Advantages: Small, Cheap, Shuffle Option, Radio, Recorder, Removeable Battery

Disadvantages: Okay, it's not the newest model in the shop...

My requirements for my mp3 player were simple: small; removeable battery; must have a shuffle/random function. The Zen Nano ticked all the boxes.

Of course, this was a wee while ago; there are fancier, pricier options available now. But if you're wanting a reliable all-rounder that's not going to cost the earth, I highly recommend it.

The Zen Nano is tiny. It takes AAA batteries, so you can easily carry a spare in your pocket and never worry about running out of power. It holds the best two to three songs from every single album in my rather sizeable collection - that's a whole lot of songs, so I'm constantly squeaking, "I love this song!!! I haven't heard it in ages!!! Yay!!!!" And it's really straightforward to use.

It also has an FM radio and can do in-line recording. Which are snazzy wee tricks, although I've never used them.

The only downsides are that when I upgraded to Windows Vista the software which I had wasn't compatible; I was able to download a patch from the Creative website, but if you want to simply stick in the CD-Rom and get going you might want to double check before you buy.

All in all, a great wee machine which is never out of my pocket these days. Love it.
