Creative Labs Nano Reviewed


Thia is another flash based player, with a screen. At $149, which is the same price as the iPod Shuffle, this is a serious contender.
This tiny player measures 1.3 by 2.6 by 0.5 inches, weighs just 1.2 ounces with battery, and comes in 512MB or 1GB versions (we tested the larger one). Features include an FM tuner, FM recording, line-in recording, a built-in microphone, plenty of music playback modes (yes, you can shuffle your music), and data storage. The Nano supports MP3, WMA, and protected WMA formats up to 320 Kbps. It runs on a single triple-A battery; alkaline battery life is rated at 18 hours for audio playback or 12 hours of FM radio use. The device connects to PCs via USB 2.0, and you simply drag and drop songs or folders onto the player.
