A First-Class MP3/WMA (and Ogg Vorbis) Head Unit

Advantages: Excellent range of features, good sound quality, attractive unit
Disadvantages: Poorly translated documentation, with insufficient details on certain aspects of operation.

...none of my music is in this format, but I have used it successfully with both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis media, despite this not being one of the listed supported formats. My main criticism of the features would be the lack of a USB or SD card input on the head unit itself. This is not a problem for me, as it has an auxiliary input for higher capacity iPods and such, and the detachable MP3 player can be plugged into a computer. The appearance of the unit is quite attractive, with a brushed metal finish, and blue lighting. All in all, this is an excellent piece if equipment, and I highly recommend it....

Review of Mutant MT1106USB

Carefully, Take No Frogs

Advantages: Great recipes, very funny
Disadvantages: You need to know discworld

...Let me first introduce Nanny Ogg. Anyone who is familiar with Terry Pratchett's Discworld will already know her. She is one of the three witches of Lancre, a town found on Discworld. Nanny has a large family comprising of several children, a multitude of grandchildren and great- grandchildren and an army of daughters-in-law. To Nanny Ogg, daughters-in-law are solely for the purpose of making her life easier by doing everything for her. Over many years of home making, nanny has garnered a great wealth of knowledge regarding recipes and social behaviour. She decided to rite a book to pass on her knowledge and wisdom. After all, everyone else is doing it. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part are the recipes and the second is nanny's advice on etiquette. The recipes in this book have been gathererd by...

Review of Nanny Ogg's Cookbook - Terry Pratchett

The Joy of Snacks

Advantages: a very funny read
Disadvantages: none

...This book is a collection of the recipes and wisdom of Nanny Ogg, resident of Lancre, witch and now author, who will be a familiar figure to those of you who have read Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Those of you who have read Maskerade will be familiar with Nanny Ogg's book 'The Joy of Snacks' but since this had been banned Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is the next best thing. The book contains recipe's (in a cookbook? surely not?) both from Nanny herself and other residents of the discworld. These recipes include;Nanny Ogg's perfectly innocnet porridge with completely innoffensive honey mixture which shouldn't make anyone's wife laugh;knuckle sandwich,Mrs Gogol's cairvoyant gumbo;Nobby's mum's distressed pudding and carrot and oyster pie ("carrots so's you can see in the dark and oysters so's you've got something to look at, as I always...

Review of Nanny Ogg's Cookbook - Terry Pratchett

All It Takes Is A Bit Of Foresight.

Advantages: Solid, practical advice for anyone who's had to ask where the man with the ferrets should be seated
Disadvantages: The Etiquette in the Bedroom section got cut...

...As a long term Terry Pratchett fan, my collection would not be complete without all the associated spin off books and paraphanalia thath any successful series creates. Luckily for me, this doesn't consist of lampshades and wallpaper, but rather intelligent, funny and even useful books! Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is no exception. As a spin off (sort of) of an idea first raised in the book 'Maskerade', the idea behind it is that the beloved Nanny Ogg, matriach of half of Lancre, is sharing the wisdom that she has gained through a long and interesting life with the general populous. That way maybe they won't have to come and ask her all the time. It's a stroke of genius, as the receipes actually work, although even if they didn't I doubt people would really care. So if anyone is wondering what a Strawberry Wobbler tastes like, or Primeval...

Review of Nanny Ogg's Cookbook - Terry Pratchett

Strawberry Wobblers?

Advantages: Delicious recipes, brilliant illustrations, rib tickling writing
Disadvantages: Some ingredients required can be a little hard to find....

...Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is another piece of 'spin-off' literature from the Discworld series by Terry Prachett. In the book, Nanny Ogg, the Discworld's wisest (and randiest) witch has kindly parted with many unique recipes, such as 'Bananana Soup Surprise' -"Surprising, eh?", 'Carrot and Oyster Pie' - "Carrots so's you can see in the dark, and oysters so's you've got something to look at", and the immortal 'Strawberry Wobblers' - "It's pink and it wobbles, always gets alot of laughs at parties". Mrs Ogg isn't the only person to impart with recipes, as many of the Discworld's famous personalities contribute, with such additions as 'Rincewind's Potato Cakes' and 'CMOT Dibbler's Sausage-inna-bun'. Visually, the book is a real dazzler. The illustrations are lavish, and incredibly representative of the Discworld characters. They were...

Review of Nanny Ogg's Cookbook - Terry Pratchett

A buy you will not regret

Advantages: Good sound quality.
Disadvantages: Perhaps the size of 16GB does limit it some what as a heavy storage product.

...for music and H.264 and MPEG4 files for video. There's no FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or WMA support, nor any for DivX or WMV, MPEG1 or 2. Although very beautifully designed and fantastically thin at just 8mm, its pocket footprint is actually a little larger than a standard iPod, measuring 62mm wide by 110mm tall. And battery life is nothing to write home about either, weighing in at up to 22 hours for audio and a par-score five hours for video....

Review of Apple iPod touch 16 GB

iPod Touch Review

Advantages: Very slim design, superb visuals, built-in wifi with full web, jailbreak to increase functionality
Disadvantages: Isn't the BEST sound, but that's being very picky!

...The first thing you'll notice when you receive your iPod Touch is how unbelieveably thin it is. How on earth Apple managed to pack everything in it is way beyond me. The first decent thing therefore is the packaging - nothing is wasted. The box is incredibly small so won't clutter anything. Now onto the main review. The Apple iPod Touch is one amazing music player. Unfortunately it still does not support OGG-Vorbis, but of course AAC makes up for this so you can still retain great quality sound with lower bitrates. The iPod Touch doesn't have the best sound around, but to say it's a fault would be being very picky indeed. Now onto the visuals. Absolutely superb. Even just looking at album art - you'll be astounded as to quality. But if you think that's great, the video player is even better. Supporting videos of 640x480 using...

Review of Apple iPod touch 16 GB

IPOD TOUCH is worth paying for..........

Advantages: looks and it is touch screen
Disadvantages: not so much distinguished in specifications from other ipods

.... There's no FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or WMA support, nor any for DivX or WMV, MPEG1 or 2.It's has very beautifully designed and fantastically thin at just 8mm, its actually size is little larger than a standard iPod, measuring 62mm wide by 110mm tall. And battery is about 22 hours for audio and five hours for video. Is simple touch screen really be worth paying so much for? The answer is yes, bercause the ipod touch's touch-sensitive control system really is a revolution in music players. I cant think of any other way of express my thoughts. I can't see any other manufacturer coming up with anything superior in this ear. It's the best touch sensitive interface I've ever used on any device. Apple ipod touch is worth paying. It is worth spending money................

Samsung YP 512 MB Black

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: can not to play others format like mp4

...I got this product when my friend came from Korea and he offered this product after being tried by me and I like this product. Why did I like this thing among them is has a very good quality voice. With RDS radio Samsung YP-U2X - 512Mb could accept the radio signal very well. The method of filling up the song also is very easy just plug into usb computer then copy paste into gadget, this is very simple. You can play Ogg Vorbis, ASF, WAV, WMA, Protected WMA (DRM), MP3. For the similar product from samsung, this gadget has several choices from the measurement of the capacity until the measurement of his screen with the different price, better more expensive. Many similar products but I more like this one but the choice is in yours....
