Hoorah! Finally we find an MP3 player that displays the track name on the LCD screen.

The D'Music player (an earlier version of which we've reviewed here) looks very similar to the Rio player. In terms of functionality it doesn't differ much either - there's random and A B play, for example, alongside repeat play. But the casing is made out of a strange plastic that feels better to the touch.

Sound quality was also very good indeed, with the in-ear headphones producing a clear sound. We reckon that perhaps it wasn't quite as punchy and well defined as the Rio, but it was close.

Like the Philex player, the D'Music player is able to record voice via a built-in microphone although, unlike the Philex machine, there's no line in to record from an external source. Once again the recorded sound quality is poor although Pine claim that you will get around 2 hours and 15 minutes recording time formerly you fill the memory, which is not bad going.
