i am truly amazed by this product! its just so small! u really don’t expect it to be quite as small as it is. The esp is amazing but u don’t even need it! Because of the size of the cds they are held so securely that it never ever skips even without the esp on when u shake it about loads! You can fit 50 tracks on one little cd which for me is perfect because i like to have organized types of cd rather than just one 10 hr bunch of ... more

One set of batteries gives you eight hours of mobile sound and best of all they're rechargeable so you don't have to buy new ones. And for those wanting to listen at home, a mains adapter is included in the box. i am truly amazed by this product! its just so small! u really don’t expect it to be quite as small as it is. The esp is amazing but u don’t even need it! Because of the size of the cds they are held so securely that it never ever skips even without the esp on when u shake it about loads! You can fit 50 tracks on one little cd which for me is perfect because i like to have organized types of cd rather than just one 10 hr bunch of everything mixed up. The features are really good allowing very nice bass and and treble top up if u so desire :) havnt quite figured out how u change between albums yet but i suppose you have to specify that on the files individually before writing (I’ve only used it once!) shuffle, repeat, hold, resume etc its all there with all the features u need. The ldc display is very cool indeed! track number, and scrolling name give a very nice display along with all the other assigned features that are there. best thing about this product: has to be the recharge capacity!! True the batteries don’t last as long as most cd players, but u just plug in the discman at night and its fully recharged, no extra equip needed! and if u run out of power on holiday etc. of course u can just slap in some normal AAA batteries. Brilliant! overall a truly excellent product.
Advantages: Small, Good Features Disadvantages: None

- What's It Do -
This little device will play any music you like just burn the songs you want onto a cd and just pop it into the player and away it goes.

Advantages: lots! Disadvantages: only problem is the sound quality of radio recording
i was lucky enough to win one of these players and i was very pleased with it. I can fit about 8 -10 songs on the 32mb memory card, which can be added up to 64mb by adding a memeory card. This player looks very smart, the battery lasts a long time and the sound quality is good. It also has a dicophone function which it good, aswell as a line in function allowing you to record from the radio, but on thi the quality is not so good, but that is just ...

Advantages: easy to use Disadvantages: baterys run out to quickly
This is the best MP3 I have ever had. It has impeccable sound quality, and it looks great. Although I found you dont get very long out of the batteries compared to a normal Walkman.
It’s sleek design fits nicely into any pocket, although it does have a tendency to fall out, you can buy a belt clip for it and it has a lobster claw type clasp which will attach it to any pocket, belt.
It is very durable too, I wouldn’t recommend doing it deliberately ... ...it was still intact and worked perfectly.
The software you get with it is very easy to use, but it is real jukebox and it always prompts you to upgrade it also if you have the new Real1 installed you wont be able to use the software unless you uninstall it.
While its manual is extremely thick it covers various European languages like English, Italian, French, German. It is also very easy to understand.
The price is very reasonable, mine cost me ...

First of all, i am sorry if this is in the wrong catigory..
I am writing my opinions on the pros and cons of mp3's. Should they be legal or illegal?? If they are legal, then honestly how many of you are going to pop down to virgin or whereever and BUY cd's? This will allmost certainly damage the british music scene. i have downloaded many new songs from the internet. Only a few have a still bought after they were released. This must be hurting new ...
