    Flash Zunes Get Cheaper Tomorrow

    Following up Zune 3.1 and this new TV spot, Microsoft's going to announce price cuts across the board for its flash Zunes tomorrow. Not drastic or desperate, but nice, solid drops: The 4GB model will fall to $100, 8GB will go for $140 ($10 off) and 16GB for $180, down from $200, making them all cheaper than the equivalent iPod nano capacities ('cept on Amazon). Perfect if you don't like sharp corners. [Cnet]

    8GB Sansa Clips Make iPod Shuffles Seem Juvenile

    Perfect for those who need a small device for music on-the-go, the Sansa Clip from SanDisk is very much like the iPod Shuffle with its compact size and its ability to clip onto belt, purses and clothing. However, what makes the Sansa Clip stand out—and what the iPod Shuffle could benefit from—is it produces more bang for your buck with its larger selection, increased storage, built-in FM tuner, and the color OLED screen that allows users to see and choose their audio entertainment. Although it is $30 more than the 2GB iPod Shuffle, the 8GB Sansa Disk can hold roughly 1,500 more songs than the largest Shuffle, and will be available starting this week for $99.

    Dell Ditching Zing-Based MP3 Player Plans, Says Rumor

    In July there were some strong rumors that Dell would be bringing out a Zing-based MP3 player that would be a "Zune killer": but now it looks like those plans have been canned. According to the Wall St Journal, Dell had been as close as this Autumn to making at least one Zing-device, but the prototypes are being "indefinitely" shelved. Instead Dell will turn its concentration to the software aspect of Zing, and busy itself incorporating that into its upcoming PCs as music and video management software. I'll leave it to you in the comments to work out if Dell's being sensible or not. [WSJ via Electronista]

    Almost A Dealzmodo: Iriver Drops Prices on New MP3 Players

    Always classy, always feature-packed, and usually too expensive PMP manufacturer Iriver is dropping prices on their current lineup starting today. We already covered the Spinn's $50 price drop, to $190 and $230 for 4GB and 8GB capacities, and the more entry-level E100 and Lplayer drop $40, down to $70 and $100 for those same capacities. I love Iriver and it's great to see the prices coming out of the stratosphere, but Iriver's gotta bump up those capacities to be a competitor here in the bigger-is-better States. Now, a 16GB Spinn for $230? That'd be a Dealzmodo. [CNET]

    Philips Luxe Bluetooth MP3 Player Is Simultaneously Bare-Bones and Feature-Packed

    The sparkly, diamond-esque Philips Luxe mp3 player is a tale of contradictions. On the one hand, it's an mp3 player with a mere 2GB of memory, a scant 10 hours of battery life, a one-line LCD screen, and an expected price of around $90. On the other hand, it's a feature-packed Bluetooth 2.1 headset, providing 100 hours of standby time, an FM radio, and excellent sound quality. More »

    Twinned MP3 Player for the Couple that Shares Everything

Do you make out in the library while sitting next to a Gizmodo writer, totally unaware that someday he'll grumpily complain about you in a post? Well, I have the perfect mp3 player for you and your equally annoying significant other.

    iRiver Concepts Feel Straight Out of Terry Gilliam's Brain

    Apart from their Spinn 70s-retro analog goodness, iRiver had two beautiful concept products in their IFA 2008 stand which had a design that looked further into the past, as far as the beginning of the 20th century. As you can see in the video, both their Clix speaker—inspired by the shape of cathode ray tubes—and their pipe music player—which you can blow to mute (insert joke here), and connect it to a speaker resembling a phonograph horn—look both intriguing and beautiful.

    Gear4 BlackBox Micro is Micro Black Box Speaker For MP3 Gear

    Last time we talked about Blackbox gizmos from Gear4 it was a largeish Bluetooth speaker, but this new one is different. It's wired, USB-powered and designed to be a portable companion for an MP3 player. You may think size sacrifices bass power, but apparently it's got an "SFX gel" base, meaning it uses any flat surface you stick it to to amplify sound volume and bass. It's got a normal driver too, takes line-in, and can be powered with a power-brick. Gear4's site doesn't reveal exactly how small it is, but it's out August in the UK for $40. [Gear4 and Pocket-Lint]

But it absolutely dominates the competition in the areas of fast food pizza delivery. Different strokes, I guess. [Silicon Alley Insider]

    MP3 Player, Steampunk Style

    Here's how they listened to MP3s back in the late 19th century, using this steampunk Ambient Enhancer. Handmade by a guy who calls himself Porkshanks, it features a gutted pair of vintage Cannonball Empire headphones whose innards were replaced with modern-day Sony earphones. He wrapped some handmade leather and brass around an ordinary MP3 player, and suddenly he was wearing a strange-looking device that looked like some sort of steam valve on his wrist. Let's ogle a bigger picture of the player, and a couple of views of it on his wrist: More »

    Tok Tak MP3 Player Looks Like Audio Jack, Comes with Base Station

    Ah, holidays. Spend a couple of weeks on a faraway island, where the words "internet" and "connection" are met with baffled stares, and it's easy to forget what one's purpose in life actually is. And then you come across a concept gizmo like the Tok Tak and it all comes flooding back: The Giz! Her readers! Hot Verdommer and Eek-a-poos, I'd better get back to work before the editor realises that I didn't just nip out to get a packet of fags from the store. Designed by Tae-won Kim, the Tok Tak looks like an audio jack but is actually a basic MP3 player concept that comes with a base station — which, judging by the photo below, looks a bit like Tae-won got his inspiration from gazing at a smoke detector.

    Replug Breakaway Audio Connector Prevents Your Gear From Getting Pwned

    It's impossible to describe the functionality of the Replug audio adapter without comparing to Apple's Magsafe power adapter, so let's just get it out of the way now. Like the Magsafe, the Replug breaks away when you pull on your audio cable at a bad angle without messing up your hardware. It plugs into any 3.5mm audio jack (PMPs, Laptops, MP3 Players, Stereos, ect...) and connects your equipment via magnet. As someone who has sent my laptop flying off the couch/bed/table a few times because i forgot my headphones had me tethered to the computer, I welcome the Replug with open arms. Release date and pricing are still a little hazy, but expect it soon. [Replug] More »

    Mister Disc, The "Portable" LP Player

    Keeping with our tech-from-20-years-ago theme, we present you with Mister Disc. This "miniature" beauty was a portable LP player created by Audio Technics in 1983. It was even battery powered to ensure "on the go" fun. Although fun could not consist of moving or any vibrations in general, otherwise your music would come to abrupt stop. Maybe this would be a good time to take a couple of minutes and go let your iPod know how much it means to you. [New Launches]

    In the MP3 world, boring box designs might be king, but that's not stopping MPIO from trying to break the mold.

    Mini Review: Wolverine MVP 9120 PMP

    Don't get too excited about the Wolverine MVP 9120 portable media player, because we've tested it and it s pretty much a hunk of crap. Sure, its world's-largest 120GB hard drive captures your attention, but then when you notice that it's incompatible with lots of video formats, it feels positively huge in your hand in its user interface is nearly unintelligible, your enthusiasm quickly deflates into a negative state. It's frustrating, too, because the thing is feature-packed, with a 7-in-1 memory card reader, a smallish 2.5-inch color screen and a video-out port. But at a retail price of $600, its oversized price perfectly matches its oversized girth. Don t waste your money. More »

    Oh, the black box. So boring to look at, yet so full of interesting junk. And pointing out that these things just aren't as cool these days, Parasound has named its new product the NewClassic D 200 DVD Player, aimed for those of us with deep pockets (with a $1500 pricetag) and a love for old-fashioned audio components. The player includes scalable HDMI output with HDCP, Faroudja DCDi processing for progressive scan output, a two-way RS-232 port, and is compatible with every major disc format currently in use, including DVD-A, SACD, DVD+/-R/RW, MP3, WMA, JPEG, and even playback for Kodak Picture CDs and DivX video, though obviously not any HD formats (maybe they should have waited, but who am I to talk??).
