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

Samsung YH-820 review

The YH-820 is smaller than the iPod Mini and has a colour screen you can view photos on -- but its audio performance and music transfer software hamper its chances against the big beast of the MP3 player market Read more

Datasafe oomi (2GB) review

The oomi battles hard for the title of the smallest MP3 player in the world, but is narrowly edged out by the new clip-on iPod Shuffle. Nonetheless, the oomi offers a small LCD screen, which the Shuffle does not, as well as protected WMA support, voice recording and an FM radio Read more

Inovix IMP-5500 IPocket (1GB) review

Inovix's IMP-5500 IPocket is a 1GB MP3 player that's designed to be almost an exact replica of Apple's iPod nano, except for the omission of the Click Wheel. The IPocket, however, is coated with a finish that is difficult to scratch, so if you like to keep your MP3 player in tip-top condition this could be the one for you Read more

Ministry of Sound MP3 FM Stix (512MB) review

For a player that looks and feels cheap, the Stix doesn't sound bad at all. Pre-loaded with Ministry favourites, this little player's sound quality is hardly subtle, but perfect for bass-heavy dance anthems Read more

Jens of Sweden MP-500 (1GB) review

A genuine novelty, the MP-500 is a flash MP3 player with built-in speakers, video playback and a smooth design. We wouldn't recommend playing your music through the speakers while on public transport, though -- you may be violently silenced by irate fellow commuters Read more

mobiBLU DAH-1900 (2GB) review

A quite astonishing battery life of 153 hours -- that's ten times the iPod's stamina -- can't mask the DAH-1900 (aka B153)'s flaws. The battery, unsurprisingly, is vast, which distorts the shape of the player, and the interface is difficult to use. Worst of all, though, the audio quality is utterly dismal Read more

Hard-drive based MP3 players

So, you're in the market for a hard-drive MP3 player? Well, they might claim to be hard drives, but you're unlikely to catch any of them tearing themselves out of their Dixons packaging and rampaging about, smashing and terrifying the toasters in aisle three. There's a good reason for this: hard drives are actually mechanical devices that store your music on platters that spin at high speed -- like a really, really clever record player... Read more

MP3 players to say "I love you"

According to Baz Lurman's Moulin Rouge, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return". Of course 19th century Paris hadn't been exposed to rampant consumer capitalism yet... Read more
