Advantages: lightweaight, reliable, affordable, great quality

Disadvantages: no screen, little space for music

I got this for around 30 quid from hmv about a year ago and I must say it is very good value for money. If you are, like me, not the type of person to store thousands of songs on their mp3 players, but only a few say hundred legendary tunes then this mp3 player would suit you down to the bone.

Small and light, it even has its own little clip for those who want to press the little buttons whilst on the move. I love this mp3 player, it just does what it says on the tin - nothing more and nothing less.

On top of this, Apple have a legendary reputation for customer service so if it brakes, which it hasnt done for me, then you dont have to worry as apple will help!

Upon installation on your computer, it installs itunes for you. I would argue that itunes is a very good player and with the shuffle it makes song transfers very easy indeed.

The only downside is that for the same price you can get an mp3 player with probably more space to put your songs on and will probably have a small screen. With the shuffle, you have to guess what songs you are listening to which can be frustrating at times.

To conclude, if you are in need of a good quality, solid mp3 player for under 50 pounds you should put some serious thought into buying one of these baby's. However, if you want to store thousands of songs im afraid you wont find that here.

Summary: If you want a good, affordable, small mp3 player then look no further.
