't take long so she was ok with it. The earbuds didn't fit at the beginning so we just plugged in regular headphones and now she is bigger and the earphones work fine.She loved the dressing up part where you can clip on the different accessories, although they are sometimes a bit tough to get off so a parent's help might be needed. I also love that you can just put on the plain pink case cover too if your daughter doesn't want it to look like a barbie or is getting too old for that. This MP3 player will grow with my daughter I think and last awhile.And I can't say enough about the online community. I was nervous at first about letting her use the chat feature, but I make sure I'm right here within eye view and the canned responses they offer to the girls is wonderful! They are too young to type really fast anyway, so it's a good time saver. Barbie girl has now upgraded to a new virtual world where you can pay more and have more features. I wish they hadn't done that, it's expensive but I guess a cash cow is a cash cow. There are super cool features and games for kids on the regular version and they can do makeovers to each other, play games, earn points and buy things to decorate their rooms. Parents be aware that the regular online community does now offer Super B Chat which is an enhanced chat. The users can type in their own words now,but this must be approved by parents to be able to use it (which we haven't done).Teach your children proper online safety and to tell you if anything inappropriate happens. Overall, I think this is a good introduction to chat features and what is means to be responsible for yourself online. Can you tell I like this toy a lot? And at $20, we will be buying some of these as birthday gifts for friends so the girls can chat with each other online too.

I found this and was really impressed with everything I got for 12.99. My 13 year old son quickly figured it out for my 6 year old and had more music loaded in no time. I also love how the battery recharges. My older kids go through tons of batteries because their mp3 players, which cost a lot more needless to say, don't recharge the batteries when hooked up to download more music. I would venture to say someone was really thinking of all angles when it came to this product. We also got some of the extra 'accessories' to go with it. It's just too cute and simple, yet really awesome for my 6 year old. Definitely a great product including several areas of technology too.

This barbie girl player is great. Especially for beginners like me a busy mom of four. I bought two for my 6 and 8 year olds set them up christmas morning and we were rocking out in 15 minutes for both. It recharges right off my laptop... I bought a sansa shaker for my son and it has been a pain... We have gone through 4 batteries since christmas and i cant download cds. barbie girl you won my vote!!! My girls love the looks and I love how easy it is to use. thanks for mking it simple for me... I definitley recommend this product.

Bought this for my 5 year old, she understands it and loves being like her older siblings. Nice to be able to control her listening selections, unlike a radio set. I bought some of the changeable pieces to compliment it, but the pieces are too small and she doesn't do a decent job of keeping them together.The idea is spot on, my 7 yr liked it and it is technologically on track. I should just hold it for her until she becomes a bit more responsible. Easy to download songs onto. Price is reasonable.
