I have been the proud owner of a trusty Diamond Rio MP3 player for a couple of years now. It was an emerging technology when I originally bought it and since that time new products have come and gone and we where told that with the ‘demise’ of Napster that the digital music scene was dead. In this time though I have come to swear by my Rio and everyone should realise digital players are not just for ‘pirates’. The only problem was that despite having a reasonable amount of memory in it I could only get around 25 tracks on it. This wasn’t the end of the world as I did rotate the songs but I was on the lookout for something that could hold a ..  Read the complete review

I’ll admit it – I’m an MP3 aficionado. I’ve converted hundreds of albums so I can play them on my empeg player, and I’ve owned a variety of MP3 players, from the Diamond Rio to the MpTrip. However, when I got my Nomad Jukebox, I wondered if I really needed this gadget, or whether it was simply an extravagance that I could afford to do without. The thing is, three months later, I’m still wondering. The MP3 Format…The World’s A Stage ======================== Mention the MP3 format to anyone these days; your grandmother, people on the street, politicians, musicians, and you’ll get an array of opinions, ...  Read the complete review

The Creative Jukebox - the new way of listening to music? The rise in status, recognition and availability of MP3s has been startling. Many however say that MP3s are ruining music, making it so easy to download an album that people no longer go out and buy CDs. True that might be, but still I think that must people would like to own CDs, just to actually have something to look at, to hold and to show off. Can you do that with MP3s? I don't think so. I decided therefore to embrace this new way of listening to music. I bought the Creative D.A.P. Jukebox, the first one out on the market. It allows you to store some 1000 tracks, about 100 albums, or 100 ...  Read the complete review

What a great product - for years I have had about an hours journey each way from work on ublic transport, so I have been tied very closely to some form of personal audio over the years. Walkman - old technology, unreliable. Discman - reliable - but limited by the number of CD's you can carry. Plus antishock means that they sometimes jump. Minidisc - small light, but a pain to copy the tracks onto blanks. They also take ages to copy. Now along comes MP3 - quick to make - also once a song is ripped it stays on my hard disk ready for use. It is quick to copy the files onto the MP3 player, but up until now the capcity has been very limited. ...  Read the complete review
