The Good
Good value for a solid if unspectacular player; easy to operate; compatible with DRM-protected WMA files; decent sound quality
The Bad
No major extra features; mediocre battery life; scroll barrel is no match for iPod Click Wheel; Janus DRM support is coming, but when?
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a simple high-capacity player and don't want to pay for extra features, the Dell Pocket DJ is a fine choice.
