I'm looking for any input at all about AGPTek mp3 players, especially their reliability. I see some here have them, but I thought I'd start a new thread.

Swimming season is on the horizon and my trusty waterproof mp3 player by Aerb has now got me through five summers and I was thinking it's time to have a backup on hand. (I also have no clue at all regarding how long I can expect it to last between charges and while I don't mind charging it every day if necessary, I do want it to last long enough for a long swim plus the hike through the woods when I go to the lake.) Alas, the latest iteration Aerb seems to be no longer available. I know they weren't the most highly reviewed waterproof players out there, but I had no complaints at all.

So AGPTek seems to have the cheapest current option with decent reviews. Should I have any concerns? I'll also consider other recommendations, but I don't want to spend too much. While Audible compatibility would be nice, it's not necessary; I got along fine with Downpour and OverDrive as the sources for my Aerb.
