Apple iPod classic review
Coming in 80GB and 160GB capacities, the new Apple iPod classic can hold a massive archive of music and video. There's no need to pick and choose which music goes with you, even if you rip CDs at the very highest lossless quality. The interface has been given a lovely Cover Flow makeover, too Read more

Apple iPod classic (2nd gen) review
Apple's done it again -- its new 120GB iPod classic is a cut above the rest. This edition has more features, such as the Genius playlist tool, and allows you to watch very high-quality video on its 640x480-pixel resolution screen. As with all iPods, you'll have to stick with iTunes, and spring for better headphones, but still, this gadget rocks Read more

Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond review
This could very well be the best Samsung MP3 player to date. Not only is it remarkably affordable at £99 for 16GB, but with support for lossless FLAC audio, BBC iPlayer, FM radio, drag-and-drop file management and a cracking little screen, it's going on our list of Samsung successes Read more

Sony Walkman NWZ-A815 review
We are happy to report that both high prices and Sony's SonicStage software are nowhere to be seen on the new range of A-Series players. Instead, you'll get a heap of high-quality codecs that can be organised with the utmost simplicity. Simple to use and great looks -- now who wouldn't be happy? Read more

Sony NWZ-S639F Walkman review
Sony's NWZ-S639F Walkman S series is an affordable model that delivers. It supports BBC iPlayer downloads, so you can take full advantage of its crisp -- albeit small -- screen. Its stylish design and incredibly easy-to-use navigation system is coupled with superb Sony sound quality, making this MP3 player music to our ears Read more

Cowon Q5W review
Cowon's Q5W could be Holy Grail of media players -- or more specifically, video players. It boasts unprecedented compatibility with file formats and terrific performance, in addition to many levels of customisation, making it a must-see choice for anyone who demands everything for their video Read more

Cowon S9 review
The S9's main strengths are its sensitive touchscreen, great features and superb sound quality. Despite a disappointing lack of AAC support and an average user interface, it's Cowon's best MP3 player to date, although it's not as great a threat to the iPod touch as the company might like Read more

iRiver B20 review
Besides MP3s, the iRiver B20 plays both DAB and FM radio. A massive 170mm telescopic aerial swivels around the back to provide excellent sound quality for when you're in transit. It also has a built-in voice recorder, flash games and an alarm, making this a fully-stocked player Read more
