For the geek on a budget.

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Radio, line-in recording, mass storage device.
Cons: Does not support DRM, scratches easily.
Opinion:
I have owned this player for about half a year now, and compared to my last player, it is very capable. The only concerns of mine are: the fact that it scratches too easily (but there are Stik-on's for that), and that it doesn't play DRM (which is a bummer, because otherwise there are techincally no legal ways of getting music onto this player). But on a lighter note: there is an inbuilt radio+recorder, an inbuilt microphone, line-in recording (for recording off an old tape) and it doubles up as a mass storage device. This player is not a fasion statement after about 3 weeks (when it starts scratching), but other than that, it is a very capable player, and for $299AUD, this 6GB player is cheaper than an iPod Nano 4GB.

Pros: all-in-1 player
Cons: unfriendly navigation
Opinion:
apologies, 1st time commenting. Here it goes: - After using zen neeon for about 3 months, i find the navigation btw songs and folders a hassle. You gotta keep scrolling until seeing a little back arrow. And the scroll button feels flimsy. Otherwise it is a good piece of mp3 player-FMradio-storage. Fast and easy transfers (supports wma), compact design, sound quality so-so. Screen could be bigger though. Great for ppl who wants to have functions over fashion
