Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB) review

Given the recent launch of Apple's iPod nano, the Creative Zen Nano -- which came out first -- is very unfortunately named. This is unfair, as they're aimed at different markets -- the Zen Nano is half the price, has only 1GB of memory and a small black-and-white screen. It offers decent sound and it's perfectly usable, but the build quality's not all it could be Read more

Philips SA9345 review

If you want a simple and good-sounding audio player, don't overlook this Philips SA9345. It incorporates an FM radio besides protected and unprotected MP3 and WMA play. Get your finger on its Superscroll function to simply fly through your music. How could you brush off a feature like that? Read more

Dolphin DAP (1GB) review

The Dolphin DAP MP3 player is an innovative waterproof player that should appeal to surfers and swimmers that want some tunes to follow them into the water Read more

Samsung YP-U1 (2GB) review

The Samsung YP-U1 is a USB key-style player. Unlike the iPod Shuffle, the U1 has a small LCD, which provides enough track information to give you an idea of what you're listening to. This, combined with the extra storage, makes it a strong contender if you're after a small, light MP3 player Read more

Transcend T.sonic 610 (1GB) review

Transcend's flash-based T.sonic 610 packs music and a decent set of features into a convenient package at a reasonable price. It's very compact and boasts a usable metallic design, so it's a shame the overall performance is only mediocre and Transcend overlooked DRM support Read more

Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB) review

Apple's latest iPod shuffle line-up offers two storage capacities -- 2GB or 4GB -- and five colours. Apart from that, it's business as usual. But that's not necessarily a bad thing -- the shuffle's tiny dimensions are certainly pleasing, and its basic feature set will appeal to those who appreciate simplicity Read more

Samsung YP-U5 review

Those seeking an affordable secondary MP3 player could do far worse than the YP-U5. Its battery life is good, it offers above-average sound quality and it supports a decent range of audio formats, although AAC is notably missing. A fitness app also makes it well-suited to gym fanatics Read more

Apple iPod Shuffle (2nd generation) review

The latest iPod Shuffle is a decent player that offers a sleek, compact form factor in five shiny colours, an excessively simple user interface and a low price. Fans of ultraportable gadgets will no doubt be drawn to it, but audiophiles beware Read more

Apple iPod shuffle (3rd generation, 4GB) review

The third-generation iPod shuffle is the smallest MP3 player currently available, and only slightly larger than a paper clip. While its unobtrusive design feels sturdy and the voice feature that tells you what you're listening to is useful, quirky controls mean it won't be for everyone Read more

Creative Zen Stone review

Creative's Zen Stone is an 'us too!' attempt to knock Apple's iPod Shuffle from the throne of teeny MP3 king. At just under £30, it's half the price of the Shuffle, but is it too cheap to be any good? Read more
