Advantages: Very Small and last along time

Disadvantages: Too little memory for too high a price

I've had this MP3 player since August 2005, so that's 9 months now, and it has served me well. It was the first MP3 player I've had (and still is, not replaced it!) and i'll still have it for some time to come.
When I bought it, it was about £65 in Argos, but the price seems to have halved now, round abouts.

Since it was my first MP3 player, I didn't really know much about them when I first bought it. I was just browsing the MP3 player section in the Argos catelogue looking for an mp3 player. I wanted one that was reasonably priced (it was back then) and i picked this, as it also look appealing.

This MP3 player is only 256MB and, at the time of purchase, was very reasonable for the price, although now it would only be worth it if it was atleast a 512MB MP3 player, as times have changed.

Now, with it being only 256MB, you can't fit a lot of songs on, but saying that, this MP3 player can read MP3's and WMA's. So having all MP3's, it can fit on about 40-50, depending on the size, but that can be increased to around 100 songs, if you convert them to WMA, which the included software can do for you.

The software it comes with makes life so much easier when transfering your songs to the MP3 player, and when re-ordering them and compressing them.

Other features of this MP3 player are:
Radio: It is a relativly good radio. Can pick up most FM stations, although not my favourite local station.
Stores files: Can also be used as a memory stick, although I've never tried it as I have a memory stick/zip drive already.
Voice Recorder: This is fairly good, although not tried it in awhile.
CD-MP3: You can also transfer your music direct from CD to the MP3 player with the included line-in cable.

The box contains:
The MP3 player,
Earphones, (Beware! I would recommend buying new ones, as these can be abit dodgy sometimes)
AAA battery,
Installation CD,
Quick Start guide,
USB 2.0 cable,
Line-in cable,
Neck Strap.

If your looking for a great starter MP3 player, if you have from 50-100 songs, then I would definatly recommend this MP3 player for you. If not, try one of Creative's other, larger, MP3 players.

Summary: Excellent for 50-100 songs.
