Insignia Sport is junk

I think Pat mentioned a new Insignia Sport on the last show. I had one, and it locked up twice in 2 months. There is no way to reset it, so it is rendered useless. Besides, it comes with a free trial to Audible.com, which has a locked format for their audiobooks.

No, it was I who mentioned it. I have had no problems with mine. Did you try taking it back and getting a refund? When it locks up, can you not just turn it off or even that, remove the battery?
A lot of players are coming with these hooks to audible and rhapsody these days. I don't use the services but I can see how they would be a turn off to some people when they are integrated into the device.

When it locked up, there was no way to reset it, and no way to remove the battery.
After the second time, I exchanged it for a Sony Walkman A815. It doesn't support ogg, but I like that it automounts in Gutsy. Also, it never locks up, but has a reset button just in case.
