DiskGO! MP3 Player Review
In a market full of digital audio players which offer every conceivable bell and whistle, the DiskGo! Digital Audio Player Secure WMA/MP3 doesn’t exactly stand at the head of the pack.

A few thoughtful touches, like FM tuning and recording as well as music clipping, are nice to see. Above all else though, this is an average player.
