Advantages: Small and discreet with an array of features at a low price Disadvantages: at 1GB, bigger players can hold a lot more songs, not perfect for people who need more storage
First of all, we will begin with the size, at W x D x H. 11 x 25.4 x 80 mm with a weight of just 22.8g it can squeeze into the smallest of pockets with ease - perfect for people on the move who don't like to carry around big players. It operates on the USB 2.0 standard which means less frustration when waiting hours for songs to be transferred!.
The Samsung YP-U31GB has a battery life of up to 15 hours which is absolutely amazing compared to older mp3 players which operated on AAA size batteries which lasted for roughly 3-4 hours and needing fresh batteries. For a player of its size, it can hold a fantastic 500 songs in mp3 format and of course almost double in wma format.
Cosmetically, it is very attractive and user friendly, with touch sensitive buttons and colour screen with built in equalizer it's something you'll surely want ...
Advantages: Small Sleek and Sexy Disadvantages: None
I purchased a white version of the Samsung YP-U31GB mp3 for my technophobe friend a couple of weels ago and must say it is an extremely cool bit of kit.
It arrived in a small plastic box which was extremely well presented and fit through my letter box perfectly.

Synchronising music on the player is also a piece of cake and after an hour or so I had the device pre-loaded with all my friend's favourite music. It also has a built in FM tuner which works fairly well in picking up stations.
The functions on the player are very easy to use with touch sensitive controls and the blue backlit LCD screen tells you everything you need to know. It goes blank after a minute or so and looks like its switched off which I ...
Advantages: Easy To Use And Very Portable Disadvantages: None So Far
Apple iPod Shuffle 1GB
The Apple iPod Shuffle is a great mp3 player and it's very easy to use. With 1GB of memory you can go wrong. You can hold up to 250 songs which is great. Some people think this mp3 player is a waste of time due to the fact that it has no screen. However I think this mp3 player is easy to use especially when you're doing sport activities such as running or going to the gym.
The click wheel on the front of the player is somewhat like the click wheel on the iPod Nano. The only difference is that this click wheel is not touch sensitive. You click the middle button to pause and play the music. On the click wheel you can adjust the volume of the music and change the song.
One of the individual features about this iPod Shuffle is the clip on the back. This means you can wear your iPod Shuffle. You can clip it to ...
