The Sansa range has been a favourite of a few of our staff, and the addition of an 8GB edition for the same price as a 4GB Nano is extremely welcome. Obviously it's not as slim as Apple's effort

At last, a sign that Sony is recovering from the insanity that has gripped it over the last few years. This flash-based Walkman has, counter to recent tradition, both a pleasantly usable interface and decent desktop software.

Pure Digital's version of the portable DAB manages to be bigger and better than many rivals, this despite the fact that it doesn't allow MP3 playback. Pure Digital does make a unit featuring MP3 functionality, but it's bulkier and pricier than this option

Following Pure Digital's One's dabble with a TalkSPORT branded digital radio comes Roberts' flirtations with both Virgin Radio and Classic FM (the Gemini RD-49 is available with both stations' branding)

Prices for DAB radios for kitchens and bedrooms have dropped as quality has increased over the last year, the same isn't true for portable devices. Finding a reasonably small, effective and good value portable DAB radio is nigh-on impossible

The sun has set on the cassette format and countless tapes now languish in the twilight of dusty storage boxes. The Plusdeck2c is your chance to rediscover your old music and let it bask in the bright rays of the digital age

While Intempo has sought the attentions of a new generation of radio listeners with its gaudy KTM-02, Roberts has been a little more conservative with its 'Rambler'. So much so that it looks like a museum piece

In many ways Revo's Uno DAB radio is a lightweight version of Vita Audio's product. Besides its shocking pink fascia and black speaker and panels, the Uno displays the same upright design with controls built over a lower mono speaker

While we have got used to the little black boxes that so often enclose today's top tech, we're not averse to something completely different. A shame, then, that the effect of flowers crawling over this radio's bright blue body is, frankly, hideous

Not many of the digital audio players on the market record, and most that do have pretty limited quality and/or require an add-on adapter. This nifty gadget is principally a recorder, although it does also play

This 'invisible shield' is apparently made from the same material that the military uses to protect helicopters. James Ellerbeck thinks this is a bit excessive for an iPod...

This is a top-end FM transmitter that should appeal to anyone who wants to broadcast their iPod to a car radio. Features a high signal strength and RDS transmission for compatible radio.

Well, it makes a change from leather. Burning Love has decided that the best way to keep your iPod safe is in a furry posing pouch that wouldn't look out of place keeping your winky warm on a winter's evening.

Now that iPod FM tansmitters are widespread in the UK - and given that this cradle is compatible with XtremeMac's own AirPlay - this in-car nano holder should appeal to many of the iPod-toting public.

Denon's always near the top of the tuner tree. Now it bears DAB fruit

The Roku SoundBridge Radio draws on the technology that did so well in the heart of Soundbridge M1000 and slides into a standalone unit.

Here's another take on the 'getting the design wrong' look: the Gemini RD-22 looks far too much like a clock radio. But, with excellent sound, the mains operation-only Gemini belies its old fashioned silver front with a quality wood build.

Imagine if Apple released a budget version of its iPod that was made of black shiny plastic that didn't have a clickwheel - and cost only £50. That may not be Apple's style, but that's the approach Pure Digital has taken...

Options for high quality portable sound recording devices that offer flexible recording formats and quick editing are relatively few, but here's one option - the Edirol R-09.

An amp and speakers in a box less than one foot long each way? Sounds cheap. Sounds nasty. But don't be hasty. Yes, this is aimed at the iPod generation, but after all you can connect a 'real' CD player or radio with an adapter lead

Unfortunately for the winner of the Red Dot design award,the user interface reflects none of the sleekness of its outside design. A major complaint is that the JM53 doesn't come with a paper manual

We've all suffered from discs that have become scratched or that have been burnished over time. While this gadget looks like it belongs in an Innovations catalogue, it's an ingenious device for repairing said scratches
