What's hot this week

MP3 Mailbox Monday
Almost two months ago, I started a new blog column called MP3 Mailbox Monday. Each week, my in-box is flooded with questions from around the world, and while a handful of them are very particular to the individual asking, most apply more generally to a certain use or scenario to which many people can relate. The Mailbox feature provides a space where I can answer a selection of more general questions about MP3 players and accessories, such as headphones, speakers, and music services and software. You can participate in two ways: e-mail me directly with your questions, or keep an eye on the column to see if the advice might apply to you. Head to the Mailbox

Small MP3 player for car stereo
Posted by Ms.Gadgettes
For mother's day my brother and I got my mom a car. We decided to upgrade the stereo with the THX II sound system, with the MP3 jack and Sirius radio.

We were wanting to also get her an MP3 player to use in the car, but weren't really sure what to get. She doesn't like complicated things, just something simple that does what it is supposed to do, but does it well. Read more
