Advantages: Cheap and Function Packed Disadvantages: None As Yet
...In order to satisfy my technological needs and not having had a product to review in this genre for nearly 6 months now I thought I had better purchase something…well that’s one of the excuses anyway. With an impending move ahead of me back to my hometown Norwich from Leeds, I decided to leave my old single region DVD player, despite its smart style, with my girlfriend who didn’t own one. Scouring the Internet revealed a possible successor: the Yakumo DVD Master XL2. Amazon seemed to stock these little beauties at £35…. yes that’s right £35!!! Now I had Amazon vouchers to the value of £20 and was almost stupefied that I could get this delivered for a sum total of £15 with Amazon’s Supersaver delivery… not bad but there had to be a catch, didn’t there? Surely £35 meant that I was buying a budget item that either wouldn’t work properly...

Advantages: Small, looks good, light, cool, FM radio, voice recorder Disadvantages: Slow navigation and general responsivness
...The Creative Zen Stone Plus is the 2Gb upgrade of the basic Stone, and as well as the extra 1Gb of space it has a small LED screen for viewing track information and navigating content, a voice recorder, and FM radio.
As a cheap, small, easily portable MP3 player with a large enough memory to stop me from listening to the same songs every 5 minutes this serves it's purpose very well.
Pros:
- it looks cool;
- it holds around 500 tracks depending on their size;
- it's tiny;
- sound quality and volume are good (even with the radio)
- software allows for easy drag-and-drop quick uploads (although once you upload from one folder you can't upload more tracks or browse any until the upload is finished)
Cons:
- you need to download the software from the internet, so if you don't have a connection you have to risk using windows...

Advantages: Great sound, easy controlls, looks great! Disadvantages: small screen to watch video's on.
...This Creative Zen V Plus is a stylish little mp3 player that is very handy and looks very nice. With the 1GB version you can fit about 1000 songs on there and you can also store some video files and watch them (providing they are the correct format).
The controll system mainly consists of a play/pause button, a stop button and a stick that allows you to controll left,right,up,down and select. Also there is an on off button on the side and a volume controll on the other side. The controlls on this mp3 are very neat and are extreamly easy to use.
In the menu you have options for music, video, picture, settings, now playing and a extras menu. In music you can select to browse by artist, album or just have a list of all the songs. You can have multiple play modes consisting of shuffle, play all, repeat, repeat all. There is a cool...
