So small, I nearly lost it!  |

After much research, with this MP3 Player considered the best around, I purchased it with great anticipation. I have to agree in every way; its amazingly functional for such a small size with radio as well as record function for voice & music. There is the choice of standard or rechargeable batteries & a remote control unit. Downloading music is easy, especially from CD@s, just be sure to uncheck the "Enable Personal Rights" in Windows Media Player Options. WMA files are smaller than MP3s with no loss in sound quality, thus allowing up to 8hours of music! Im now looking out for the wrist strap so I can take jogging with me.

Tiny size big features  |
There are some wonderful things about modern technology - shiny plastics that look like metal, ever increasing memory for lower prices and better quality circuits. When these advances are combined with user friendly interfaces and smaller sizes youre basically onto a winner. My view is that there is no point getting an mp3 player of below 256mb and ideally only 512mb as lets face it if you have a mere i hour to play with youll soon get fed up. I have owened an Archos player with a hard drive in it that broke, twice, and a CD-MP3 player by Sony, but have finally come round to the convenience of solid state mini-players, and this is the one for me that rocks. You can get cheaper, but right now not smaller, and the design is siomple enough to stay classic.

Fantastic |
This thing is great! I can get about 30 tracks on it at 128kbps, so thats about 2 hours music. Transfer via USB couldnt be easier, and its quite quick too so as soon as you get bored the songs you can switch them easily (who needs an iPod, eh?).The little screen is extremely high definition, so it can fit a lot more detail on it than youd imagine, and its backlit so you can use it in the dark. Whats more, the player automatically detects the song names and artists from the ID3 tags on the MP3 files, so no more faffing around inputting song names like I used to do with my MiniDisc. The headphones give a good sound, and although a couple of others have commented on the short wire, they didnt mention that the player comes with a neck-band, thus negating the need for long heaphone cables. Build quality is nice and solid, yet light. Practically all the weight comes from the AAA battery, its insane. I havent bothered to try the voice recording aspect, as thats not why I bought an MP3 player so I cant comment on it, but everything else is great. A well thought out piece of kit (you can even change the duration of the backlight on the screen, and the scroll speed of the text), I havent seen anything better on the market at the moment.
