This may be the bargain leader in a larger hard drive based, no frills player. It's selling for $239.
Under the skin, the DJ 30 bears a strong resemblance to the Creative Zen Touch, but with a blue-backlit display instead of Creative's white. We found that the blue backlight reduces contrast and makes the display somewhat harder to read. The DJ 30 includes Dell's distinctive roller switch to scroll through menus. It's very easy to use, and there are no overshoot or sensitivity problems, unlike some other touch-sensitive scrollers. The forward and back buttons have a well-implemented acceleration feature that scrolls through a file faster the longer you hold them down. The navigation controls are much better than those found in the iriver H10, for example. The anodized aluminum case resists fingerprints and scratches. When a song is selected, a pop-up submenu lets you play it, view details, add it to a playlist, or clear it. There's also an alphabetic search function, which comes in handy if you get close to filling all 30GB
