The Archos Jukebox 6000 answers the major criticism levelled at MP3 players, that of storage space. With a 6GB internal hard drive the Jukebox can store around 100hrs of CD-quality music (128kbps). It also has the advantage of doubling as a portable USB hard drive. When you first open the box it is essential that you charge the unit fully before proceeding with any other tasks. Failure to do so will cause problems, such as the drive locking up your PC. The Jukebox comes with a mains adaptor, carry case, earphones, driver disc and USB lead. Once charged, installation is straightforward, simply a matter of following the brief instruction manual. The Jukebox appears within your PC as an additional drive, dynamically assigned a letter, which you can then drag and drop files onto. Software is provided for creation and manipulation of MP3 files in the form of MusicMatch. The player itself is compact, rugged, but still on the heavy side. The audio quality is poor through the supplied earphones and we would suggest replacing these at your earliest opportunity. The menu navigation on the backlit LCD display can be cumbersome, though the use of playlists does help, as does judicious searching on the Internet, which reveals some handy menu shortcuts that the manual fails to mention. Hopefully the firmware upgradeability of the device will be put to good effect to iron out some of these niggles. The Archos Jukebox 6000 is not a perfect solution, but its combination of features at a great price make it well worth considering. --J Weston |

The MS957 is a reliable performer for serious amateur and semi-professional use. It has two settings for stereo sound field width. The narrower (90 degrees) gives good spacial positioning; in the wide setting, peripheral sounds are captured with good definition, but central sounds are sometimes not .. 
The FV-120 is a cheap vocal microphone good for a beginner to amplified singing. It has a handy 3 metre long cord and couldnt be more simple to use. One thing that struck me was how light it was, which makes it feel more of a toy than a real microphone. The design is fairly standard, quite dull real..

Philips CDR 775 audio CD recorder brings high-speed recording and hard-wired convenience to a new level of affordability. The deck works equally well as a recorder and as a player, thanks to its abundant hook-up options. It doesnt muster the stellar quality from its analogue outputs that youll find in pricier CD recorders and players, though the digital outputs sound fine. 
The Yamaha SW1000XG is no ordinary sound card--manufactured by one of the leading audio equipment companies this is a card designed and made especially for musicians. Lets get things clear: this isnt a card for die-hard gamers. With no game port, no standard 1/8" audio jacks, no fancy surround sound support and not even an audio CD pass through, this card has been created with an entirely different job in mind.
