Tom, York , “I am 62 years”

Score 10.0/10

+ It is so compact that it fits anywhere, not a big bulky player like some of the other brands, I was a bit sceptical when I first received it, it was a gift from my wife, looked at the size of it and thought Oh Oh lose, sit on, break but I have used it everyday since I received it. I have worn it whilst I have decorated our bedroom, that entailed stripping wallpaper filling in where plaster came off,sanding down, repapering, painting and it didn't get in the way. It is a marvelous music player, would recommend to anyone

- NONE

Score 10.0/10

+ very clear sound great size easy to carry especially with detaching clip and holds all the songs i need it to. i would say it was of a higher music playing standard then an ipod.

- only bad point is that the battery life is slightly to short.

Stewart, Glasgow , “Busy working student”

Score 9.0/10

+ Its absolutely tiny, which makes it very easy to put anywhere, and its got a handy clip. Despite being so small, it has a very clear screen, and is generally very easy to use.

- The headphones that come with it are not great quality, its better to buy separate ones. Difficult to work out playlists on it.

Darren, Castleford

Score 9.0/10

+ Bought one of these for my son and he thinks its great.
Very nice design and sounds great. Although a lot smaller than I thought it would be, the display is crisp and easy to see . The buttons are responsive and the menu system is easy to navigate.
Being Plug and Play, just connect it up to your Pc via the supplied USB cable and away you go (unless you have Win98 or below, in which case there is a supplied disk for drivers).
Also the clip on the back (hence the name) has a reassuringly good grip for attaching to clothes which makes it ideal for in the gym or jogging, which my son does a lot of.

- No inline volume control on earphones, but thats just a miner niggle.
Doesn't have fancy gimmicks or come in a choice of bright colours like a certain top brand, over priced competitor but it does what it says on the tin, and that's what's important. Buy it, you won't be disappointed

+ I bought this for my wife now she's started a commute to work and she's very happy indeed: I think she assumes I spent a lot more on it than I did. Having a reliable radio is especially useful to her, but this really is huge capacity for the money. Annoyingly it also sounds better than a 2GB player I bought for more 18 months ago.

- Obviously, spending three or four times as much would result in better sound quality and battery life. But the difference in these wouldn't be huge, especially when compared to the price hike.

Marion, London , “I love Jesus.”

Score 10.0/10

+ My best point is being able to transport it easily. Wow! I just love that. Also, the quality of the music is excellent. Overall I will say it is good value for money. I bought 2 players in December last year - one similar to that which I bought in January 2009. It was bought for a friend who saw it and was going crazy for it. She is now definitely hooked on it. I am not very attuned to modern tech so I am getting there (with the help of my impatient son) with really understanding how to get the music on the player, etc.

- Have none.

+ Great size - clips easily onto the strap of a bag or onto the edge of a cardigan or jacket.
Easy to read screen even though the unit is so small - love the blue colour of the graphics

- To fast forward or rewind you have to hold the button down instead of just pushing it but other than that small niggle it's a great little MP3 player

+ The size and sound quality are great. The display is clear and bright. Very easy to use and when plugged into a HiFi with a USB port you can play your music through the HiFi. Drag and drop music so very easy. The price for 8gigs is great.

- The unit feels a bit fragile, would be better with a metal case. The volume control is under the headphone socket and gets in the way.
