Advantages: Loadsatunes!, Great Sound, Good Looks

Disadvantages: Heavy and Bulky

Got this product (the 30Gb) version for Xmas last year, so have been using for about a year now.

It has genuinely changed the way I listen to music - the enormous memory means that I don't have to make choices, I carry all of my CDs - approx 400 around in my pocket

We recently moved house and didn't connect our stereo up for a couple of months, but was able to use the Jukebox with a pair of Bose media mates for great sound

The volume is a bit low, as it is limited, but you can download the US firmware and it gets rid of the limiter and is plenty loud enough

The sound is very good, although the supplied headphones are not great - upgrade to something like Sennheiser MX500 and you will be blown away how good this is

Battery life is very good - several hours between charges - I estimate about 10

Basically it doesn't look as good as an iPod, but for the money, you can get a lot more storage if this is important to you (it is to me as it means I don't have to choose which songs to take with me - I just take them all)

You can also get a replacement battery (~£10 on eBay)

Also plays WMA as well as MP3s, so good choice of stores for downloading

Summary: Great sound and storage in a sturdy package
