If getting a truly compact MP3 player is important to you then you should definitely check out the iClick Sohlo7. This tiny player is full of style but really will fit into your pocket with no problems at all. And, with players in the range offering 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB capacity then there will be a Sohlo out there for virtually everybody.
The 128MB model can store up to 4 hours of music, the 256MB up to 8 hours, the 516MB up to 16 hours and the 1GB up to 32 hours. The player only needs an AAA battery to run and this will give you around 12 hours of play time. The iClick Sohlo7 can also store MP3, WMA and WAV formats.
As an additional bonus you can also use this iClick model as a voice recorder which could be a big bonus along the way. This is a very tactile player, it has a rubberized finish which just makes it fun to hold. And, it’s absolutely no problem to use. You’ll be up and running in no time at all; the menus are very intuitive and will hold no problems for even a "newbie" digital audio user.
It’s also real easy to customize your digital listening - the player comes with a 6 band Equalizer and variable repeat mode functions so you really can make the most of your listening.
