The FM/MP3 player is fantastic. This is the best gift I have ever Had. It has got GOOD sound quality and very compact. I have only 256mb but I feel one should go for 512mb or more. It does not require any external cable for connecting to the PC. If one has Windows XP doesnot even require USB driver. CD content software with which one can Ripped Audio CDs in either MP# or WMA format. One can direct record Favourite song on FM or any voice directly in Mp3 format. it has also equiliser.But only disadvantage is one need to buy rechargeable batteries, otherwise featurewise ad qualitywise player is just COOOL. Other produt in this type one can go for is iriver but you need to pay almost double. Technology is changing very fast so you should not spend more on these type of products. After a year or two you will feel outdated. Creative is worth for your hard earned money. Go for it its worth having instead of carrying walkman or CDman in long journey where u will utilise it the most.Thanks.
