How's the sound quality?

Does this come with music preloaded?

Here's an example Amazon page for it. $44.98 seems to be the standard price regardless of skin.

Here is the product webpage

here's the product website

can these be used as drives for data much like the ipod?

Amazon prices are all over the place and Woot! is the cheapest!

All the specs (PDF).

are they mac compatible?

well when I think sound quality, by god I think Disney!

Don't these things belong in a landfill somewhere along with all those Atari Pacman games?

How good is the sound?

these can be used to read sd cards if you dont have a card reader

did we decide whether they're preloaded with music by the artist matching the skin?

The earphones look like they might be the most valuable part of this. They look like they might be a step up from the usually poor quality earbuds that typically come with cheap mp3 players.

Or not.

These are really good Mp3 players. Miles better than the iPod Shuffle. They play WMA & Mp3, They are drag & drop (into the player or onto the card), they use batteries that you can get anywhere rather than having to charge via USB, and they use standard earphones. For 1/7th the price!

Edit: I stand corrected...repeatedly. This unit does require USB recharge. I am familiar with the Disney Mix Micro, which uses a battery.

Sorry for the poor quality post...

the earphones look decent, especially at this price... anyone think that this would be worth it just for them?

Quick question, does anybody know if woot! is cool enough to combine shipping for orders placed on woot! and woot.kids, provided the orders are placed the same night/day? If so, I'm so going toys for tots on both websites, pronto.

How fast would their data transfer transfer speeds be? My guess is slow

BRB, I'm going to head over to kids.woot to see if I can pick up a TV.

will it work with linux?

are the "neato" graphics a sticker or molded plastic? stickers can be peeled off to make these cancellation disney players into "hardcore" mp3 listening devices for those that dont agree with the "quality" programming disney provides. =]

Battery recharges over a USB cord! You don't need to BUY batteries for this.

I'm going to wager that the plain aluminium ones sell out first. The rest of them are @$$ ugly, unless you're 13 and female.

First they bought Marvel and now they've taken over Woot? Most Items this week are Disney themed... Conspiracy?

"Up to 8-hour playback with built-in rechargeable battery (recharges via USB port)"

With themes like Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers, these would make for great gag gifts. :P

I would think so. Probably be seen as just another storage device.

Just cause I feel like it.

Will it work with Windows 7?

Since I know my Ipod had problems working with vista when it 1st came out. Makes me wonder if other mp3 players have problems with new operating systems.

You mean the atari game ET

True and you could get wine to work with it if you had a hour to burn...

here is a cnet review http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/disney-electronics-mix-stick/4505-6490_7-31563791.html

This page states that these are mac comapatible for those that are interested,, http://www.macworld.com/article/47186/2005/09/mixstick.html

I think these are really nice -- a great treat for the kids at the holidays for a nice Woot! price. Thanks, Woot.

Couldn't resist. In for three! Great stocking stuffers for two of us, and for the third, totally needs new headphones for the fancy more than $7 ipod. Woo hoo!

I wish they had more colors/designs for boys...I had to get the aluminium for my son....but got a pink HM for my 8 yo niece.

I am buying a Hannah Montana one for my boyfriend. He has been wanting a mp3 player for Christmas and we have a running joke that his favorite song is Miley Cyrus "The Climb".

Will be a wonderful gag gift!
