Good Points: Memory card, price.
Bad Points: Latest versions not having the same bass sound as the earlier ones.
General comments: The latest version is a lot more tinny compared to the ones available in 2006 with not much bass, random play is not what it should be, it keeps playing tracks in the order they are on the SD card despite setting RAN (random play) in the display. The black 1G memory one is even tinnier. Just a note on SD card use, I found that 1G is the maximum you can use in total, I.E.: if you have 40mb of music on the inbuilt flash memory you lose the last 40mb of music from the end of the SD card even though they are still there and show up on the computer's screen they won't show up on the mp3 player's screen, that I find a dammed cheek, what do they think we buy the SD cards for? I've decided to pay out for a better model, but the original version of the Alba as made before 2007 was OK.

I was disappointed, but soon got the hang of copying my cd's onto it instead - the only problem being I've now got 82 songs on it and it's ful ...

This is my second MP3 player since the Matsunichi one I bought suddenly stopped working after about 3 months of solid performance. As a frequent Gym user, I found my MP3 player to be an invaluable piece of equipment when faced with the prospect of working out while listening to the Gym owner's abysmal CD collection.
So off I went looking for a cheap MP3 player.
Imagine my surprise when I saw this ALBA model for £19.99! Yes, 20 quid for a 256Mb MP3 player. Without trying to compare i ...
