Check the volume on your MP3 player
If you are thinking of cranking up your MP3 Player volume, think again. A researched done by a professor at Wichita State University have found that some volume setting are too high which can lead to permanent hearing lost. iPods and other personal music players are destroying our hearing, he says.
Loud noise does not only affect your hearing but it can damage your balance as well.

Samsung YEPP YP-T7X (512MB) Reviews
CNET has reviewed Samsung YEPP YP-T7X (512MB) and writes
The good: Lovely compact design; beautiful color screen; SRS and TruBass effects; FM, voice, and line-in recording; photo- and text-viewing functionality; supports DRM-protected WMA. The bad: Delicate build; so-so battery life; doesn’t recognize playlists transferred from Windows Media Player; included earbuds suck; doesn’t support ID3-tagged album art. The bottom line: We’d like to see a few improvements to the Samsung YEPP YP-T7, but it should be a top choice for those who want an MP3 player with tons of features. |

Amazon digital music store and MP3 player?
Keen to get into the digital music scene, Amazon may well have a digital music store and MP3 player by the middle of this year. Planning to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Napster, Real Networks, Microsoft and of course Apple, Amazon will likely be offering a subscription service along with an Amazon-branded MP3 player to work with it.

Apple iPod (60GB, video)

Get the latest price on the Apple iPod 60GB Apple iPod 60GB ReviewsCNET has reviewed Apple iPod (60GB, video, black) and writes
The good: Incredibly thin and intuitive design; beautiful LCD; supports photo and video playback; seamless integration with iTunes, which boasts the world’s biggest music catalog and a new video store; smooth video; lots of extra features, such as a world clock, a stopwatch, and PIM applications; a galaxy of accessories designed for the iPod; great overall value.
The bad: No extras included, such as a dock, A/V cables, or a power adapter; poor battery life for video; slight delay when playing video; no guarantee that your non-iTunes Music Store video will play on an iPod, even after using converted third-party software.
The bottom line: Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads. |

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB, green) Reviews
CNET has reviewed Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB, green) and writes
The good: Available in five colors, the Creative Zen Vision:M has an incredible screen, a simple interface, excellent video battery life, an FM tuner and recorder, and a voice recorder. It features a customizable Shortcut button, and it supports a wide range of online music stores and subscription services, as well as video formats. It has excellent audio and video quality.
The bad: The Creative Zen Vision:M has no iTunes-like video content–yet–or support for Audible content–yet. Some will find the touch-pad controller frustrating. The black model scratches easily. The documentation is skimpy. You must use an adapter for transfers and power, meaning that occasionally you need two cables and the adapter. A dock and an A/V-out cable are not included. Finally, the Zen Vision:M isn’t as elegant as an iPod.
The bottom line: The dazzling, DRM-friendly Creative Zen Vision:M gives the iPod a run for the money as the current high-capacity WMA champ. |
