Meizu Mini Player SL

Eighty quid for an 8GB player with Flac and AVI file support is a decent combination in anyone's language. The sound could be better and the control interface takes some getting used to, but other than that it's not a bad little player. The bundled reformatting software is best avoided, though, and we would have liked the ID tag recognition to have been more thorough.

Small, neat and clever, the Lplayer is one of the better mini MP3 players we have come across simply because it combines a small and tidy form-factor with a reasonably sized screen and pretty good sound.
