Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB New Bright Blue (2nd Generation)

BACKGROUND: I am an experienced mp3 player user, and my current other unit is a SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player (Black).

SanDisk Sansa Express 1 GB MP3 Player (Black)

Bought it about six months ago. $30, great deal! It definitely has its idiosyncrasies, but I was able to get around most of them. I used it mainly for listening to netcasts, shows which run anywhere from 15 minutes to over three hours. After a short while, some of the buttons just stopped working. For instance, the fast-forward button refused to respond, so I would have to use the fast-reverse if read more..

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2 GB MP3 Player with Built-in Speaker and Clip (Black)

This little thing does so many things, it is incredible. But does it give you a good user experience? It depends. I can imagine a teen who has nimble fingers maneuvering over those little buttons and constantly changing menus, but I bought it for my dad who would like to listen to some recorded educational materials and to record certain lectures and messages. I searched all over to analyze the fe read more..

Creative Zen X-Fi 16 GB Video MP3 Player with Wireless LAN and Built-In Speaker

Expensive, outstanding sound, radio not a feature I will use due to reception where I live. Somewhat easy to use but not as easy or idiot proof as the $30-40 MP3s. Have yet to use the more exotic features, such as playing videos, IMs, wireless, but eventually I plan to. read more..

iAUDIO I7-16RD 16GB Portable Multimedia Player Red

Like Stephen Hawking, this player is brilliant but trapped in an uncooperative body. The ONLY reason to buy this player is for the unreal battery life. If you're someone that needs to be untethered as much as possible, this is the player to have. Short of a player that uses disposable batteries, the iAudio7 is in a class of it's own. The manufacturer claims the battery life to be 50-60 hours (Cow read more..

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Pink)

The MP3 player itself is great, the features, the software, the device, however I bought it in October 2007 and it broke in summer 2008. It just stopped working while I was listening to it, and never came back on. It was under warranty so I got a replacement, but still with the expensive price, you would expect it to last longer than 7 or 8 months. read more..
