This paper reviews accreting neutron stars in X-ray binaries, with particular emphasis on how variations in magnetic field strength may be responsible for explaining the spectral and temporal properties observed from the various systems. This includes a review of X-ray pulsars in both low and high mass systems, and a discussion of the spectral properties of the low mass X-ray binaries.
