iPod alternative? The Toshiba Gigabeat 40 gb

While Apple’s iPod maintains a tight grip on the hard-drive based MP3 player market, there is an increasing number of quality alternatives like the Toshiba Gigabeat audio player jumping in the fray.

The Gigabeat’s 40 GB can store around 10,000 songs; more than enough for the average collection. It provides 16 hours of battery life and can be recharged through your PC with a USB cable. It also comes with 28 equalizer settings which can be adjusted according to the type of music you are playing: jazz, rock, piano and so on.
The Gigabeat comes with a 2.2 inch screen with 65k colours and 240X320 resolution. You can download and view any still images from your PC and create a slideshow set to music. You can also download album covers and browse through your collection by cover.

Transferring your music collection from your CDs to your audio player is often a chore but the Gigabeat comes with a neat feature called CD RipRec. Place the CD in your PC and the Gigabeat in its dock-cradle and press the CD RipRec button. Without any further effort the contents of the CD will be transferred to the player.
