Venturer40GB HDD MP3 PlayerHave owned mine for 2 years and its suddenly packed up, won`t charge or turn on. So I phoned the helpline and have sent it to the very helpful man who is fixing it for #40 regardless of cost. He said its the regulator that`s gone so I`m now waiting for it to come back upgraded as well! Still great value 2 years on, where else can you get a 40Gb player for #80 (#40 purchase and #40 to fix it!) 5 out of 5gezza07/09/2008 10:01:45

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 PlayerI bought mine off ebay for £20 and its been brilliant. Not only using for mpr but for transfering moive and data files from PC to PC it cant be beat. Unfortunatly I went to change it and plugged in the wrong adapter which was a higher voltage. P***ed off is not the word. Does any one know where I can get it repaired? 5 out of 5xBrito19/04/2008 08:36:25

SonyNWA808BGreat walkman. light-weight and slim. Feels good to hold with its sleek desogn. sound quality is great. only problem is, no covers can be bought for it. But thats ok, as it looks great and the design is so sleek, theres no need for a case,as it will hide the looks of this walkman. Sometimes easily mistaken as a very expensive and modern phone, but its all good :D All cover arts, personal photos and videos are displayed in amazing colour and quality. I recommend to all. A great buy. Been over 6 months now, hardly any scratches or colour wearing, and is still functioning as good as new. Battery life is great. 5 out of 5Sal_Krazyphilic27/03/2008 07:41:24

AcerMP330 20GBDisplay a bit basic it is packed with usfull features. For the money you`ll be hard pushed to match it, comes with all bells and whistles as standard, no shopping around for accessories after you bought it. Its not pretty and accessing tracks is a little ungainly. You have to treat it like an external HD to get the best from it. Deleting the album art, makes accessing tracks alot easier. I have 2 folders on mine (`backup files` from pc and `My Music`100 odd albums. 5 out of 5cider20/01/2008 17:39:01

sonyNWA805WI went to a number of high street shops after deciding I wanted this mp3 player but decided the price was too high. Amazon is selling it for £46 at the moment. I have not recived mine yet as I only ordered it yesterday but i have always purchased sony mp3 players and they all have provided great value for money and outstanding proformance. Forget following everyone else with ipods this mp3 player looks great and at £46 alot cheaper. I hope this helps. KJ 5 out of 5kj29/11/2007 09:54:54

PANASONICSVMP20VThis is an excellent mp3 player. I`ve had mine for almost three years, although I wish it maybe had a bit more space (28-33 songs average). This was my first mp3 player and I found it easy to use and the software simple to install. The price was also pretty good, I paid less than $200 for a great piece of equipment. 5 out of 5Rebecca02/11/2007 10:38:45

OLYMPUSm robe MR100 5GB MP3 PlayerI have owned my MR-100 for a couple of years now with no problems at all. I bought another two for my wife and daughter. After a few days one of the units failed to swithch on but was replaced by the Olympus dealer within days. The touch screen will undoubtedly become lightly scratched after time but a cheap screen protector film is ideal to maintain the great cosmetic appearance of the unit. I use my M:robe whilst cycling and the excessive wind noise proves challenging for the supplied earphones which have now been replaced with a set of Shure E2G `in ear` phones. The combination is outstanding and the volume reduced to a minimum level even when setting a pace on the bike. Very please with this product and would recommend to all. 5 out of 5Bob.17/07/2007 12:29:49

BushPSDAB2014MP3This product appears slightly larger when compared to normal mp3. But it aslo has DAB radio giving you a choice radio on the bus or in the park. Or using the Mp3 for tube commute to work. There is enough memory on the mp3 to for an average commute and the sound via the in-earphones is great. I used the windows XP to download tracks from my favourite albums and easy to use. The DAB radio reception varies where are, I got lots of radio stations are home or where got signal strength, otherwise best stations to hold signal were Talksport, virgin, BBc world service and some bbc stations.If you see this sign `?` next to radio station there poor or no signal in its current location. You also have option via the mode to transfer to FM radio. Other features, including ability to record from radio, your favourites, save up 20 stations, play by album, genre, artist etc. It in black so minises scratches and the central circular button controls the volume, menu function and is comfortable to hold. I purchased mine from Argos for £89.79 but am happy with it, as use it for the work commute, for background music when studying at home. Battery life been good too. 5 out of 5Charlie-gadget girl11/06/2007 09:29:44

RobertsRD15I must admit that I am a bit of a DAB junkie and the Robert RD15 is my forth! I also have two ASDA specials (one for the kitchen and one for the office), additionally I have fitted my car with an excellent Sony head unit and so the Roberts is my forth. I have owned Roberts radios in the past and after going to Comet and touching, playing and fiddling with about 15 radios, this little Roberts unit stood out for the money. It feels well made with quality plastics and the buttons felt nice to the touch. The layout of the controls is simple and logical and took me about 30 seconds to automatically tune in about 20 stations (I live in Cornwall and it picks up all the stations that I should get). Compared to my other portable radios, this one locks onto a station very quickly and confidently (sometimes I don`t even need to pull out the arial). The sound is excellent for the size of radio and gives a nice strong sound, ideal for my fav station 6Music and for speech on BBC7. Although it has only 5 presets, the slick scrolling buttons makes navigation simple and quick so this isn`t a problem. Battery life (this is important to me as I use it for listening while I`m out and about) is excellent; using 4 x D batteries, I have been playing the radio for 6 hours a day for 7 days now and it`s still sounding fine (the unit also comes with a mains adaptor). The large scrolling display is easy to read and doesn`t flicker like cheaper radios. The negatives; it would have been nice to have had a stereo outputs to feed into my home amplifier (even my Acoustic Solutions Portal 1 has it) but to be honest I use my Sky+ for radio in the front room so this isn`t such a loss for me. Conclusion; A great, well built radio with excellent battery life, and a good sound for all types of listening. Very recommended 5 out of 5Steve29/05/2007 08:10:35

PhilipsPSS110 256MBJust bought one of these amazing little players. you can now truly say `size isn`t everything` super cool exterior about the size and shape of a large chocolate eclair, great longevity from the built in battery and a truly stunning sound from such a small device, combine this with a built in radio and line-in for external devices such as an ipod. The display is crisp and clear with an intuative menu. In the box you get all the leads you need USB, Mini jack to Mini jack, mini arial lead, mains adaptor and a sturdy case which looks a little like a brushed titanium hot-dog. The only real downside is the software used for transfer (musicmatch) which can be a bit tricky, a big tip before you try and transfer any files UPDATE THE DEVICE PLUGIN, some clever person has wrote a great little program called `shockbox buddy` the software is free and enbles you to transfer files via most file browsers i.e. windows explorer. The only other downside side to an almost perfect little gadget is the lack of a memory expansion slot but with the inclusion of an input from an external player this isn`t a major problem. If you SEE, LISTEN and TOUCH you`ll want one. 5 out of 5JaMoKeTaC27/05/2007 08:28:30

AcerMP330 10GBWith a strong, sturdy build, a music playback quality playback that easily beats the Apple(R) iPod, and a classy leather clip case thrown in, this is an outstanding portable media player. If you`re buying an MP3 player for a nice colourful interface, touch-sensitive pads and flashy games, this isn`t for you. The monochrome LCD screen isn`t exactly it`s most exciting feature. However, if you`re after a sturdy media player that won`t break in your back pocket or have an ever-decreasing battery life, look no further. It does what it`s meant to do. Well. What more can you want? 5 out of 5Impressive09/03/2007 10:56:01

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 PlayerI bought one of these for £49.99 6 months ago and it`s brilliant - only snag was when I was playing it in my car and accidentally trod on the cable causing the headphone socket to break. Took ages to find someone to repair it and it still didn`t work properly. But had a brainwave and got another one on ebay for £50 and now use the original as a portable 40gb HDD drive for my laptop. I`ve been putting music on it for 8 months and still have 10gb to spare. If you can find one anywhere get it, it`s a bargain. Shame they`ve stopped making them. Wonder when anyone else will bring out a 40gb player for £50..... 5 out of 5venturerfan28/02/2007 19:15:17

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 PlayerGreat player... But at the moment I have a little problem with it ... read on.. Hi, I`ve had the venturer 40gb mp3 player (model HDP3202BS) for around a year now but just recently encountered an error while starting up, with the message `no systems files` showing. Thinking I was knowing what I was doing and frustrated that I couldn`t get to the format option on the player I resorted to wiping it on my computer, along with, I believe around 38gb worth of music. Problem was, it formatted but didn`t complete and now everytime I click the drive in my computer I am asked to format, which as always never completes.All I`m getting now whenever I start the thing is `system error` too. However it still connect to the computer via usb. Fortunetely, I have the firmware for the player stored on my computer, yet need to format the player to drag that and the contents of the system folder into the drive. In doing this I`m in the thinking it will give the player new life. How can I format this thing? I`ve also noticed that the hdd size has shrunk from 40gb to just 2gb for some reason. Why is this so? Could you please give me guidance on these issues. The player was a gift so I cannot take it back to the store. Please help. email me bocsite@mail.com if you can help me 5 out of 5venturerlover09/02/2007 09:24:27

AppleiPod Nano 2GB SilverThis iPod has it`s ups and downs. For those of you who are surfin` the net in a public place, who have not got the internet at home, it is most best to download iTunes now as Apple do not give out software CDs anymore. This is because the Internet is becoming more known and worldwide. This small MP3 player can store up to 500 songs on a 1gb memory. I reccomend that you encode the mp3`s into AIFF if you have the codec (most software will give you aiff codecs for encoding) and can also store photos and album art. It is a great gadget you can buy for christmas this year or birthdays etc.... It comes with: 1 set of headphones, 1 USB lead (Windows and Apple), iPod and instruction leaflet. This package can be found anywhere at just under £100. This is by far the most loved and popular product on the market. It also has 4 games on it`s memory to let you play while listening to your music. It has a good sound to it with loads of presets. I say that this gadget IS worth it`s price! 5 out of 5iFreind13/01/2007 18:53:15

UnbrandediTronics 1GBbought one of these last August, as an extra player, so I could have a small one. 10 GB is just too much for my needs, so 1GB was ideal. It`s a great little piece of kit. The battery life is about 12 hours and the sound quality with sony phones is excellent. My only gripe is the constantly changing colour of the backlight. adding files couldn`t be simpler. judging by others comments i guess there are some quality control issues, but mine is fine 5 out of 5mark13/01/2007 18:53:10

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 PlayerHave had mine for several months now and so far no problems, in fact bought my girlfriend one as well. It is so easy to use. I not only store music on mine but also mpegs, avi, jpegs and various files for work eg word, excel etc. Most of the time I use it in the car where it sits between the front seats with a plug in transmitter so that I can listen to it through the car hifi system. As I also have it conected to a computer quite a bit of the time I have actually only charged it up twice, it charges very nicely from the usb connection which is great. (Trouble is I got so used to not having to charge it that when I went away for a week I forgot about needing a charger and couldn`t work out why it stopped half way through the third day till I realised the battery had gone flat Doh!) Although it is a bit on the large side it is not that heavy and I find it very comfortable wearing it on a belt (Samsonite do a great pouch which is almost an exact fit with room for cables and headphones). Don`t know why Argos stopped selling it, can only assume sales were not high enough due to trendy idiots spending more money on smaller memory systems cause they `look the part`.

ALBAMP3128D6SILThis mp3 player is a very cheap and simple gadget to use. At an even lower price of only £9.99 from Argos, you just simply can`t go wrong. It is easy to use and looks a lot more stylish when you have it in your hand than in the picture. Although it has only 128 mb of memory you can also put in a memory card up to 1Gb as there is an SD slot. I don`t see anything wrong with the earphones provided, they are of good quality and are loud - well compared to my old ones. The only problems are that it takes quite long to turn on to the play screen when you turn it on with a memory card inside and also the memory card sticks out a bit from the side but this doesn`t bother me at all. 5 out of 5Zeesh27/11/2006 10:25:11

WharfedaleWSAT20I hadn`t had much luck with portable radios with my for quid Mikomi dieing on me after 2 weeks, so I wasn`t too sure about buying this. A friend told me Wharfedale were a pretty decent make so I thought I may as well give it a try. I bought it for £7.49 in Argos reduced from £14.99. First impressions are really good, it includes, headphones, speaker dock, and ac/adapter as well as the radio itself. It`s only FM but it can store 30 presets for plenty of music pleasure. I really like the large LCD display which backlights Orange, and the alarm clock, time and date are really easy to use. Overall - an excellent piece of equipment in my opinion.

Thankyou.

SAMSUNGYH925 20 GbThis player has converted me to Samsung! It is reliable, flexible and easy to use. Sound quality is excellent (with a new pair of earphones), voice recording and line-in recording is of high quality and the storage capability is excellent. Plus the USB hosting linking straight to your digital camera - tell me if I`m wrong but I don`t think there is anything else like it.

Negatives: doesn`t interface with old computers and the radio tuner is mediocre. Only real problem = someone stole mine. I`m hoping to buy another Samsung 925 but may need to settle for a J70.

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 Playerbought mine from argos for £49.99, thought there must be something wrong with it at that price, but no cannot fault it , like the physical size though not very easy to dangle roud your neck, easy to use and well worth the money. sure it will give me many happy hours of pleasure 5 out of 5stephen bevan10/07/2006 10:22:19

ALBAMP3128D6SILUnbelievable player for the dosh. My recommendation is to bin the earphones, buy some decent ones (i bought some Sennheiser mx-300`s for a fiver), buy a cheap 1gb SD card(shop around, mine cost only fifteen notes).The whole job lot was under thirty five quid and shows an ipod shuffle the way home! truly outstanding sound now and with acres of memory for not much money. Thanks Alba. 5 out of 5mikeyboy15/06/2006 08:04:35

RobertsRD15I must admit that I am a bit of a DAB junkie and the Robert RD15 is my forth! I also have two ASDA specials (one for the kitchen and one for the office), additionally I have fitted my car with an excellent Sony head unit and so the Roberts is my forth.

I have owned Roberts radios in the past and after going to Comet and touching, playing and fiddling with about 15 radios, this little Roberts unit stood out for the money. It feels well made with quality plastics and the buttons felt nice to the touch. The layout of the controls is simple and logical and took me about 30 seconds to automatically tune in about 20 stations (I live in Cornwall and it picks up all the stations that I should get). Compared to my other portable radios, this one locks onto a station very quickly and confidently (sometimes I don`t even need to pull out the arial). The sound is excellent for the size of radio and gives a nice strong sound, ideal for my fav station 6Music and for speech on BBC7. Although it has only 5 presets, the slick scrolling buttons makes navigation simple and quick so this isn`t a problem. Battery life (this is important to me as I use it for listening while I`m out and about) is excellent; using 4 x D batteries, I have been playing the radio for 6 hours a day for 7 days now and it`s still sounding fine (the unit also comes with a mains adaptor). The large scrolling display is easy to read and doesn`t flicker like cheaper radios.

The negatives; it would have been nice to have had a stereo outputs to feed into my home amplifier (even my Acoustic Solutions Portal 1 has it) but to be honest I use my Sky+ for radio in the front room so this isn`t such a loss for me.

Conclusion; A great, well built radio with excellent battery life, and a good sound for all types of listening. Very recommended

CREATIVEZen Sleek 20GB Hard Disc DriveThis is a fantastic MP3 player!!!! i know knothing about them but i do know that this is easy to use and sounds great! I wasted my time on the Sony 20gb walman and it was rubbish. I was on the verge of getting an ipod but didnt want to have to use itunes and the battery life seamed a bit too short. The Creative was recommended to me and im glad i went for it. Been bopping about to tunes ever since :) 5 out of 5a fan05/06/2006 12:11:30

PHILIPSSport PSA610The 3gb player is great. the navigation is the best. find your tracks easy. it come with everything you need. a charger for when you`re away from the computer for a while. the only problem I have with mine is that it is recognized as a camera so I have to send it back to get a replacement as you cant put songs on cameras. windows xp users need service pack 1 or later which is free to download from microsoft.com

WharfedaleWSAT20This is an excellent radio and alarm. It is small and light, easy to use and can also be used with the mains power/speaker base unit if your batteries die on you or you wants to save batteries inside your home.

SonyNWA1000 BlackWhat a fabulous piece of gear. I have a black version and it really is the ‘dogs bollocks’. Beats the ipod for looks and user friendliness, it is very easy to navigate and the organic lcd screen looks fantastic. Battery life is a bit shorter than Sony says but only by abouan hour. Shame about the useless Connect software (keeps crashing and is desperately slow, and Sony knows its a problem), but now you can down load windows media files this more than makes up for it. I also object to Sony limiting the overall volume to EU 100db standards, (to please the French I think!!). It took a while to find the hack for this, but now it plays super loud. I give it 5+ for the unit, and -5 for the software. 5 out of 5Ilt1402/04/2006 08:02:26

SHARPHRGB201Hi I have this unit HR-GB201 I think its the best MP3 out there ! HDD recording , I was very suprised at the stableness of this unit, very easy to use, sound best ever, a good looking device. the software is great easy to understand .

The Sharp looks very tough it feels nice in your hand, the rermote controle is great comes with its own holder , with 20GB you can turn the bit rate to max , and listen to music at very high standerd, I realy belive that sharp has set the standerd of what a hard disk recording device should be .

If you are not looking for video screens, or coulor displays , or very overprised small sized hard disk space, or weak and easy to break units , Then I order you to get this Sharp unit. Oh if you can find one ,

The stores will try to sell you all the over priced goods first , you know the stuff that dose`nt last, the flash screens, but poor sound , or tinny fin sound quality , you know if you drop it - its all over sought of thing !

I am pleased with the sharp they have done well with this one very well .

it may not be dated as the rest but belive me it does look , and feel good , fits in your pocket, klips on your belt, breast pocket, or inside pocket then use the remote ! nice ! errrrm nice again ,

it has a nice cradle charger with USB PC connection . 12 hours of play .

Packard BellAudioDream 512Mb ColourExcellent MP3 player. Also able to transfer pictures from you PC to your MP3 player and be able to view them on the mp3 players screen. The `Disignated buttons eg. the volume button` which people have been complaining about. There is no problem with them and they are NOT fidley. Excellent start up logo, v.nice. V.loud and sound quality is excellent with earphones other than packard bells supplied ones. Theirs are a little cheap. Menu is easy to use. Its very small and the metal finish is superb. Very pleased with this product and would recommend it too anyone. Also one thing i must say, many people have been saying this MP3 switches off and crashes alot. I have been reading about this MP3 player and only the older versions of this MP3 player have this problem. If it ever happens to you, you can goto packard bells site, click support and find you audiodream colour. Then usually at the bottom of the page there is an option to update firmware. That should sort out all of your MP3 problems. Would recommend this MP3 to anyone at the moment because i have had no Problems with it `Yet` and hopefully i wont!.. 5 out of 5Woodzey18/02/2006 09:31:21

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 PlayerHave had this for just a few days and thinks it’s marvellous. I’m older and my eyes need the clear text the screen of this throws up. Not sure if I own enough music to fill it though - but it will make a handy back-up storage device for the PC. Easy to work, much better than my ipod, just copied all my music folders and I was away.(free`d up much needed PC storage space too!) It is not heavy especially if you are old enough to remember the walk-mans we used to carry about. A carry case would be an advantage to stop scratches etc. Ok so there’s no street cred with this but that has the advantage that my kids won’t be seen dead with it and it will stay mine! 5 out of 5Granny02/02/2006 09:29:43

Venturer40GB HDD MP3 Playeri love this device even thou its got zero street cred. its quite well made and does as all the reviews above say, except i think its fairly light. the only thing is it doesn`t remember what the last track played was when you switch off and on, it doesnt remember any settings from power down to power up. this is`nt much of a problem unless your listning to a talking book or listning to an album wrap. as an extrnal hard disk its great. i payed £89.99 +£15.00 for 3 years insurance, they`ll replace it whatever happens, well worth it. 5 out of 5leo satisfied in oban26/01/2006 09:37:19

CREATIVEZen Sleek 20GB Hard Disc DriveI have been looking for an mp3 player for sometime and could not make up my mind between the iriver and the Zen Sleek but I took the plunge and went with the Zen. This is an excellent bit of kit, the aluminium casing feels lovely and it fits nicely in the palm of your hand and in your pocket. Yes the touch pad was a bit strange for the first hour or so but now its so easy to use - even my dad on Christmas day could work it (and thats saying something as he is not technically minded!). The software is really easy to use but you can just drag and drop in your music files with ease. The major thing is the amount of music that you can store which is fantastic (I have over 100 cds on there so far and its not even half full). The radio is excellent with the ability to record it if you like a song etc and the useful microphone function is also terrific. Accessories do seem on the rare side however if you do a bit of hunting you will find them such as colourful flexi tubes, and nice leather cases, docking station etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending this brilliant piece of equipment - I didn`t want an Ipod as everyone seems to have one - go for it you won`t be disappointed. 5 out of 5wiz157110/01/2006 11:10:52
