mp3HD: New lossless MP3 format explained

The lossless "hybrid" MP3 format not only offers the sound detail lost in a normal MP3, but remains compatible with your existing MP3 player or iPod.

Reviews

  • Archos 5

    If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • SanDisk Sansa Fuze

    Hey there, Nano killer! The Sansa Fuze has its sights set on Apple's skinny player, but comes up a little short. Still, with its extra features and ease of use, it's one to put on the shortlist.

  • Creative Zen Stone

    Creative's pebble-like Zen Stone takes on the iPod Shuffle. It has a lower price and better sound but lacks the brand aura and tactility of the Shuffle.

  • Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

    The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic phone works well as a music player — a larger memory card would be useful — but achieves relatively average results as a phone.

  • Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

    The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.

  • Samsung YP-K5 (4GB)

    The Samsung YP-K5 is a unique MP3 player with a fun interface and great sound quality; it may be bulky around the middle, but it's an excellent choice if you want to share your tunes quickly and easily.

  • Xbox 360

    The first 'next generation' console to hit Australia, the Xbox 360 promises plenty of extras aside from gaming. Should you rush out and buy one? Read our extensive Australian review to find out.
