Doesn't seem to be holding charge (and I do turn it off when not in use). Also, playing music thru the FM feature worked twice - now when I press on the FM button, it turns the whole unit off. Do I need to reset using the pin hole I see on the side?

i am sorry to hear that, but as for my unit, i charge for 1 night and use when ever i am in the car it for four days and is working perfect . Have not been charging since than roughly 1hr per day .i listen to music from my phone using FM . As for the FM button i realise that i have to press five times continuous than it will be activated. trust me this matter works. Hope this will help you.

I'm having the same problem. All of the controls work with the music player, I've held down the FFwd button and turned up the phone, but still no sound. I just got it today, so I'm hoping it just needs more charge. It's a nice, rubbery texture. I'm thinking the only satisfaction I'm going to get out of it is watching it bounce really high when I kick it to the curb.

When you first cut it on it will say music, press the big middle button and it will change. Pay attention to the settings so you will get the fm setting. Hope this helps

It plays music for sure but mine is out of juice as we speak and now hooked up to my puter but perhaps I have skipped something. Seems like it ought to charge and maybe mine was turned off after playing.I'm not mych help, I guess.

sorry for the late response....I just tried mine and the music is kinda skipping whilst the colour changes. So, Im guessing that it does not play while it is charging.

This is not a definitive answer, but I started charging it, then tried to play a song, and got nothing until I turned the speaker on. Then the alternating red and blue lights that signify a charge is in progress stopped and just the blue flashed, as it does when you are playing. So my answer is no, but I would get a second opinion.

Well I had mine shut off for two days. when I fired it up last night it started playing back the song right in the middle where it was when I had turned it off. It always starts playback where I left off and I have owned it for a week.

Thanks for your response Mr. Holder. I did return mine and the replacement unit works great. I'm not sure if I plugged the first one into a separate power source so it may have been my fault it didn't work. I wish it came with clearer instructions. I may have thought it ran off the power of the stereo or zune.

Have you upgraded to the latest firmware Karen? The new firmware manages the battery much better. Also, for the first few usages, the battery will not yet utilise its full potential. Make sure you empty it fully before charging it. After a few usages, you will get its optimum performance. If you continuously use it, you should easily get about 12hours of music. But if you turn on and off occasionally, it will draw the battery faster. Also, remember that the wireless is always using the battery too. Turn it off for more listening time :) I hope that helps.

You got to be smarter than your equipment your using.. Just kidding I have the same problem trying to get the FM radio to work on it, Bad design but cheap price so you got to expect that. I would reccomend buying a IPOD lol

That sounds like a defect in the unit. Mine stays on about 5 seconds, then turns off. There isn't a button that I know of to be able to turn it off. I'd write to the seller and ask for a replacement. That isn't normal.

I'm going to try this...letting it die so it will turn off, if it's not off already, then charging it up, and see if I can get it on. If I can't, I'm just going to send it back and either get another one, or I'm going to have the money refunded so I can get something different.

I think I may keep it. I want to keep it anyway. I downloaded the newest firmware update which is supposed to deal with some of the issues with alarm presets and lost wifi connections so hopefully this will work. The battery pack finally was just made available on the logitech web site and I really like the idea of being able to use the radio anywhere for up to 6 hours with the rechargeable battery. I just ordered the battery pack so I will just try to wait it out to see if there are any more problems with the radio.

No, it is not common. Sounds like you may have gotten a lemon. The volume button is small, so make sure that you are pressing the top half only. Otherwise, exchange it for one that works properly. It is still one of the best MP3 players on the market.

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

Mine is still working perfectly, so is my daughter's. It's been almost two years for the first one, it gets used nightly, sometimes for stretches of more than a couple of days since we don't always turn it off. (We kind of like the sound all the time). The second one is just used nightly. There has been a couple of times that the first unit did not respond, but there is a re-set button inside the battery compartment that you can access with a pin. I can't help but to wonder if *some* of the people who said theirs did not work did not push the re-set button? Not sure. Anyway, our two units are still going strong and we use them all the time, even taking them with us on vacations. Mine is still working perfectly, so is my daughter's.

If the player normally powers up, just unplug it for about a minute and then plug it back in. If it hasn't powered up, it's got a serious problem and needs to be looked at. I've got 2 of these and I do have "issues" with them every once in a while but it's always been solved by unplugging the unit for awhile.
