RCA H116

While the RCA H116 isn't ugly, it lacks glossy high-tech appeal, and the absence of prominent branding gives this 2.7-ounce player a generic feel. It feels natural in the hand, and at its thinnest point, the device measures 3.5 by 2 by 0.5 inches. It's...

Basic and affordable 4GB or 6GB player; compact and comfortable design; works with WMA subscription and Audible tracks; ships with basic FM transmitter; screen easily viewable; supports UMS for driver-less transfers.

Monochrome screen; no extra features such as an FM tuner, recording capabilities, or photo or album art display; hard drive-based design not as reliable as flash-based equivalent; generic look and feel.

If you need an affordable medium-capacity subscription-ready player with no extra features, then the RCA H100 series looks like a safe bet.
