Supports numerous audio/video codecs, Loud volume

Lacks memory card slot, Awkward placement of volume buttons, Ho-hum design

Priced at $99.99, the Lplayer is a solid music player that's compatible with a number of audio/video formats for the hardcore multimedia set. If you're satisfied with its limited amount of memory, and don't mind the odd placement of the volume button, ...

The Lplayer from iriver will seem familiar to some people. At first glance, it looks like a smaller iriver Clix. The two players use the same D*click technologythe company's term for its innovative, practically button-free design. You navigate the ...

Compact design. Good-looking graphics. Easy, push-screen navigation. FM radio and recording. Voice recording

Tiny screen. Some menu options can be difficult to find. Video conversion software can mess up aspect ratios

Small and easy to use, it ticks the right boxes if you're not fond of overly complicated MP3 players.
