Reviews

Bose Lifestyle 48

The Bose Lifestyle 48 can store up to 340 hours of music from your CDs, learn what music you like and play back similar tracks. It's tiny speakers produce top-quality audio that is hard to beat.
Apple iPod Shuffle (512MB)

It's affordable and stylish, but the Shuffle's lack of an LCD and its subpar battery life will turn many away.
Musicmatch Jukebox 10.0

This music jukebox/subscription service/store combination does it all, but its playlist-centric interface can cause confusion.
Nullsoft Winamp 5.0

A classic application for sure, Winamp is a solid media player with a few missing ingredients.
Bose Lifestyle 38

The Bose Lifestyle 38 home entertainment system plays favourites - yours. It can store up to 200 CDs and then it remembers what you like best and automatically serves up those tracks for playback.
Sony MZ-NH600 Hi-MD Walkman

Sony's MZ-NH600 is a digital player that brings a lot to the table - removable, rewritable 1 GB disc capacity, great sound and versatility - but it lacks that all-important 'cool' factor.
