beautiful music

Advantages: small, simple and beautiful
Disadvantages: ear pieces uncomfortable

As an MP3 novice, i was baffled when it came to picking the right one for my two sons this Christmas, so my partner did! he looked about and asked around and came to the conclusion that as a first MP3 player this one was just the job. The boys and myself were amazed at just how small and beautiful it is. I had the task of getting the boys started with their music and i was dreading it, however the instructions couldn't have been simpler after loading ...
...screen were very easy to follow and understand. My boys are now enjoying listening to their favourite music, with good sound quality, where ever they go. My only criticism is that the ear pieces do become uncomfortable after awhile and it would probably pay to invest in a pair of more comfy ear pieces. As for durability i would have to say good as my two sons are very boisterous eleven and twelve year old and very active, thank goodness the pebble ...

Yepp YP-53 MP3 player

Advantages: Small, stylish and very cool
Disadvantages: The headphones hurt my ears to start with

Being a complete MP3 player virgin it was with some trepidation that I opened the box at Christmas. I couldn't believe that somebody had bought me one and immediately thought it would be way too complicated and that I would never use it!! How wrong was I? When I unpacked the box I was surprised at how easy it was to put all the bits together and immediately managed to get the radio working. I was amazed at the quality of the sound and just how crisp ...
...I got home to try loading some CD's onto it. I was a little nervous when I first plugged it into my laptop, but the software that came with it made loading CD's a cinch. I couldn't believe how easy it was and that I could now have my own portable CD library. Right, now for the technical bits. It has 512mb built in memory and supports MP3 and WMA audio formats. It has a backlit display and a built in FM radio. It has a 20 hour playback time and ...

Samsung YP-T9 MP3 Player

Advantages: small, sleek and brilliant
Disadvantages: could have included the bluetooth headset

What a great toy! I love it! It looks just like samsungs mobile phones but smaller and thinner and much lighter, but dont be deceived it seems quite hardy. Only downside i think for some people will be the buttons on the side which if you have big fingers will take some getting used to but heh it takes us all time to get used to something new. Most of the navigation is actually through the controls on the front. I reckon this is a really good MP3 ...
...Mpeg4's) Music sounds fab and the software is really easy to use. It enables you to drag tracks, pics or movies to the mp3 player. The 1 meg costs £79.99 from comet and i believe the 2 meg is around £120ish, not sure about the 4 meg one. The screen is actually quite large compared to some other mp3's. It is blue tooth enabled too which is great for me as my car stereo is bluetooth so i dont have to have wires connecting the two together, but if ...

Samsung MP3 player, 2GB or 4GB

Advantages: Affordable, reliable, easy to use and transfer songs to
Disadvantages: memory may not be big enough for all people, pictures are slow

Having had this MP3 player now for nearly 2 years, I have not had any problems with it. It is very reliable, never crashes, freezes etc on me, is really easy to put music on, and is at a very reasonable price, even the 4GB is very affordable and very durable, I have dropped mine countless times without any problems. Something you may not think of is that the screen is very clear and easy to use in all lights(brightness of screen can also be altered) ...
...to people who have a large music library, but are often able to change the music on the MP3 player due to the 2GB only holding around 500 songs, and the 4GB holding around 1000 songs. Fits easily into ipod nano(older shape) pouches therefore good for sports etc. one downfall is that the picture viewer can be a bit sluggish, and I found having pictures on slowed down the whole system(longer to load songs etc) However very good MP3 player and I would ...

Samsung YP-U2R 2GB

Advantages: Samsung, lot of space, lasts heavy use.
Disadvantages: It can only charge through USB.

...product I have had from Samsung was great and longlasting, with usually the options you want on that product. This is a 2GB ( 1964MB? ) MP3 player, even though it supports alot of other audiofiles. It will not play videos or display pictures, its pure music. ---- Functions ----- The obvious ones first: Hold - Unless you slide it from hold again no button will respond. Next - Play next track ( does not work in 'hold' ) Prev - Play previous track ...
...Add 1 to the volume ( to a maximum of '30' ) Minus - Subtract 1 of the volume ( to a minimum of '0' ) The cool ones next: M - Menu, okay, enter, it pretty much just works as the button you need, it rocks, its nice and solid, and nicely positioned in the center of 4 buttons. User/ *red dot* - Means Record, this is where you can record audio files yourself, and the mic picks up quite alot of sound, and the quality is reasonable. One problem, it ...
