Creative has launched Sound Blaster MP3+, a USB-powered audio playback and recording system.

The £39.99 unit is the size of a pack of cards and is essentially an alternative to a Sound Blaster add-in card. Suitable for notebook and desktop use, it packs in digital and analogue audio in and out, and can handle 16-bit sound sampled at up to 48kHz. Its headphone socket has its own volume control. A removable clip allows notebook users to hook the unit onto the back of their screens.
