DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) digital radio is, in addition to FM analogue transmission, a new way of broadcasting radio via a network of terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners with more choices and information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality. The technology allows the receiver to lock onto the strongest signal it can find. With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember and sets are tuned by station name, so there is no returning on the move.

This is what you want, so bye it now, and start listenin to what YOU call music!
Advantages: Light Weight, Looks Cool. Disadvantages: Slow to find songs. Size of the screen to view the pictures and video clips.
...When I got htis product around a year ago I thought it was good. You could store: Music, Phots and Movie Clips. Plus you can even listen the radio.
Then a few months into having the Philipsmp3 player I noticed it wasn't that good. And these are the reasons why: Hard to find your song that you want to listen to due to the slow display of eace song. The pictures are not clear because of the small display, and the resolution the screen is bad.
Having said that the price you pay is what you get. If you are looking for a cheap mp3 player which can store: Music, Videos and Pictures then this product is for you. Its also light and looks cool. You can connect it up to your computer easily and can transfer your pictures and music to the mp3 player with stress free. Plus the battery is good aswell.
If you want to have...

Phillips GoGear HDD085
-------------------------------
Off we go with the Phillips GoGear HDD085 proving to be one of the best MP3 players that I have ever had. Of course most people won’t have heard of it but it is very much in line with the ipod in some respects. Upon wanting a suitable MP3 player I decided to do a little bit of research as always and then try some out. At the time the ipod’s were just being released and everyone was trying to get hold of them even though they were still very high in costs. So not really wanting to pay for an ipod I carried on looking around for another device that could hold a very lot of songs and then listen to them with a decent set of headphones.
That’s where I came around to get this snaggy little thing from Argos costing me just over a hundred pounds...

Advantages: Compact, great sound quality Disadvantages: You need a PC
...need "drivers" (special files which tell the computer how to communicate with the MP3player) - just plug it in and away you go.
Older operating systems (Windows 98 or earlier) will need you to install the drivers first but the PhilipsMP3 player supplies these on disc.
~~ What is in the box ? ~~
The Philips GoGear MP3 player comes with :-
- MP3 player (thankfully)
- plug-in ear phones
- lanyard to carry it around with
- external battery pack
- instruction manual and disc
~~ Features ~~
The MP3 player I bought was a 256mb version which I managed to fit 3 albums onto as some of the songs were quite long, otherwise I could probably have got another 5 songs or more.
The player displays the track that is playing which is handy if you want to skip to your favourite tracks.
The player recharges via your computer's USB...

Manufacturer's product description
The Philips RUSH SA126 is a lightweight silver MP3 player, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. This square, 65-gram (without two AAA batteries) player is sturdy and attractive. The player comes bundled with RealPlayer software for a PC, making light work of handling music from the Net or 'ripping' tracks from CD. Copying them over onto the unit - via USB or the parallel port of your computer - is a cinch, too. The SA126 comes complete with a 64Mb SmartMedia card for storage, which is enough for about an hour's worth of music without going overboard on the compression. RUSH displays song/album/artist/filenames, as well as play length. Users also can scan within tracks and "bookmark" up to 10 song files that can then be accessed quickly and easily - you'll love it. RUSH comes with a four-band equalizer.
