Advantages: Everything is built in
Disadvantages: Not as popular as the iPod/Zune

This player really has it all built in. Nice easy to navigate menu system and you can dload your playlist via WiFi. Listen to FM signals and better yet playback for your car/home is via a built-in FM transmitter. Of course, you can always go wired it you like. A little bigger than most, think earlier gen iPods, but it has a great tactile feel. Make sure you upgrade the firmware for the latest capabilities. In a highly competitive market they managed ...
...one package with no 'add-ons' etc to get lost or broken or have a bad connection as I have with the iPods etc. Dual head phone jacks are built-in by the way too. Headphones that come with it are nice behind the neck type of better quality than most pre-packaged headphones. Comes with a nice carrying case - as I said - it has it all included. ... Read review

Advantages: small and very lightweight
Disadvantages: No clip to hold onto clothes or display screen

It is only 1GB but, I find that what I need it for it is fine - it stills holds in the region of 250-300 songs depending on song length and the battery life is excellent. To charge the mp3 all you need to do is connect the USB cable from it to your pc ...
...you upload as it's as simple as plugging into the pc/laptop and it will detect it so that you can just drag songs onto it. The earphones it comes with are small and discreet and don't hurt my ears so big bonus there!

Advantages: Size, Weight, Ease of Use, Speaker
Disadvantages: ?

I love this little portable media player. I got it from Fry's Electornics for $49.99 with a $10 mail in rebate. One of the best $40 I have spent. Very lightweight, stores the amount of music I have currently with space for plenty more. I love the speaker feature that allows me to listen without headphones or plug headphones in and use them when I do not want to bother any one else with my music. The speaker achieves a nice volume level. I clean houses ...
...back pocket and be moving around quite a bit and still hear it very clearly. The menu is very easy to navigate and downloading music to it is a cinch also. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who does not want to pay hundreds of dollars for a popular brand but still desires quality. ... Read review
