Sony NWZS616FPNK 4GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Pink): Works with itunes

I bought this to replace an old iPod mini. The battery in this is incredible - I can go for weeks without charging it, and I use it at least five days a week.

You can definitely still use iTunes with this Walkman. It can play M4A files, which are what type of files are created by iTunes when you import a cd. If you buy music from the iTunes store, they will be M4P files (unless they are the new DRM-free format.) You can just burn your M4P files onto a cd and import the cd back into iTunes. You can open your iTunes music folder and drag and drop the songs onto your Walkman as though it were a memory stick. Very handy.

Apple iPod nano - 8GB - Pink: This is apple's another success

Apple continues to blow away other manufacturers' media players with substantial, steady improvements to what are already great products. If you're an iPod fan already, you can be smug in the knowledge that this one sets the bar just that much higher.

The 2-inch, 320 x 240 screen of the new Nano, when it's sitting on my airline tray table, turns out to be about the same angular size as my TV when I watch it from my sofa at home. Cool! The picture quality is gorgeous, reminiscent of an iPhone.

The new Nano features a 24-hour battery life when used as a music player, and a 5-hour battery life when watching video, so you can watch at least a couple of full-length movies on a full charge. This is slightly shorter than the battery life on my 80GB (5th Gen.) video iPod, but it's a smaller unit, with a smaller battery. Makes sense.

The new split-screen operating system is slick. Now you can view all the details about a track in one glance, instead of waiting for the information to slowly scrawl past you.

As a gadget nut, and a fan of good design wherever I find it, I'm constantly impressed with the attention to detail evident in Apple's multimedia devices. The new Nano lives up to its predecessors nicely.

My older iPods are getting jealous. I think you'll love this thing.

Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black): Almost prefect, I love this

I bought the Creative Zen Player as a Valentine's gift for my wife so that we could take our pictures and videos with us anywhere. I created a playlist and a slideshow before I wrapped it. She cried when she looked at our wedding pictures and listened to the playlist at the same time, right in the middle of the restaurant. Oh, yeah, the Creative Zen Player works great, it is very easy to use, navigate and customize.

Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black): Great Mini Gizmo

Capt. bilgewater — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 15:07:05 +0100

Got it for my grandaughter because I am so happy with my 60 Gig Zen M and my son is so tickled with his 30 Gig Zen M. Obviously, there is less "storage" space on it, but heck, it holds plenty of songs, takes an SD (sandisk) for photos or extra storage, and connects to FM Radio. It's super thin, too. My son loaded for her, just as easy as I loaded mine. She is happier than a pig in doo doo (which means that we are ALL happy too--because an unhappy 15 year old teenage girl is not a good thing. I mean, you just don't wanna go there).

Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black): Who needs an ipod?

When it comes to MP3 players, I demand a relatively seamless user experience and just enough storage capacity that I don't have to delete songs every time I add new ones, both at a reasonable price (ie: not an iPod). I'm also not an early adopter, preferring to wait for at least a few months of user reviews, but the aptly named Zen caught my eye when it was released and, to my delight, met all three of my criteria.

The Creative Media Explorer and ZENcast Organizer software make syncing and managing my content -- music, pictures, videos, podcasts, Outlook contacts, calendar and tasks -- a snap with relatively intuitive interfaces. Plus, the 4GB storage is more than enough for the average user, while the 8GB and 16GB versions are perfect for power users. As advertised, it's incredibly compact and sturdy enough to carry in your pocket; its screen is impressively sharp and bright; its audio quality is great, even with the included earphones; and its navigation is simple to use and customizable. My two favorite features are the aforementioned syncing of Outlook contacts, calendar and tasks -- my cell phone is for making phone calls, not listening to music! -- and the customizable "My Shortcut" button, which can be set to do one of a number of things, the most important of which is "Random Play All".

For the price and functionality -- not to mention it's one of the better looking MP3 players out there -- the Zen can't be beat. Who needs an iPod?

NOTE: I have a relatively new PC running Windows Vista and upgraded the Zen software via the ZENcast Organizer with no problems at all.

Coby MP-C582 Clip MP3 Player 1 GB - Red: Economical No nonsense MP3s

Pooler — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:12:45 +0100

I bought this for the purpose of having a cheap alternative to the Nano/Shuffle. It does that. It is a no-frills, no nonesense MP3, no LCD and the battery life is satisfactory. Only complaint would be the clip is not too functional if you intetnd on moving a lot - it will slip and fall off. But the function vs. price rating is very high.
