iRock 830 [Review, SubZeroTech]
MP3 services are popping up everywhere nowadays, the hottest ones being iTunes and Napster. More and more people are downloading MP3's both legally and illegally, but many are being restricted to just listening to them on their PCs. Of course they can always buy a portable MP3 player and store the music onto those to listen to on the go. However, there are SO many MP3 players on the market, which one should you buy? Well iRock recently sent over their iRock 830 MP3 player for us to test out. Is it worth your money? Is it worthy enough to put your MP3's onto? It has an a good number of features one being a FM tuner but it can only store 128MB worth of MP3s. Lets have a more in depth look at it...

Sony NW-MS70D: iPod Killer or Expensive Paper Weight? [Review, TomsHardware]
Spending that little bit extra on a Sony product usually means the purchase offers a high minimum standard of quality. This is the case for Sony's new NW-MS70D, part of Sony's new "Network Walkman" line. While it will not take out the iPod, the NW-MS70D is certainly not just an expensive paperweight, either.

Creative MuVo NX 128MB [Review, Hexus]
All manner of portable music players have hit the market recently. Up until just a couple of years' ago, consumers' choices were more or less limited to either tape, CD or minidisk-based formats and players. Then came the ever-so-popular MP3 format, which digitally compressed your music into far smaller digital files, and it still kept a decent level of sound quality up. Now with an average 128kb/s MP3 song weighing in at around the 4MB mark, and the proliferation of broadband internet and huge hard drives, users can amass thousands of songs in a very short space of time. Bad for the industry and good for a select group of the computing world. The rise of the compressed digital format brought along with it a number of small, portable devices that could play back the format smoothly. One of the banes of disc usage, namely skipping, was almost eradicated through the use of flash media. No moving parts also translated to a much smaller sizes and true portability, as well as a longer expected lifespan. Wed, 05 Nov, 2003 | 83 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
iRock! 830 MP3 Player [Review, AseLabs]
Take a quick peek in your nearest CompUSA or Best Buy: other than the disturbing amount of hunting and street racing games being sold, notice any other trends? No, I’m not alluding to the growing number of mousepads with kittens printed on them: I’m talking portable mp3 players - every color, every shape, everywhere! I’d say that, by my precise calculations, there are at least 46 million different models to choose from right now, from almost as many companies. From the popular-yet-overpriced Apple I-Pod, to the key chain-styled offerings from I-River, there’s one for everyone. For this article, I’ll be giving you the skinny on the 128mb-equipped model 830 player from the good folks at “iRock!” Thu, 23 Oct, 2003 | 25 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

MSI MegaStick1 MP3/FM Radio/USB Drive [Review, PCStats]
The evolution of technology, isn't it a curious thing? To get to the MSI 5-in-1 Megastick 1 MP3 player we first have to look back, look way... back, to the time of the simple floppy disk. Storing 1.44MB of data it offered ease of use, low cost and broad compatibility. As file sizes bloated, the floppy gradually multiplied into 5 packs and then 20 packs. Pretty soon after the floppy became impractical as a portable, removable, and inexpensive storage solution. The ZIP drive gave us all a little breathing room, but like Iomega's stock price, never really rose, or gained widespread acceptance as did the humble 1.44MB floppy.

Review: iRock 730i [Review, SubZeroTech]
iRock has been releasing audio products for some time now, and one of their previous releases the Bling! Player was reviewed here. As you may remember it was a CD/MP3 player hybrid that featured rechargeable batteries, dual functionality and good quality for a respectable price. I have no trouble recommending that player to anyone. Their next offering, the 730i is something a little different: it is a tiny, sexy, lightweight MP3 player with a little “extra” to it than most players. What I found was that the 730i was not immaculate, but by most standards it is a very attractive, excellent music playing device.

iRiver iFP-395T [Review, HardwareZoom]
The first MP3 player that I came across was the Creative Nomad 32MB. At that time flash memory was expensive and this MP3 player was a power hungry animal. After several years, MP3 players are now much smaller, cheaper and consume less power. Their storage capacity have increased by 16-folds and they are now packed with features such as WMA support, Voice recorder and multi-language LCD display.

CS-256B MP3 Player USB Flash Drive Combo [Review, TheTechZone]
The CS-256B MP3 Player USB Flash Drive Combo is more than just a flash drive that stores data. After all, any flash drive can do that. What sets the CS-256B apart from other flash drives is its ability to play MP3, receive FM stereo and do voice recordings. And best of all, the unit is barely more expensive than a stand alone flash drive. The CS-256 is available direct from CableStore.us in two colors; red (CS-256R) or blue (CS-256B) like our review unit. Mon, 15 Sep, 2003 | 95 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
