review of hercules mp3 djay control

Advantages: easy to install and understand, very cheap, good features very small and portable
Disadvantages: No headphone jack, space slightly cramped with buttons, requires seperate sound card for cueing

...supplied with the virtual dj software which basicaly works like your top end mp3 mixing softwares such as final scratch by stanton. on screen you see two turntables where you can load up a song on each, there is a virtual mixer on screen allowing you to fade between tracks like the real thing, the software can be used on its own and when you hook up the unit you get a more realistic hands on dj feel. The company claim that it can be used to perform mixing and scratching like the real thing but i personally found the jog wheels being very small and hard to keep track of what your doing and also the cross fader being very close in proximity means you are likely to knock it as you move the wheels making tight cuts very difficult although i found there to be little or no latency between the movement of the wheel and the representation of that in...

Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Amazon MP3 is an excellent alternative to 'itunes' and 'napster'

Advantages: DRM free MP3s play on all computers / mp3 players, and copied endlessly, huge variety, good prices
Disadvantages: Download program needed for multiple song downloads, but this is also occurs with main rivals

...I don't have an ipod, I am very happy with my MP3 player and don't plan to buy an ipod. All of my music is organised in Windows Media Player,and I wanted to keep it that way. I didn't want to mess up my carefully organised system, but I really wanted to start downloading music (without doing so illegally). I didn't want the itunes or napster programs on my computer, then I discoverend Amazon MP3 music download. Most importantly - Amazon MP3s are DRM free. DRM (digital rights management) found on itunes and napster tracks, involve software that restricts the tracks being played to the computer they were originally purchased on (and 2 or 3 nominated computers that also have naptster / itunes installed). DRM prevent you sharing your music with your friends and you can even lose it altogether if your computer dies. Amazon MP3 files...

Review of AmazonMP3 Music Downloads

Legal mp3s

Advantages: new bands!!!
Disadvantages: thousands of them :o(

...MP3.com is a site which consists of a huge database of legal(yes legal) mp3 files for your downloading pleasure. If you are looking to uncover the next Oasis then this is probably one of the better places to start as there are some really good bands etc. on here...if you can find them... The main problem which I find with this site is that it is simply so huge. There are literally thousands of mp3s on here by numerous artists and trawling through the chaff to reach the corn is something of a life-shortening experience. Sadly it is moe likely that you will prefer to use something like Napster and find the files by artists you already know and like rather than seeking out ones you have never heard of at mp3.com. Overall, a great idea and a site which is easy to use and navigate, but the easy option is always best so unless you have...

The Apple Of My i (MP3 Edition)

Advantages: An excellent MP3 player with a huge hard drive.
Disadvantages: So much space available you may not know exactly what to do with it all.

...Once I bought the iPhone I was dying for another bite of the Apple. I have a huge and ever expanding collection of music and therefore need a large MP3 player to hold it all on. The iPhone is great, but with a 16GB hard drive it just isn't quite large enough to store my masses of music on. From Abba right through to ZZ Top; the 160GB Apple iPod can hold it all and there is still plenty of space left over for my ever expanding music collection. Having so far taken up 100GB I think I'm doing quite well at filling it so far, but there's still plenty more that can be stored and I doubt I'll be stretching my player to its full capacity for a long while yet. 100GB is the total amount of music I have amassed during the last 5 or so years, and to tell the truth a lot of the music on there I probably shan't be listening to ever again. How...

Review of Apple iPod classic 160 GB

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

The best MP3 resource on the Internet

Advantages: Free original music, plenty of reviews on software, and comments on legalities
Disadvantages: Can be a little slow at times due to the huge amount of traffic

...This site covers every single aspect of the MP3 computer music scene. You need look no further than mp3.com for everything you ever wanted to know about MP3's - oh and you can get some music as well (how could I forget the music). Where do I start? Well, I'll start with the tunes. I am actually a member of the mp3.com artist group, and I can tell you there are some very good people who put their music on to this site! Some of whom I'm sure will go on to bigger and better things in the future. Basically what we have here is a music "community" made up of various artists who need/want to get themselves heard. This site covers pretty much every musical genre that there is! If it's not here then it probably isn't worth listening to. This means that whatever kind of music you are looking for you are bound to find something to suit you...

Review of mp3.com

Free mp3 music - almost! It's true!

Advantages: Very very cheap
Disadvantages: Search facility could be improved

...WHAT? FREE MUSIC? Yes, free mp3 music, almost ? and I?m not talking about file sharing either. As far as the old Napster is concerned ? been there, done that, got the virus? No, I?ve had my fill of queues, misnamed and incomplete files, adware, Trojans and other assorted malicious code from these sites. I?m not talking about over-commercialised sites either, where you?re expected to pay 99p for a track. For an album (in mp3 format, which is not as good as audio CD), you can pay as much as you would in the High Street ? and you don?t even get the CD, the jewel case or the sleeve notes to keep. I?m talking about a little-known Russian (so far!) music download site, (there are actually three sites I use, which are all very very cheap, but this one beats them all in price if not for scope, and which I?ve been using...

Review of 3MP3.ru

evoke 3 radio,mp3 or ipod dock?

Advantages: jack of all trades
Disadvantages: price, only takes upto 1gb sd card i think

...I have had this radio about a year, first I was looking for an ipod dock so I could play tunes in the kitchen or outdoors. I soon decided a dock on its own is pretty pointless I may as well get a digital radio with an aux in socket. Finding the evoke 3 does has this and also takes and sd card (1gb) I bought one. The sd card holds about 10 cds worth of music so I rarely need the ipod aux in connector. I also got the charge pak so that the batterys are always charged ready to take my radio/mp3 anywhere i want. So a pretty expensive ipod dock maybe but it is small and neat and only needs a wire if your charging it or on the rare occasions I actually plug the ipod into it instead of using the built in mp3 player. Putting music onto the card is easy just plug the radio into the usb on computer (lead required but I just use...

Review of Pure Digital Evoke 3

This MP3 is just right for me

Advantages: Holds more than 10 albums
Disadvantages: See below

...I recently went to use my personal CD player and to my disappointment it was broken. Anyhow I decided it was time to give up the ghost and buy myself something new. I grabbed the Argos catalogue and had a browse and spotted a cheap little 1 GB MP3 Player and as I have just added all my CD collection onto my hard drive a short while ago I thought this would be ideal. The MP3 player made by a company called iitronics who have their own website www.iitronics.com . The model that I purchased was the IMP-65 Portable WMA/MP3 player. It can hold up to 1024MB of data and has a built in microphone. The packaging was very good and it included some basic earphones, a USB cable, an AAA battery and a CD driver disc. There was also Warranty card and a user manual. The earphones are very basic and struck me as peculiar because near the jack...
