Review

Apple's flash-based music player isn't for everyone -- users who want to listen to a particular song at a particular time will be frustrated by the minimal controls and lack of display. But other people looking for a good value and a simple device will be pleased with a music player that doesn't skip, sounds good, and plays their favorite songs with the press of a button.
