This is my first MP3 player, but I did some reseach about them before I purchased the frontier labs L1 product. It is a good product for your money. I have enjoyed using it. The product is small and comes with a carrying case with belt clip. It also has software to help add songs to the player. The player is easy to use and songs are easy to find. One thing that I didn't like was the need to use a little adapter to use headphones that don't come with the player. The sound quality has been great. I am not 100% sure if the battery life is as long as they suggest, but it has been ok so far. Overall, I have been extremely happy with the purchase.

This Frontier Labs L1 20GB HDD portable mp3 player is the second HDD player that I own. L1 is much smaller than my Nomad. The sound is great and it also has a line-in recording so I can just record directly from my stereo to the unit bypassing the PC. Overall, it is very good. It is easy to control with one jog at the front of the player. The overall feel is a very solid player as it is made from metal not plastic.
