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: You get your money back if you keep your receipt safe Disadvantages: The main disadvantage is the Binatone X350!
...I brought the Binatone X350 from Asda for £50 on the 5th April 2009. I opened the box in the car park and thought I'd test it out. Anyway, first impressions we're it looked good for £50, after all you get what you pay for and obviously I hadn't purchased a £350+ Sat Nav. I plugged the charger in, set my postcode (after much fiddling) and off I went. As you'll know everybody gets familiar with the area they live and what roads run quicker, what short cuts work best and so on, but, I wasn't prepared to be sent miles out my way (not the quickest or the shortest route home). I even stopped half way to make sure I had typed my postcode in correctly (I had). When I got back home I checked the same route on Google maps which sent me the same way as I normally go (for the exception of two roads, which I use to cut out a set of traffic lights...

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...
