Of all the Mp3 8Gb Players we have to start with the beautiful Apple iPod touch 8Gb Mp3 Player, with a backlit display and aspect ratio of 16:9 on a 3.5 inch 480 x 320 pixel screen the beautiful iPod is impressive. With a battery life of 22 hrs of audio listening and 5 hrs of video you know there will be enough time for just one more movie. The overwhelming highlight of this iPod is the built in Wi-Fi hold with integrated iTunes.
Next up is the Cowon iAudio D2 8Gb Mp3 Player with Dab Digital Radio, this is an impressive Mp3 8Gb Player with an Fm radio receiver built in and the capability to view txt files on the 2.5 inch screen as well as record audio directly to Mp3. An alarm clock is also included. You can also use this 8Gb Mp3 player as a Usb warehouse device, now thats pretty neat.
Now we have the Cowon iAudio D2 Mp3 8Gb Player which does not include the radio, but still offers the voice recorder, 10 hrs of battery life when playing video files and a totally overwhelming 52 hrs of audio playtime, 4 days of audio on one battery charge thats very impressive. Mmc & Sd expansion sockets are available and you are going to need them with 52 hrs of playtime to fill.
The iRiver Clix 2 Mp3 8Gb Player does not have a bookmarking facility but does offer 24 hrs battery life Mp3,Wma,Ogg file support, an Fm radio recorder and is one of the few Mp3 players that still suppports old Windows versions like Windows 98 Se / Me / 2000 and also Xp or Vista.
With the new Nano out we must not forget to cover the Apple iPod nano Mp3 8Gb Player with a 2 inch Lcd display and the weird blue-white Led Backlight these multi-colured Nano's look the business. Unfortunately they don't come with Firewire or a Fm radio tuner, but you do get Id3 Mp3 title/artist tag hold and hold for the following codecs Aac, Mp3,Vbr, Wav, Aiff, Audible. An aspect ratio of 4:3 offers a decent photo on the 2 inch screen.
The Samsung Yp-S5 8Gb Bluetooth Mp3 Player with Slide Out Speakers is impressive and you can read about the 4Gb Samsung Mp3 Player here. The 8Gb Mp3 player version offers 24 hrs battery life and a Usb charger capable of recharging in 5 hrs. This model hold Usb 2 for fast data change but will also work in the older Usb 1 ports. A great highlight of this player is Bluetooth hold for connecting to external speakers.
We arrive at the Sandisk Sansa View 8Gb Mp3 Player and see it offers 35 hours battery life from a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack and MicroSd memory expansion slots a jpeg photo viewer and bookmarking support.
Cowon iAudio 7 8Gb Mp3 Player offers a huge range of codecs together with Mp3, Ogg, Wma, Asf, Flac, Wav and Mpeg4 video playback and can be used as a 8Gb Usb data warehouse device. A very decent 95 dB signal to noice ratio means you won't hear any buzzing like you find on some economy units. A point worth noting is that this unit has a 3.5mm line-in jack plug for auxiliary gismo connection. Rock guitar associated to your Mp3 anyone?
The iRiver L Player Mp3 8Gb Player also offers 8Gb of Usb data warehouse and folder navigation so there will be no excuse for not holding your Mp3 files organised. The built in photo viewer supports Jpeg, Bmp, Png, Gif I mean Gif who will be watching Gif files on their Mp3 system. With a Srs Wow 3D Sound law the dynamic sound production of this unit has to be heard to be believed. With Usb 1.1/2.0 this unit will suite older computers that don't hold high speed Usb.

This unit also displays Jpeg, Bmp, Png, Gif with Png hold should you ever have a need to view website graphics on your Mp3 player!
Samsung Yp-T10 8Gb Bluetooth Mp3 Player supports text only bookmarking and a Fm recorder which sounds nice but does anyone ever use the recorder on their player. This 8Gb Mp3 player comes with extra effects called road mode, clarity and sound feedback, I thought sound feedback was to be avoided!
