The SanDisk Sansa Clip is an intuitive little device that doesn't sound too shrill or tinny
The Sony NWZ-B135 is a neat looking device, but although detailed enough the sound is unexciting
It's got good looks, but this Samsung struggles against its peers in terms of detail
This MP3 player is a novel idea that's expertly executed. They're a restless bunch at Sony
Despite its three-star rating, the Philips has much to commend it – stylish looks, ease of use and dinky dimensions. But the sound quality is poor
Ultra compact and ultra fun - this Samsung is a steal
Versatile with a list of impressive specs as long as your arm – but not a doddle to use
A long haul flight with this would be a joy
Smooth, slick, easy to use and reasonably cheap
Looks good, but scratch the surface and there's not much there
With extra features, improved sound and even a video recorder, the nano is better than ever
