Advantages: Small, Easy to use, Functions, Radio

Disadvantages: Size of storage

I cannot speak highly enough of this MP3 player. Having purchased it for £140 when it first arrived on the scene nearly 3 and a half years ago, and it being my first MP3 player, I was worried about how it would work.

I was relieved on the week of purchasing that PC World rated it as the best MP3 player on the market.

Although only 256mb (approximately 8-10 albums dependent on their length) it is incredibly easy to use, navigate your way around, download tunes and also carry with it being so tiny.

The functionality of the system only requires a 7 mb take up leaving you 249mb to play with. The functions are minimal but everything that you would expect from graphic equalisers, back light functions, sleep ability and radio tuner.

One of the best functions is the ability to record from the radio. Although small capacity this ensures that any songs heard can immediately be recorded by one single button press.

The sound quality is dependent on the quality of the MP3 download. Anything lower than 128k will not be very good quality however the norm of 192k will provide you with good sound quality.

The navigation comes from a little push in and wiggle button that changes the volume, track, and navigates the menus.

The only negative is the 256mb, only entitles 8-10 albums but the standard MP3 player now is 4-10gb.

Summary: A excellent first purchase of an MP3 player
