Bin your ipod - Sony's the way forward!!!!
I wasn't looking for anything flash - just a straightforward mp3 player with an FM radio, good sound quality and plenty of memory for my cd collection, but I've found that models with loads of memory tend to be of a high spec with video playback, bluetooth etc. which I'll never use. I also wanted an mp3 player that could be charged at the mains as well as via a USB so if I didn't have access to a pc and the battery was low, I could still get to charge it.

I spent ages comparing different brands, models and prices and I found that mp3 players with radios are few and far between and there don't appear to be any mp3 players in the market with tonnes of memory specifically for music and radio so maybe that's something that manufacturers can take into consideration when designing future models for customers not wanting all singing, all dancing players!

The Sony NWZ-S618FBLK more than meets my requirements.

Although I won't use the video playback feature, there is a sample video included and the picture is so crisp - very impressive!

The sound quality is excellent and you have the option of choosing your own settings which is very useful.

Downloading music couldn't be easier. (Even my computer illerate parents can do it!!) You simply drag and drop using Windows Explorer or syncronize the device with Windows Media Player.

The only disappointing aspect is that you have to buy a mains adapter separately for £20 (Boo!)

I've been recommending this mp3 player to anyone who'll listen. I love it!!!!

THE best MP3 player - forget Ipod !!
I was looking for an mp3 player with the intelligent menu functions and storage offered by the Ipods, but with a few extra features such as radio. I also didnt want to be locked into I-Tunes. I found all I could ever want in my sony mp3 player. I love it !! My friends who have ipods are now jealous and thinking of ditching their ipods for a sony. It is so easy to use without even reading the manual. Colours and icons are crisp and clear, sound quality is excellent, simply synch using windows media player, or drag and drop using windows explorer. It is really small and slim too - smaller than a credit card and about 4 x the thickness. Shame it doesnt come with a cover and strap - can be bought seperately as accessories. I wasnt bothered by the lack of separate charger as I have loads already, and this charges fully from empty within 3 hours plugged into the laptop usb (the cable is included in the box). You wont regret buying this mp3 player

Best ever MP3 player - ditch your IPOD!!
I must admit to never owning an IPOD, i've always stuck to small storage MP3 players, my previous player only had 1GB storage and I was getting fed up with continually deleting tracks to make room for new music. I've been put off purchasing an IPOD as I think there over rated and I don't like having to use Apples own software for transferring music.

I saw this player advertised in Argos for £59.99 and went for it after reading the great reviews. Its only my second day using it and i'm completely over the moon with it! The sound quality is second to none, there are lots of Graphic Equalizer settings and surround sound/ Xtra Bass too. Copying music over is just a breeze using either simple "drag & Drop" with Windows explorer or you can use Windows Media Player, it comes complete with a disc with Media Player 11 on it which is recommended as previous versions don't work as well. I prefer to use drag & drop, so easy your granny could do it!!

So far I have copied across most of my music and I have barely used 4GB, so I have almost another 4GB to use. On top of this you can view MP4 video and JPEG photos on the small but very versatile screen.

Its just brilliant!!
