I received this MP3 player for christmas, and I have to say I think it is fabulous. It is very compact and so easy to use.

Contained in the box is your player, USB cable for downloading, software to manage your library, battery charger, carrying case, ear phones and even adapters for Europe and America for the charger.

The menu is so simple to use, you can search by artist, album, track, year or even genre of music or simply play all of your tracks.

Also available in the menu is a voice recorder, handy for little messages as reminders. There is a stopwatch and a section which tells you how much memory you have used. I currently have 39 tracks on my player and have only used 191 MB of 4769, so you can see the capacity it has to hold a vast library.

The rechargeable batteries also have a long life, with upto 20 hours playback between charges.

The music manager software is very easy to use, you only need to drag and drop.

As this is my first player I have nothing to compare it against, but I think the quality is superb for the price of £119.99.

Sounds like a good MP3 player. I wouldn't be without my iPod though!
