Venzero lilONE 6GB MP3 Player

Guide price: £139.99

Tiny mp3 6GB player. Barely larger than a Zippo lighter, the Venzero lil'ONE comes in a neat, elegant casing that sits easily in your hand. And its good looks are certainly not deceiving! The lil'ONE epitomizes the twin ideals of "ease of use" and intuitive navigation. An ingeniously simple four-way touchpad lets your fingers find their way swiftly and easily through music collections, a varity of settings and adjust the volume – all with just one hand. The lil'ONE is thus the perfect companion for active sports enthusiasts and other people on the move.

Like its siblings, the lil'ONE too supports the MusicMarker music recognition service. People often hear a great song while they are out and about, but no-one around them knows who is singing it or what it is called. Thanks to a built-in microphone, MusicMarker now lets you record a 10-second clip of the song and then analyze it later with the Venzero MediaManager on your PC. Venzero MediaManager compares the clip with the MusicMarker database and shows you the artist and song title in seconds.
On request, MusicMarker will even direct you to one of many online shops where you can find out more about the artist, buy the song or download the whole album.

The Venzero MediaManager software has an intuitive interface in which the MusicMarker, MediaMonkey and MyVenzero applications are all integrated.

MediaMonkey is an extremely flexible and highly acclaimed media player software program that gives you a fast, easy way to manage your entire music collection. Automated functions to tag and sort even the largest volumes of data are complemented by an intelligent auto-sync function that lets you copy music onto your player by genre, artist or album, and even lets you compile more complex playlists (such as your personal top 50 over the past six months, or all the 1970 to 1978 rock music that you have recently downloaded, say).

Although it is packed with so many tools and functions, MediaMonkey remains utterly intuitive and singularly easy to use.

Extras such as RSS support are available under the MyVenzero menu item. The Venzero lil'ONE's color display copes easily with images and text, letting you browse at will through podcasts, blogs and newsfeeds. Proud owners thus always have the latest news and favorite blog reports literally at their fingertips
