why isn't anyone selling this MP3 player? Seems like it's only available from iRiver and one internet store. Why?

I second Mr. Holdsworth's opinion. JoWoW is very good. Clean packaging and efficient shipping.

I got mine at iRiver for $200 US. Shipping is about $11. That's a good deal.

Because it's still very very new, and mostly has just been marketed in Asia.I just purchased one from the JoWoW seller through amazon, and it's great. It got here in only a few days via expedited shipping. Very impressive.

This is much cheaper directly from MONOPRICE (brand new) but currently out of stock. Anybody know where else to buy it? I'm at bweissrebates@yahoo.com. THANK YOU

My computer (WIN 7) couldn't see this thing either. I don't think this MP3 player has any internal memory, which is why it doesn't show up under external drives. I uploaded music to a microSD, then inserted it into the MP3 player, and it worked fine. However, my overall feeling is that this MP3 player is a complete POS

Yeah, I've seen it as well. When the MP141 is sold out the Amazon site redirects you to the other Bluetooth speaker. Just wait and keep checking, the MP141 will be available again soon - it is worth waiting for!

A really good MP3 player that I have come across is the SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 player. It is a little more expensive than most (I think new it's about $149.99, may be cheaper), however it lasted me about 7 years. It probably would have lasted me longer, except a friend borrowed it and left it in the rain. It is a pretty high quality player. Now on to the itunes issue. Itunes has basically made it so that you can't download music from them onto something that isn't apple, except a desktop computer. I received an itunes gift card once and did not own anything by apple. I downloaded itunes onto my computer easily and then bought a few songs. I did a lot of research and tried and tried to sinc the music onto my MP3 player, but nothing was working. Finally, I tried to download my songs onto a disc, which worked. Then I proceeded to upload that disc onto a different media player (Windows Media Player) on my computer that allowed me to download songs onto my MP3 player. All in all it was a very frustrating and difficult process. If you want to avoid the frustration of having to deal with itunes, I would just get an apple ipod, ipod touch, or something that apple allows itunes to download to. If you really want an MP3 player I would recommend the one I highlighted above.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

I got mine today. All I can get is a white screen. I am downloading the mp3 player recovery tool on creative's website right now. But I am thinking mine will have to go back.EDIT-- Creative's recovery tool didn't help. Nothing helps. Looks like this thing is going back to Amazon. I will see if I can get my money back.

We do not have anything listed for sale and do not know what you are talking about. Is this item listed with our email address?...update: evidently we purchased this in 2011 and we are old and don't know anything about it. You should contact Yamah as we are running it off of stereo and we don't use it that way and have no idea. Sorry we can help you. :)

Even the Creative web site doesn't have it yet, they only sell it on preorder. If it's not even on the manufacturer's website, then nobody will have it. It may come out a bit sooner there. Seems like it would be pretty stupid of Creative if they didn't put this out in good time for purchase and delivery by Christmas, that's what I'm counting on (crosses fingers). If it doesn't come out by then I may just break down and get the 8 gb version, even though this is the one I really want! Argh!

I can't figure that out either! It would have been nice that they would include some instructions, huh? I think that part of the problem is that my computer is not compatible with this brand of MP3 player, so when I connect it up, nothing happens. :/ I haven't sent it back to Amazon, yet, though because it is always a pain to return stuff and I'm stubborn and still believe there's a way to get this thing to work! :)

I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

I just noticed that Wallycom is no longer offering the 3576 online. It is not just "out of stock online", it is now "not sold online". May the price gouging continue.

I got mine when i ordered for one. I wrote a review to tell the whole world that this mp3 player is a piece of junk. If only it's worth sending back to China, i will do it.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

It's a horrible mp3 player. My recommendation is to get rid of it and just purchase a different brand mp3 player that works correctly. That's what I did with mine.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.
