If you’re looking for a neat little MP3 player with some useful added extras then the iClick Swûrv5 might just be the digital product that you fall in love with. The player can store MP3, WMA and WAV files and comes in 4 sizes (128MB, 256 MB, 512MB, 1GB).
But there’s more to this player than just digital music storage. You can also use the iClick as an FM radio, a radio recorder, voice recorder or as a flash drive.
The player itself is tiny, but can hold up to 34 hours of music. It was specially created to interface with the Windows Media Player, software you’ll probably already have on your PC. This could make managing your downloads and music storage a whole lot easier than having to deal with a new software package; this could be a real plus point.
Despite the iClick’s small size there’s a lot to play with here. The player has repeat functions, a 6 band music genre equalizer, 5 speed rates and a shuffle function. Standard accessories include:
- Cable Case
- Headphones
- CD ROM
- Manual
- USB Cable
- AAA Battery
These players range in price from $74-194, the company sells its electronics products direct through Amazon, always a good place to begin a price comparison search.

Usage Tips and Tricks
An added bonus with the flash drive element of this player is the fact that you can protect your privacy by encrypting parts of the data you store on it. To do this you can divide your flash memory into two specific sections, one will then be encrypted so your files will be hidden from public view.So, if someone uses your player or you lose it then at least you know that confidential data will stay that way.
