| Apple iPod 5GB for Mac – 1st Generation [M8513B/A] |

Essential
Im a mac user who has owned an iPod for six months now and Ive had no problems with it. Theres a couple of specific points Id like to state for the record:(1) The software now on iPods has ironed out the bugs mentioned elsewhere in these reviews and now includes an equaliser. (2) The fact that the machine is updatable through downloads from the apple site means that the machine I bought six months ago has more capabilities than when I bought it. E.G. The addition of the equaliser, also you can store and display a full address book on your iPod. (3) I am a very snobby audiophile. The iPod sounds great. And unlike every other portable audio product, it doesnt come bundled with bad headphones. (4) It sounds better than minidisc. Trust me. (5) It is durable and does not skip. I regularly take it to the gym. Sure, it gets scratched but youre USING it, duh! Enjoy it! You cant live in a glasshouse! (6) It is the size of a pack of cards. Note that there is a 10Gb version now out, but 5Gb is a lot of music. This is the best thing ever!

Getting better and better...
This 5gb iPod is the first generation release, so some of the reviews below are a bit dated. I bought the 10Gb version in July, and coverted 200 of my CDs to MP3 - a whole music collection in my pocket. And it IS pocket sized. I bought a case with the iPod, but very rarely use it. Ive found it very robust in use, and easy to clean if you want to preserve that gorgeous finish. Sound is excellent, and it makes an excellent juke box if you plug it into your amp...or car stereo. Two minor caveats - could do with a remote control to avoid taking it out of your shirt pocket, and the earphones get a little uncomfortable after a couple of hours. Of course, the 20Gb version is now out, with a remote control and improved headphones, and totally compatible with PCs for the same price. Dont you hate it when that happens?Simply the best mp3 player around if you can afford it. And if you cant, save up until you can...

The Apple iPod is the best thing since sliced bread. =0)
Ok. You MUST get an Apple iPod. They rock!!! They make a GREAT mp3 player and a great backup firewire hard drive as well. =0)
You can fit up to 4000 songs on your iPod which is extremely handy if you have a lot of travelling to do and dont want to cart around 400 CDs. Its also great to use as a backup device. And I cant stress how WONDERFUL the headphones and remote are. Make sure you buy one, you wont regret it. =0)The iPod rulz!!!!
P.S. The bundled iTunes 3 software is also terrific. It allows you to download online audio books.

Sony D-CJ01 Silver MP3 CD Walkman

P>This Sony is really great... I got it earlier today and its played all the MP3s Ive thrown at it perfectly. The size, sound and build quality are great, and it does NOT skip! It lacks some features which were cool on the Rio - m3u/winamp playlist support, memories for the last 10 discs used, upgra..

The Rio Volt SP250 is a neat, portable digital-audio CD player which handles MP3 and WMA tracks as well as standard audio CDs. It includes an FM tuner, too. Portable MP3 players have been around for a while and CD-based Walkman-style devices much longer than that, but a player which combines the two is more of a novelty. Rio Volts SP250 is the top model in a range of digital audio players which aims to play just about anything you drop into it. This is a versatile device. For a start, it can ..

Logix EVzone Clik Mp3 Player
|
The Logix Clik certainly isnt the smallest or lightest MP3 player you can find, but then it does much more than most digital music players. As well as playing MP3 and Windows Media files (WMA), this chunky silver player lets you record on the move, carry an address book (download it as CSV), check the date and time and copy files to and from the 40 MB of storage you get. And when thats full, you can either delete files using the eVzone Manager software, or pop in another Iomega Clik! disk and us..
