Advantages: Small & Light, Good Sound Quality, Cheap as Chips

Disadvantages: Build Quality, Poor headphones Supplied, No internal memory

This is a very small piece of kit about the size and weight of a matchbox
This is a very basic MP3 player that uses Compact Flash Cards
There are only a few Controls Play/Stop , Next Track, Previous Track, Vol up and down
Hold and On/off
Music Quality However is Excellent (with a good pair of headphones)
This is a fantastic way of listening to MP3s' on the go and on the cheap.
You need to have a compact flash card and reader in order to load music files.
As there is no built in memory you have to insert the memory card pre loaded with tracks in the top of the player.
It's a great way to get more use from the compact flash card in your digital camera if you have one.
It takes AAA size batteries ( I recomend NIMH rechargables as high a capacity as you can find)
Battery life is ok
Build quality is nothing special it is rather plasticky.
Though I Have been using mine for a year now to and from work it looks a bit scruffy but it still works fine.
Great for jogging as there are no moving parts and very little weight.
These seem to be incredibly hard to find, I got mine on ebay but they are not always available
Unbeatable value for money if you already use C/F cards for other purposes.
