The Unsung Hero of MP3

Now in a world of 40 gigabyte Ipods, I have found that the smaller, more budget friendly Mp3 players have been pushed to the wayside. I was really suprised in the proformance and quality of this little black beauty.The small size, paired with the quality of the sound makes Creative one of my favorite brands. Now I know there are bigger and better ones on the market, but I didn't need something like that. Remember the golden rule of electronics folks, don't buy what you don't need. I was just looking for something to take with me on trips and to listen to at work, and I didnt want something so big and exspensive that I had to carry it in bubblewrap. So I did some research, and came up with this little wonder. The sound quality is great for something of its size. The memory is enough for me, at 1 gigabyte, and the small compact size reduces battery consumption. With out a color screen to weight it down, a triple A battery lasts a week, under heavy usage every day. I get roughly 60 hours of playback per battery, and coupled with a set of rechargalbe batteries, the skies the limit.

Sounds like a wonderful product.. and honestly, probably makes more sense than the expensive ipods. My ipod runs out of battery within a few hours due to the color screen and all the bells and whistles. I think I might check out this one. Sounds like the better deal!
