Before going out and buying this product I decided to do a lot of research on similar ones on the market. I wanted an MP3 player that could hold at least 20GB of data that was under £250, but there is a high price to pay for such facilities. There are 3 types of MP3 players on the market: 1) Ones that are similar to Personal CD players, although they could play MP3 data that was recorded to a CD-R. These players were the same size as a standard personal CD player. The only thing is, would you really want to write a CD every time you wanted to listen to your latest MP3s? 2) Ones that require flash memory that was merely 64MB,128MB, 256MB ...  Read the complete review

Guess who's back... Back again... Missbrowneyedgirl's back... With her Jukebox Zen! Hello everyone! I haven't been too far away and I've still been reading here, I just haven't been inspired enough to tell you any tales. Until now that is.... Now, those of you who remember will, will know well how much I love music in most way shapes or forms and particularly on MP3.

Hang on, I'll back track a bit. For those of ...  Read the complete review

I bought two Jukeboxes last Christmas from Amazon, for myself and my son. They were then £199 for the 30Gb model. It came with (rather smart) leather case, rechargeable battery which gives about 14 hours continuous play, USB cable and disc for the programme which you use to load the player with tunes - or data, if you wish. The sound quality is astonishing - and I am assured it is rather better than the iPod. The function buttons and the menu scrolling is simplicity itself. Playlists can be created, there is a "shuffle" feature so that you can listen to any of the thousands of tracks randomly, and many other features. A simple lead, bought ...  Read the complete review

This 40GB model connects to a computer with USB 2.0 which means that you can upload about a song a second. However if your computer only has USB 1.0 then you will get reduced upload speeds. Like i did, to remedy this it is possible to buy a PCI card with 2 or 4 USB 2.0 ports! And it is also Firewire compatable. 40GB is a huge space, considering most MP3's are only a few megabites large! If you can't fill all the space you can also transfer data files from your pc for safe keeping using it a bit like an external hard drive. The LCD display is a fair size, making it far easier to read than some of the cheeper MP3 players The software that ...  Read the complete review
