General Comments

Got this in the States last year. WOW! Think it's a fantastic system. I didn't want to be another ipod person, but it really is great. I have so much music on HDD that to have a system which I can pull music onto is good. I got this as a replacement to my old MP3 player (which some one put between their legs while on the M25,on a motorbike!).

There are a couple of downsides;
1 - you need the apple iTunes to transfer the music. Yes, MP3 can be directly transferred as if the iPod is a usb drive, but it doesn't play the music.
2 - you have no idea who is singing sometimes!

I like the feature through iTunes to autofil the shuffle with songs - then I can hear songs I've not heard for years!

The sound quality is so good through this. I don't use the iPod headphones, I have some sound reduction headphones of my own. The volume does not have to be loud to hear great music. There is no graphic equaliser, so that'll be a bad side too.

Haven't yet run out of battery on the go - the battery lasts for 12 hours, and I have about 250 songs on it at the moment.

I would recommend it for a small, hidden easy to use digital music player.
