Technika MP-308 4GB MP3 player with FM tuner

Advantages: Wide range of features
Disadvantages: Difficult to navagate menus

...The MP-308 is Tesco?s current top of the range mini MP3 player with FM radio, and at 3p shy of £30 places it firmly in the budget end of the market. Having very recently ?goosed? my previous player doing a firmware upgrade, I got mine as an impulse purchase. It?s small ? about the same size as a lighter, and has a rechargeable battery, so running costs are minimal. You get everything you need; the player, a USB lead, a pair of cheap headphones, and a set of paper instructions and a mini-CD. In fact if you?ve previously owned an MP3 player, you can probably dispense with the last two items, the player supports traditional ?drag?n?drop? from your ?my music? folder. The instructions suggest that it?s far better to use the application which comes with the machine, that way you can make playlists, catalogue your albums and so...

Review of Technika MP3 player

Great MP3 Player - Simplicity and Elegance

Advantages: Looks great, airtight integration with iTunes
Disadvantages: Feels too small

.... This iPod got me into podcasts, because they are so easy to set-up. The battery life is good. Sound quality is average. I had a Sony walkman before and sound quality between the two is quite noticable. iPod nano lacks bass. There are EQ settings but not user-configurable ones. Apple's main advertising with this player is CoverFlow. This is when you can browse your music collection by flicking thro' album artwork. However, often it time a few seconds for the images to load, so is not as pretty as appears on adverts. Also it will take you AGES to go thro' your iTunes library and get all the album artwork. I tried it with a FM transmitter (generic) and it worked fine. Overall an excellent MP3 player that boasts airtight integration with iTunes and looks very attractive. However often feels too small. I brought the 8GB silver...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

Samsung MP3 player, 2GB or 4GB

Advantages: Affordable, reliable, easy to use and transfer songs to
Disadvantages: memory may not be big enough for all people, pictures are slow

...Having had this MP3 player now for nearly 2 years, I have not had any problems with it. It is very reliable, never crashes, freezes etc on me, is really easy to put music on, and is at a very reasonable price, even the 4GB is very affordable and very durable, I have dropped mine countless times without any problems. Something you may not think of is that the screen is very clear and easy to use in all lights(brightness of screen can also be altered) and does not scratch easily. I would recommend this to people who have a large music library, but are often able to change the music on the MP3 player due to the 2GB only holding around 500 songs, and the 4GB holding around 1000 songs. Fits easily into ipod nano(older shape) pouches therefore good for sports etc. one downfall is that the picture viewer can be a bit sluggish, and I found...

Review of Samsung YP-Z5QS 2 GB

Creative zen 32gb - innovative and stylish mp3

Advantages: large viewing screen, photos storage, radio, recording, sd slot, good sound quality
Disadvantages: reliability, durability - easily scratched, no mains charger

...I have owned a Creative ZEN 32gb mp3 player for approximately a year - previous to this I had a much older creative zen which lasted well until it was finally drowned in a deluge of water. As such I was veering towards buying another zen due to my previous positive experiences. I came across this one online and read a number of reviews - half claiming it was the best mp3 ever and the other that it was the worst. Never had I seen such a difference of opinion! but much of the negativity came from the fact that many people had bought the mp3 player only to find that it stopped working rather quickly. After some consideration I decided to go ahead and purchase one. Negatives: After 2 weeks it stopped working - the screen turned white and the reset button had no effect. I got it replaced and a year later it is still working fine - the only...

Review of Creative Zen 32GB

Acer 1GB Mp3 Player

Advantages: Stylish Design at Great Price
Disadvantages: Not the best FM radio

...This is a stylish looking multi-function mp3 player that is available at a great price compared to other mp3 players that have a 1GB storage capacity. Some people may shy away from this mp3 player as the brand name doesn't have the same kudos as the ipod shuffle or some other players but the performance offered by this player means that the lack of a brand name shouldn't prevent anyone purchasing it. The sound quality is good and the playing time of 12 hours is good in comparison to some other players. The player also offers some other good features such as FM radio and voice recorder function so this is a versatile and competent mp3 player that is good value for money and able to compete side by side with the Creative mp3 player and the Ipod shuffle....

Review of Acer Advanced MP3 Player 1 GB

The best small 4GB MP3 player -No its NOT an IPOD!

Advantages: Small & Sleek design, Can store any file format
Disadvantages: Small screen (although it still gives all the information you ever need)

...OK, so I may be a bit bias as I have a MuVo2 & not an IPOD, but read on & decide for yourself! A couple of months ago I started looking for some personal audio that could play hours of music without me having to change CDs or anything (so I didn't have to have an endless supply of CDs in the office). I finally settled on a CD/MP3 player which allowed me to burn any songs I wanted onto a CD (fitting around 170 on a disc). However I only used this for a couple of months as I managed to win this MP3 player through 'Nuts' magazine (please don't call me that!). I have since looked at some prices & it can be found from £150 to £200 depending where you look. The MuVo2 4GB has the same memory as the apple ipod mini. It weighs the same as a small mobile phone (about 91g) & although it is 15mm wider & 6mm deeper, it is a massive 25mm shorter...

Review of Creative MuVo2 4GB 4 GB

A very creative Mp3 player

Advantages: small, has a a clear fm radio, size of storage.
Disadvantages: box it came in

...I purchased this Mp3 Player from Currys I decided on 1GB flash memory storage because it would hold at least 16 hours of MP3 music or 32 hours of WMA music. This equates to around 320 MP3 song and 450 MWA files which I believe is the easier and better way to load files on to the flash memory. The Muvo is small light and compact and reuqires 1 one "AAA" battery, it also has a microphone that allows a voice recording function of which you can record 64 hours. I havent tried this but I assume this is without any song material on the memory. The Player also incorperates 5 band graphic equaliser and 4 presets to suit your taste in music, a thing I have noticed against my cheaper old mp3 oplayer is the excellent sound quality of the creative brand. To move files from laptop or computer is easy with the universal USB 2...

Review of Creative MuVo TX 1 GB

6GB Micro mp3 player

Advantages: easy to use, good sound quality
Disadvantages: no colour screen

.... There is three speed settings for the controls so you can make the controls more sensitive or less sensitive to suit your needs. THE COLOURS: You can get this player in: Black White Dark Blue Red Lime Green Pink Light Blue Purple Orange Grey THE HARD DISK SPACE: The creative zen micro comes in 3 different sizes: 4gb = 1000 songs 5gb = 1250 songs 6gb = 1500 songs I personally like the 6gb model as I have about 1500 songs in my music collection but you can choose which size you like based on your music collection. If you have a bigger music collection than this it doesn\'t matter because you can constantly change what music you have on your player using the handy creative software that comes with the player. ACCESSORIES: With the zen micro you recieve the creative software that is absolutely brilliant for putting music...

Review of Creative Zen Micro 6 GB

Genus vizo mp3, mp4 player, cheap, easy, 1 gb

Advantages: Compact, good screen, cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery life in video play mode.

...I bought my vizo off ebay, at the cheap price of £35 all-in. Upon using it, i found the transfer of data to be easy, and quick. The screen itself, whilst not big, is clear and not straining on the eyes. The battery life is not that good on video player, just 4 hours, howveer, switching the lcd off, and listening as a mp3 player alone allows the vizo to run to 10 hours 9provided yours is not a very-old second hand one). It is compact, and easy to use, the menu functions are all relatively easy to navigate, as is the use of the joystick to do so. This player may not hold too much in the way of memory, but you can fit a good movie on there of about 2 hours and a bit, and still have 300 mb to play with on mp3 time. There is also the option of fitting pictures on to it, which you can use up to 6 megapixel pics with, and the handy option...

Review of Genus Vizo 1Gb Portable MP4 Player

THE 8GB MUSIC PLAYER.

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, SOUND OUTPUT AND LONG BATTERY LIFE.
Disadvantages: : FRAGILE IN LOOKS.

...the I pod touch makes it quite a different and unique. The I pod touch is capable of storing large capacity of information well what actually do you think of a device that that has 8gb memory space. Like I wrote above, it is capable of 1500 to 1700 songs and on the other hand, capable of storing 10,000 pictures and also capable of playing video for the duration of 10 hours. In terms of videos, you can equally upload videos just like in music. You can upload movie but the issue with it is that the more you videos you put, the less you space In the music section, we have many categories like the album, artist, song title and genre these are the categories that make it very possible for you to make easy selections of your music. But what I don't like about the device is lack of external loudspeaker so it then means that if by mistake you...
