General Comments

First MP3 player that I've owned and a great introduction. Really easy to set up and get working, was out and about with it the next day. Came with Rio Music Manager which is the best music software I've used, and also with 10 free downloads at Napster, again this was simple to set up. Loading music is quick and easy. 5GB of space (2500 tracks) give plenty of space yet is brilliant to navigate. Also includes voice recorder. 20 Hours of battery time and recharging is not too lengthy a process.
Now I have compared it with other makes I am still confident, it is the smallest 5GB player I've seen and has a considerably better sound quality than most. I would not switch it for the world.
