Sansa View

Sansa View

* * *
£80

It may look a bit like an Apple with its iPod-esque scroll wheel, but Sansa's View MP3 player can't match the Big A for ergonomics or sound quality

Samsung YP-Q1

Samsung YP-Q1

* * * *
£60

A big, bright display, compatibility with the BBC iPlayer and strong sound make this Samsung a contender, but we hate the touch-sensitive controls

Philips SA2820
£30

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

iRiver Spinn

iriver Spinn

* * *
£120

There's plenty of flash in this MP3 player, but we'd happily settle for better sound and something that costs less cash

Cowon iAudio 7
£80

The iAudio7 is a chunky player, but sadly the solid looks don't match the sound, and it's a right old fiddle to use

Sony NWZ-S639F

Sony NWZ-S639F

* * * *
£100

This Sony reveals itself to be as tantalisingly close to Apple as it ever was, yet somehow unable to make up the distance, whether using the supplied headphones (not bad sound, but uncomfortable) or after-market jobs.

Samsung YP-S2

Samsung YP-S2

* * * * *
£30

Ultra compact and ultra fun - this Samsung is a steal

Apple iPod nano

Apple iPod nano

* * * * *
£110

Apple's 4th-generation nano is the slimmest iPod yet, at just 6.2mm. There are nine colours and two capacities – 8Gb and 16Gb – to choose from

Apple iPod Classic 120GB
£179

The new, fifth-generation iPod Classic is thinner than its predecessor, but there's nothing thin about the taut, tight and punchy sound

Sandisk Sansa Fuze
£60

An SDHC card slot allows you to increase the storage capacity of this appealing player
