General Comments

The Nokia portable MP3 music player is fantastic for it's size. The AAA size battery provides over an hours worth of playback.

The supplied 32MB MMC storage medium is somewhat small compared to other SSD methods, but by using the AAP method of compression (on supplied CD) it is possible to compress CD audio even smaller than with MP3 compression, and have it still 'listenable' Having the MP3s @ 96K sample rate means the player is limited to around 9 tracks, and that's if they're 3 minute 'single' length tracks.

The hands free operation and voice tag activiation with Nokia phones is a bonus, so you can stop the music when answering a call, or even dial by 'talking' to the music player, which communicated with compatible phones and then dials.

Respect given for Tootle.'s review.

    By owning a Nokia music player, i look no further to to anything else. It has everything a Music fan could ask for.

    Commenting on the small memory, i managed to fit on 17 tracks onto mine with 32Mb memory, also 3-4 mins per track.
    This is because i choose to load my songs off CD. You can do this with the software provided with the player. It compresses the track, making it only about 1.8Mb per track. -Much better! Then just load it to your player through that. If your still stuck,or dont know what i mean, email me and il get bak to you :
