5. iRiver Clix Gen 2

The main draws of this sleek player (available as a 4GB model for $190 or as an 8GB model for $240) are its beautiful display and its unique controls. The 1.9-ounce device plays MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and WMA music files; and it's compatible with the eMusic, Napster, Sony, and Urge online music subscription services. It will also play back WMV- or MPEG-format video files. Video looked crisp and bright on the unit's 2.2-inch, AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) display. The Clix Gen 2 can play and record FM radio, and has integrated voice-recording capabilities, too. The entire front panel functions as a directional pad. By clicking up-down or left-right, you can quickly navigate the menus and make selections.
