there is not an external speaker. headphones only unless you buy some of the small add on speakers. but be sure to read the reviews on them, some will only put out enough volume for one or two people to hear.

Sorry, no built-in speaker. Only headphones or you could plug in outboard speakers to the earphone jack.

I believe it was MP3 that it was supposed to be, however, the software needed for this device was no longer available from it's manufacturer. I had a device with no software to use it with. I attempted to find out from the seller, but was referred to the Xitel web site only to find that the company isn't around anymore and/or doesn't have any drivers for any devices they previously made. I felt like I bought an obsolete product that is no longer supported.

No speaker. The length of time your screen stays on, for media, is in your settings. Music will play without the screen being on.

I'm going to ask you one more question if you don't mind. If I just want the best player I can find to listen to music and don't care about lists, album art, interfaces or anything else. I just want to put my songs on the player and listen to them in the order they come up, which do you recommend? (Can you tell I'm an old lady and just love to listen to music? LOL!) All that matters to me is good sound, ease of putting songs on the player, number of songs I can add to the player and how long it will play music on one charge. Even the Cowan 160 GB player sounds interesting to me.

@ Wayne WareTo hold and make available through the GUI other/extra maps mostly.In the case of the 855(see Discussion heading) I use them for storing MP3's as the 855 has a built in player that will broadcast them over an FM radio channel.(edited reply)

No it does not come with the speaker, you can buy it standalone tho, it does have the hookup for it

No, speakers are not built into this unit. It also does not come with any external speakers. It DOES have a speaker connection and has good sound quality. You just have to buy the speakers separate if you don't have any already.

It has a built in speaker. However, other reviewers have complained about the fact that it has no volume control, and is loud. Personally I am not bothered. Volume control would be nice, but to err on the side of louder rather than quieter is sensible in my opinion. But in case you are bothered and don't mind using headphones, there is a 1/4" headphone jack for optional headphones.

Hi Larry - I am also looking for mp3 player for audiobooks from NetLibrary - Do you know if Sansa has bookmarking feature? How did you narrow your choices to Sansa? Thanks for your help. Willow

It has really, really, horrible onboard speakers. They are worse than the cheapest speakers you can plug into an mp3 player. I am not exaggerating. I think the only way to get it to play through better speakers would be to plug it into a receiver or TV. It is absolutely too cheap to bother trying to get it to play through good speakers; I ran it through my TV sound system and the sound was horrible. I beg of you, do not buy this! It is the absolute cheapest thing they could manufacture and still have it work. It is really toy-like. Save another 150 bucks and get something that works OK for around 250 or so.

In response to Rebecca King's statement: "the speakers are not great"I agree that NONE of the GPS units have great speakers (and I've looked at quite a few). So, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a $9 adaptor, which connects the output-jack of my Nuvi-350 directly to my car stereo.This is a MUST if you plan on using the nuvi's mp3 function and listening to music along the way. I've permanently wired mine so that it is a super easy connection and now I can hear all my mp3's (as well as Jill's navigation) through my car-speakers.Hope this is helpful to others...

How does the speaker sound? If you watch Hulu or Netflix, etc... are you able to listen at a reasonable level without the speaker distorting or do you need to use headphones or plugin external speakers?

Thanks again, Buddy. Do you recommend any other brand of player for Overdrive WMA books other than Sansa? I am quite happy with Sansa but my favorite model is becoming scarce and therefore few bargains, especially since I need several. Thanks, again!

Luke, If you still need one, I have uploaded a User's Guide / Manual for this MP3 player. It's included at the end of my review. Rick S.
