5 out of 5 stars Goes well with Disney's products   August 1, 2007

My son can charge it and listen to or watch his videos at the same time. Great idea.


5 out of 5 stars Very Pleased!! Cute & Effective Little Device!   November 30, 2006

Works great for the money. I got the unit on sale for under $25 so it was well worth it. The Decorative lights that adorn the speaker station which light up randomly in different colors give it some nice flash and pizzaz! Recharge and listen to your tunes thru the unit's 30mm full-range drivers! Also has a convenient 75mm stereo cable for connecting other
digital audio devices, including MP3 players. They even provide the cable for this! A real nice buy if you can find one for under $25!!



1 out of 5 stars Has never worked   September 19, 2006

I bought this for my 5yo, hoping to win back my own mp3. The mix stick worked great for awhile, but it, too has cut out (purchased in July, quit by Sept). The jam stand has never worked- same problem as noted by other reviews. My husband got it to play for a few minutes one night, that's it. This is such a great idea, hope Disney will try again and get it right.


1 out of 5 stars Good Idea but not worth the price   August 21, 2006

I love the MP3 player but Disney really went awry with the speaker system. It is definitely of low quality, hard to use and really bad sound quality. It sounds better when played very low but what kid wants to play music on low sound. It gets screechy and grainy sounding once turned up. Parents certainly won't appreciate that! I would definitely search for a better speaker system that this could work with! Also, you have to push the player pretty hard to get it into the speaker system. I see the potential for kids to break the USB port off when trying to get it in there. The only neet thing about this player is the colorful light show that displays as the music plays.


2 out of 5 stars Not Easy to Use   August 16, 2006

I bought a Disney Mix Stick and Jam Stand for my son. While the Mix Stick is fairly easy to use, I had a hard time with the Jam Stand. It would work for a few seconds, and then the speakers would turn off. After some experimentation, I came up with several tips and techniques to get it to work more reliably:

1.) Don't take the cover off of the Mix Stick - just plug the Mix Stick headphone jack into the Jam Stand, without exposing or plugging in the USB port

2.) If you want to recharge it, make sure the Mix Stick is turned off; then take off the cover and plug it into the Jam Stand (both the headphone jack and the USB port). After that, turn the Mix Stick on; Wait a few seconds and then press the "Play" button; Wait a few more seconds, then turn up the sound on the Mix Stick itself until the speakers and lights on the Jam Stand kick on. If they don't, make sure the volume control on the top of the Jam Stand is also turned up.

Note that this is awfully difficult to use for a product that is intended for children.

Be advised that this is more of a "toy" than a serious speaker system. The sound is not all that good and the volume doesn't get very high (though it is certainly loud enough to fill a small room, and it may be good for the kids that it doesn't get too loud).

Overall, I'm disappointed in this product. I really expected my son to love it, but he was quickly frustrated and lost interest.
