Alba isn’t exactly a household name when it comes to MP3 players, but that doesn’t mean the company doesn’t try. They have just launched the MP32GD11SIL and MP34GD11BLK MP3 players that feature solid state memory, available in 2GB and 4GB capacities. Aesthetics certainly isn’t the top priority with either player, since they come in a square design, but at least it doesn’t flounder feature-wise. You get an SD/MMC memory card slot for expansion options, a blue backlit display, and MP3 and WMA file format support – the bare necessities to get you started. It relies on a single AAA battery for its power needs, getting around 10 hours of mileage. The 2GB and 4GB versions retail for £22.99 and £39.99 respectively. I’d say pick up the 2GB version and use some cash to purchase an SD card to maximize the use of your money.
