Hi. Well, where do I begin. I think I'm very spoiled because I have a 20gig Creative Zen touch mp3 player. This player is magnificent when it comes to sound quality but I'm not able to use it because I can't find the Win7 drivers for the player so I can load it with music. I think it is designed for XP users only. Giving I can't use it I was hoping the DM5 would have good sound reproduction and although it is reasonable at a push, it doesn't compare to the Zen Touch. My disappointment was compounded when I compared it with my mobile phone player which is superior to the DM5 in sound quality. The DM5 spoken menus are inadequate. It tells you the track name but you get very little info of how many tracks you have on the player. For example if I decide to play music by selecting artist then it doesn't give me the number of tracks in any particular artists folder and also when I arrow up and down the list, the reaction time is very slow and that is with speeding up the voice guidance. I'm inclined to just use my mobile for music listening unless I can get a better player that will give me very high quality sound reproduction. Oh, nearly forgot, I have to increase the volume to nearly full to get a good level of volume, it seems the DM5 output signal is a low one. It would seem to me that the player is truly meant as a portable recorder and the music player function is an afterthought. This player has never really been used, I'm just getting to grips with it. I bought it a couple of years ago and it has lay in an equipment box ever since and not been touched but maybe I'll consider selling it. Walter.
