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...

Tecknika mp3 player

Advantages: No batteries needed
Disadvantages: None

...When my son asked for an MP3 player so that he could take it to school for art, my first thought was no way because they are to expensive for someone to pinch. We were in Tesco and noticed this product for only £15, so I took a closer look. It is a small mp3 player which is good, because you can hide it well, especially when outside, it comes with 4 different face covers and does not take batteries, so yes I bought it, on the understanding that we will see how he takes care of this one and then we will by him a better if he does take care of it. Well we have no need to buy another one because this little mp3 is brilliant. To start with the batteries, as I have mentioned it doesn't take batteries, well it has an lithium battery inside which once charged lasts up to 8 hours, to charge it you plug the lead into the mp3 and then...

in the blue mp3/cd player

Advantages: Good basic player
Disadvantages: reliability lets it down

...I was given this player to keep me occupied on my many long bus and train journeys. THE PLAYER This is a Japanese mp3 and CD player, which comes in a silver and blue top with a grey base. It is 13cmx13cmx2½cm which is about average size, so its more bag sized than pocket sized. It comes with an adapter and ear bud type headphones. It only has a small display area, so only displays limited information on it, such as which track and album or how long the song has been playing for. There are also little icons to display what modes you have it on, which are discussed later. The buttons are fairly small, so not fab it you are fumbling about in the dark or going under a tunnel, or if you have any arthritic type problems that makes it difficult to press small buttons. The overall appearance is nice and suitable for male or female...

Phillips GoGear

Advantages: Great Player
Disadvantages: None I Can Think Of

...------------------------------- Phillips GoGear HDD085 ------------------------------- Off we go with the Phillips GoGear HDD085 proving to be one of the best MP3 players that I have ever had. Of course most people won?t have heard of it but it is very much in line with the ipod in some respects. Upon wanting a suitable MP3 player I decided to do a little bit of research as always and then try some out. At the time the ipod?s were just being released and everyone was trying to get hold of them even though they were still very high in costs. So not really wanting to pay for an ipod I carried on looking around for another device that could hold a very lot of songs and then listen to them with a decent set of headphones. That?s where I came around to get this snaggy little thing from Argos costing me just over a hundred pounds...

MP3 Player MP-906, Cheap and Cheerful

Advantages: Cheap! small, user friendly, no-one will ever want to steal it and you can replace cheaply if it breaks!
Disadvantages: No locking device, non standard headphones, obviously not hi-tech!

...it in case anyone was stuck wondering why it didn't work. ~~Music Quality~~ I have to say I'm not fussy about these things so can't give you an in depth analysis. I could hear the songs fine and there was no hissing or background noise. ~~Disadvantages~~ Now I don't mean to be fussy, obviously this is probably the cheapest MP3 player you will ever buy, but I do have a couple of quibbles. ~Locking~ I came to throw my new player in my bag as per usual and realized there is no way of locking it. As I tend to carry mine round with me all day I am used to locking it so that if you accidentally press the buttons it won't switch on. The Technika has no way of doing this so I have to make sure I don't knock the off button while I'm listening to it and then find somewhere safe to put it when I'm not using it. Unfortunately I am not...

Stunning little 256mb MP3 player for under £5

Advantages: Price, Simple to use, Quality
Disadvantages: Minimal features

...I have been debating whether to splash out on an mp3 player for quite some time now but always seemed to have something else to spend the money on so had not purchased one until now. While picking up some essentials I spotted the Technika MP-906 mp3 player which Tesco are currently retailing for £4.97 and so decided that at under £5 what the hell. I have to say it is probably the best £5 I have ever spent. For this price you don't expect much and so I was expecting a lightweight flimsy feeling piece of kit, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The first thing you notice when you remove the player from the packaging is the quality feel of the player. Not the flimsy plastic I was expecting but a solid plastic with a soft rubbery texture that is incredibly comfortable to hold. The styling of the player is very smooth...

iPod Shuffle Case

Advantages: A handy protection for your iPod Shuffle
Disadvantages: Err, can you have disadvantages?!

...the product page... Product Description Speck Products SkinTight for iPod Shuffle - case ( for digital player ) Product Type - Case Dimensions (WxDxH) - 2.8 cm x 1.2 cm x 9.1 cm Recommended Use - MP3 player Material - KRATON plastic Price wise, I couldn't remember what they cost me, so after a very brief look around the internet, I found the 5-pack of these cases, on Amazon, for £19.99, which to me seems awfully high, but you can buy "Used & New" for £11.49... so you may wish to look elsewhere for these. So to avoid any scratches or pieces being chipped off, these cases are the excellent companion to the Shuffle...recommended?? Oh yes!...

Review of Speck Products SkinTight For iPod Shuffle Case MP3 Player

mp3 cd player

Advantages: good battery life
Disadvantages: ?????

...by two AA batteries (not included) and the quoted battery life is around 50 hours for regular audio CD?s and nearer 80 for playing MP3?s (regular audio CD?s require more power because the disc is spinning more often). I use mp3?s and on the one set of batteries I?ve used so far I?m up to about fifty hours of play and it?s still going strong. The unit is quite light and although well-made doesn?t look like it would stand up well to any hard knocks so some sort of case is definitely recommended. Sound reproduction is excellent although the headphones supplied with the unit are a little on the cheap side. They are quite comfortable and work well but I can?t see them lasting all that long. One bonus of this range of players is that in addition to regular CD?s and mp3?s they support Sony?s very own ATRAC format (which stands for ?Adaptive...

Belkin Folio Ipod Nano White Case

Advantages: Clean, Tough, Looks very well built
Disadvantages: Expensive, have to remove to charge, slightly gets in the way of the hold button

...When I purchased my Ipod nano, I have heard plenty about how easily they are damaged so I made sure along side its purchase I ordered a case. I chose this on because it was a Belkin case which I like that brand. It also was white to match the Ipod and it also looked quite appealing to me for my tastes. Unfortunately the case was quite expensive coming in at about 15 pounds from the apple website but at least I was pleased to se it came with a "free/something to make it seem like your money was well spent" screen protector. The protector itself is a little film of plastic that is non-adhesive so it does not stick to your screen for easy removal. The case is made of nice looking quality leather. It is stitched so it's not just cheaply glued together. The inside is very soft and smooth so it is not to scratch the delicate mirror...

Review of Belkin Folio Case For iPod nano Case MP3 Player

Not a good Mp3 player

Advantages: Memory is OK for the price
Disadvantages: Interface is awful

...Mp3 players generally fall into one of three categories: 1) Large-memory, sometimes weighty, good quality ones, 2) Small "shuffle" type ones with minute memory capacities that are very cheap, and 3) Those in between. This Mp3 player is one of the third category: too expensive and with much too big a memory for category 2, but simply not good quality enough for category 1. SInce getting hold of one of these a year ago, I have experienced the following problems: -Flimsy earphones fell apart -Short battery span -Screen interface small and clunky -Limited space for Album names -Frequently switching off at random, especially on longer tracks, even if the battery is full. -Sometimes track names are not registered, or tracks are placed in the wrong albums, or tracks are missing from albums While the last two may be due to the fact...
