It's quite compact and cute, has huge amounts of storage space, has great sound, the list could go on all night...or at least for another minute or so.

The sound is great, it hold a bazillion songs which you can put into your own little playlists

The higher the bit rate, the better the sound, but the bigger the file (and the shorter the battery life - those big files take more juice to load off the hard disk)

Great interface, great sound, great capacity, quick to transfer music, looks good (I disagree that the chrome backing is bad design), and even this larger model fits easily in many pockets or other such places

the sound is shrill, hollow, with little bass and obvious distortion on higher volumes

The sound is also great, the battery life is good and have a pretty good equalizer system
