Sony Walkman B series (NWZ-B142F) review
If you're looking for a cheap MP3 player, this £30 device from Sony might just hit the right spot. With a screen to display track names, an FM radio and recording ability, it is more than a match for the iPod shuffle in both the features and cheapness stakes

Archos 5 Internet Tablet review
Running on the Android operating system, the Archos 5 Internet Tablet offers both ease of use and highly impressive performance. You can't access the Android Market, but videos look stunning on its huge touchscreen, and its audio quality is better than that of any previous Archos device

Logitech Squeezebox Radio review
The Squeezebox Radio is one of the best networked music and Internet-radio streamers currently available. While the audio spewed out by its mono speaker isn't exactly hi-fi quality, it's still punchy enough to fill a kitchen or bedroom. This device also looks great and packs in tonnes of features

Philips GoGear Muse review
The GoGear Muse is Philips' best portable media player to date, featuring a number of enhancements over previous models, including a redesigned user interface and slicker design. It doesn't offer the best audio quality we've ever heard, but its format support is hard to beat

Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB) review
Apple's latest iPod shuffle line-up offers two storage capacities -- 2GB or 4GB -- and five colours. Apart from that, it's business as usual. But that's not necessarily a bad thing -- the shuffle's tiny dimensions are certainly pleasing, and its basic feature set will appeal to those who appreciate simplicity

Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB) review
Apple's third-generation iPod touch may lack a camera, but it's the best portable media player that you can currently get your hands on. As well as sporting a number of useful new features, such as voice control, a faster processor means it performs even more smoothly than before

Apple iPod nano (5th gen, with video camera) review
The fifth-generation iPod nano is the best version yet, packing in plenty of features, including a video camera, while retaining the straightforward functionality that's a hallmark of Apple devices. It's not perfect, though, and owners of previous models will have little reason to upgrade, but it's a great device nonetheless

Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (S series) review
One of two new additions to the S-series Walkman line, the 16GB NWZ-S545 MP3 and video player offers excellent audio, great battery life and a large screen. It should also be available at a lower price than its predecessor, the NWZ-S639F, so the fact that it has fewer features shouldn't be a massive concern

Sony Giga Juke NAS-SC500PK review
Sony's multi-room audio system lets you store and manage your music on a main server, which comes with speakers and an iPod dock, and stream that audio to a separate unit in another room. It could be easier to use, but it has tonnes of features and you get excellent sound for the money

Philips GoGear Vibe review
The GoGear Vibe budget MP3 player compensates for its deeply irritating navigation system by offering a well-rounded feature set and good sound quality. Photo- and video-playback capability are of limited use on a 38mm colour screen, but Philips deserves credit for squeezing in such features at this price

Philips Streamium NP2500 review
The Streamium NP2500 is a worthwhile digital audio streamer. It's a slick-looking piece of kit, offers access to thousands of Internet radio stations and, unusually, also offers a colour LCD screen that can display album art, although we wish it were slightly larger

Sony Walkman NWZ-S544 (S series) review
The 8GB, flash-based Sony Walkman NWZ-S544 is a solid entry-level MP3 and video player. Although it's missing some of the previous generation's features, it offers superb sound quality, excellent battery life and a big, bright screen. It's also easy to use and attractive

Philips GoGear Opus review
The GoGear Opus manages to stand out from the crowd of iPod nano rivals by offering some impressive extra features, such as support for the BBC's iPlayer and the ability to record FM radio. The screen isn't great, but sound quality is good and it's a decent media player overall

The Streamium NP2900 is an excellent Wi-Fi radio. It's an extremely slick-looking piece of kit, it offers access to thousands of Internet radio stations and, most importantly, it delivers fantastic sound quality. Unusually, it also offers a great colour screen that can display album art

The Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 is a pricy portable media player, but it offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. Chief among them are its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, excellent OLED touchscreen and truly fantastic audio quality. But is it better than the iPod touch?

Samsung YP-U5 review
Those seeking an affordable secondary MP3 player could do far worse than the YP-U5. Its battery life is good, it offers above-average sound quality and it supports a decent range of audio formats, although AAC is notably missing. A fitness app also makes it well-suited to gym fanatics

Microsoft Zune HD preview
The Zune HD looks like a real threat to the iPod touch. With an 84mm OLED touchscreen, high-definition radio tuner, and high-definition video playback via a dock accessory, it offers features that Apple's device can't yet match. It also looks like it might be cheaper

Samsung YP-Q2 review
Up close, its plastic design leaves something to be desired, but the YP-Q2 budget MP3 player still represents excellent value for money. Its overall performance is good, there's a decent array of features, and the relatively large screen makes viewing photos and videos a pleasure

With its sleek aluminium body and large screen, the gorgeous iriver P7 touchscreen portable media player looks like it belongs in a modern art museum. The included PC software isn't great, but the unique touchscreen interface makes for a refreshing change and the P7's audio capabilities are good

Samsung YP-P3 review
It's not a stretch to say the touchscreen YP-P3 is an audiophile's portable media player. It sounds stellar, packs an enormous amount of features into a compact package and boasts a gorgeous display. The user interface might take a while to get used to, but there's very little to complain about really

Samsung YP-S2 Pebble review
The easy-to-use YP-S2 Pebble doesn't just look like a very attractive, shiny skipping stone -- it also offers impressive audio quality, a number of useful features and a super-affordable price tag. Its battery life isn't fantastic, but, at this price, you can't really ask for more

Cowon D2+ review
The D2+ is a great touchscreen MP3 player that's packed full of useful features and offers outstanding audio quality, thanks to its sound-enhancement settings. Users of its predecessor, the iAudio D2, won't notice a great deal of changes though, and the lack of AAC support is hard to justify

The cordless Walkman NWZ-W202 is a great alternative to the latest iPod shuffle for those who prefer their MP3 player to have great sound quality rather than minuscule dimensions.
