Advantages: Easy on the eye, Quality sound, nice interface

Disadvantages: Poor headphones, proprietary software needed for transfer

To me this is the ultimate workhorse MP3 player. I have owned one for 5 years now and it is still going strong. The sound quality is excellent and the interface is simple once you get used to it. I have to admit that I quickly replaces the supplied headphones with some nice in ear noise cancellers, but the original pair served their purpose adequately. The player comes with a handy lock switch to avoid accidental button presses and I find this works well. The 20 Gb capacity means that most people can put their entire music collection on and the transfer process is fairly smooth. One complaint that I do have is that transfer relies on software as opposed to plugging it in and it being recognised by your PC as a drive. The user interface is intuitive and flexible with the touch strip in the middle being very sensitive. At first that gave me problems as it was a bit all or nothing, but after some practice it soon became instinctive. The product itself is well finished in a brushed silver and white casing with a nice blue glow screen.

Summary: Great workhorse that stands the test of time
