Zicplay V-MAX 2GB

Advantages: Stylish, excellent sound quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Can only be charged via PC

...Excellent MP3 Player. Versatile, stylish, easy to use. Bought mine for £63 from Amazon (delivered 48hrs later). Very easy to sync with PC, several software options for managing music, pictures, video and data files. Have mainly used mine for music as with only 2GB memory there is not room for many pictures and videos and the screen is a little small to do them justice anyway. The sound quality is excellent, although I invested in a pair of Phillips headphones which are superior to the ones included with the Zen. The only mild disappointment is that the player can only be charged through the USB PC connection, which takes a little while to charge it fully and needs to be done fairly often if you use the player quite a bit. But all in all I would certainly recommend the Zen V Plus as an excellent MP3 player.... Read review

In the end I ended up purchasing this machine for £89.99 just because of the look ( in my opinion more stylish than the ipod) and the price difference. One thing that surprised me was that, although I assumed the 2000 song capacity was based on 3-4 minute pop songs, I still managed to get around that number of opera songs on there (they can often last for ten minutes). A friend has since informed me that it is because the sound on the opera music is of lower quality and does not take up as much space as a re-mastered/remixed to the max, pop song (I don't know if this is true or not if anyone can confirm please do). So the product has exceeded my expectations in that respect. One thing that I am not very happy with, however, is the voice... Read review
