JVC XA-MP101B

JVC's "matchbook" MP3 player may feature a compact design and a decent array of features, but it doesn't stand out in the flash market. Find out in our review why we think so.

Ultracompact MP3 player with 1GB capacity; solid sound quality; plays protected WMA files purchased from Internet music stores; built-in FM tuner; FM and voice recorder; doubles as data-storage device.

JVC's ultracompact XA-MP101B MP3 player doesn't bring anything new to the table.
