Pros: Inexpensive, lots of memory, easy to use, good software, good LCD light
Cons: Poor headphones, boring design

I have seen and experienced the Apple ipod and must admit that it is pretty cool. So, when Dell decided that they were going to branch out and enter the MP3 world as well, I had to see what all the fuss was about. I mean this was and still is primarily ...

Pros: Low price, good GUI, nice trackwheel, LONG battery life
Cons: not as "hip" as an ipod,

Bought the 20GB unit on sale for $223 inc'l shipping and I couldn't be happier. I owned a RioRIOT for a long time (great player, cheap, but HUGE so hard to travel with) and bought and returned 3 others that I didn't like before I took the plunge with a ...

Pros: Tactical and practical, easy to use, bundled hardware and software especially scrolling through music, affordable
Cons: Must use included Musicmatch software to transfer music files, not trendy like Ipod?

As portable digital music players, MP3 players, gain in popularity, value, and selection, what really differentiates a quality product from the sea of unreliable crap? Brand name. Most would immediately agree that Apple's Ipod holds the greatest mind ...

Pros: Size, durability, memory, outstanding sound recording quality; how did I ever live without it!?
Cons: never want to put it down; all the jealousy it provokes!

I bought this MP3 player, not for the MP3 player, but because it was the best recorder on the market for the money. I had been looking at the IRiver (279 bucks for 512 mb~!) and decided to spend the extra 20 bucks and get 20GB! If this thing had ...

Pros: Easy-to-use software, battery life, price, all-in-one cable
Cons: headphones, no user manual hard copy

Pros: Sound, Interface, Looks, Ability To Store Files Other Than Music, Storage Space, Physical Size
Cons: MUSICMATCH JUKEBOX SOFTWARE (BEWARE!!!)

Pros: 20 gigs, very easy to use, voice recorder, long-lasting battery, affordable
Cons: some slight playback issues, no TV/Weather/FM/AM tuner, should buy another pair of earphones

Pros: Gen 1 was perfect. Good capacity. Inexpensive. Dell DJ Explorer.
Cons: The Gen 2 is flawed. MusicMatch software.
