Lexar JumpDrive Music 256 MB

Advantages: Size, Logos, Bundled Accesories, Durability, FM Radio, Voice Recorder, Microphone, Battery Life
Disadvantages: Limitied Capacity. USB 1.1

...easy to take songs around friends houses and copy songs too and from it. There arent many disadvantages to this player. Perhaps the main one is the capacity. ---------CAPACITY-------- Unfortunatly the capactiy is only 256mb, and flash based drives go up to 2GB or perhaps even 4GB now. As this is only 256mb you can fit around 30 songs on it in normal quality 128kbps, but if you compress them you can get around 80 on there. I have to warn you though, compressed songs played back on this player sound terrible. You really notice the difference in quality. ----------USB 1.1---------- Unfortunatly. the player is USB 1.1, this means that its 40x slower than that of USB 2, so if you're transfering 256mb of data in one go, go away, make a cup of tea and come back, if you're lucky it might be done. If not, go and take a power nap, recharge... Read review

Advantages: very easy to use
Disadvantages: uses batterys quickly

...this is a nice little mp3 player which has excellent sound quality. 256mb hold around 70 songs for me but you can also use it to hold documents so you can transfer them from computer to computer its quite wide when you put it in a usb socket you cant put anything in the socket next to it but it dose come with a small uysb extension cable to get around this. you really want front or side facing usb sockets to be able to easily plug this in. it not very durable once i had it plugged in and i knocked it with my knee and it bent the usb and the casing came undone luckily i staigtened the usb and with a bit of pressure it came back together and was working perfectly and my songs still there. features: mp3 player- great quality songs player holds upto 70 songs recording can record in greatquality for upto 36 secongs...

...I had been looking for an MP3 player for ages for one purpose and one purpose only - going to the Gym! I hate working out on the treadmill listening to my little Roberts radio, or to the Gym's own stations because you never know what kind of horrible, rhythmless music they're gonna play next! I like to choose my own tracks! So, after looking round the different stores (Argos, Dixons etc), and reading some of the reviews on this Ciao, I went the whole hog and paid £119.99 for the 256 MB MuVo NX at Dixons. MY main reason for choosing the MuVo was the favourable reviews, and the fact it has NO moving parts at all - ideal for banging around in the gym! My first - and lasting - impressions were that this is a *brilliant* little machine. You need to be computer-literate before using it though; to put your favourite tracks onto... Read review
