Advantages: Sturdy, cheap, feature-filled.

...than both of them, the Aiwa XP MP3. The Aiwa XP MP3 portable MP3 player looked like it had all the features I wanted. Anti-skip protection, it reads the filenames off of the disc, plays both audio CDs and MP3 discs. I wasn't asking for much, just that it work, and it play all the stuff that I had, which it does perfectly, and at 12000 yen ($93.75 at the exchange rate back then, now it'd be around $88.89.) it was a steal, considering the TDK Mojo ...
...looked pretty cool, and the Aiwa player falls right in between. But, hey, it costs less. What do I care?! The earplug headphones that come with the system have the built in controls to switch tracks, pause, etc. Very convenient if you're on a plane and don't want to have to keep picking up the system. It seems fairly durable, I was carrying it around in my pocket, and running around various parts of Japan, and went through the rigors of being in ... Read review

Disadvantages: fiddly remote control

My brother recived an aiwa mm-vx100 this christmas and hasn't seen much of it since I got my hands on it. The player looks like a real smart piece of kit straight from the box. Its shinny and its got a digital display and a fully funtional remote control. Once I ran off to my computer with it I found it very easy to use. The CD included in the box featured Real Jukebox which enables you to copy CD's into MP3 format and the VX100 manager to copy ...
...less than 30 seconds to install on my pc (166MMX, pre-historic now) and is dead simple to use. You just search through your hard disk to find your MP3 files.

Advantages: The clip feature and sound quality.
Disadvantages: Not many features

I love my ipod shuffle. I do have an ipod nano as well, but I find that i'm using the shuffle more and more over the nano. Firstly I find that the size and design of the shuffle (clip feature) is far more useful than the nano, it means you don't have to worry about having a pocket to put it in and is particularly useful for situations like the gym. You also don't have to worry about the screen getting scratched as obviously there isn't one! The ...
...it needs recharging. I paid £22 for mine off bigpockets when they were selling all the old models off cheaper which is no doubt an absolute bargain. I also feel that the sound quality is as good as all the other Ipod types. The choice of colours is also good so you can pick one to suit your style. The thing with the shuffle is you obviously don't know what song is going to come next, so I make sure that I only put my favourite songs on it in groups ... Read review
