MP3 players...suggestions? So...looking for some advice/suggestions...
I ruined my iPod and haven't gotten around to try & fix it (got wet...the Apple store declared it dead...I found info online about changing the faceplate as a possible solution...but ).
So I've been using my old Sansa player, which had great sound, though nowhere near as cool as the iPod...but now I've LOST it.
My cell is a company phone with very little memory, so I don't want to load music onto it.
I don't necessarily want to pay IPod money, but I want something better than the average mp3 player.
Anyone have something that they want to recommend?

Creative makes really nice sounding mp3 players. I owned an older creative NuVo years ago, and really enjoyed it. The sound was great.
A step up from the m300 is the Zen products, which are android based (so I'm guessing you may be able to root it and side load android apps on it). The price point goes up on the Creative Zen to around $140 us bucks though, and I would just recommend going to an iPod nano (if you can wait till September) or going with a iTouch for $50 more bucks at that point.
The problem with competing mp3 players is not sound, that's for sure. I loved my creative ones. It's with software and music selections (if you get your music legit--The iTunes store is now by far the largest online music store, unless you go with the Russian ones).
Look into the Zen. Alot of big box stores sell them, so you may be able to see a demo of one before buying. | |

for under a hunit bucks i have the PHILIPS 16gb Ariaz GoGear i've had as many as many as 3,945 songs on it at one point but scaled back for new entries. it also carrys still photos, videos, eBooks and records. OOps, it's actually concidered a MP4 my old one is philips aria 16g mp3 it goes for about the same price maybe $10 cheaper and does all the same EXCEPT the MP4 has speakers on it and a couple of other features not found on the MP3.

I can get a replacement (refurbished) iPod Touch 32GB (no camera) at the Apple Store for $150.
When I said "iPod money" that's what I meant. My Sansa was $70.
Being able to web browse & download apps on it was awesome, but ultimately it's the MUSIC that I need.
Who the hell am I kidding...I'm gonna go buy that damned iPod, ain't I?

I'll check it out.
...although...we bought my daughter a Phillips MP3 player with web browser at Best Buy for her birthday, and the damned thing kept FREEZING.

I'd probably get an iPod shuffle. Even the smallest can hold 500 songs and it's 50 bucks or less. | |

You know, I've considered it.
But for a few bucks more, my Sansa had an LCD display.
Which is ridiculous since I rarely used it that way.
I think I'm just trying to talk myself out of the iPod Touch and it's not really working. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

I have the 64g Touch and I'm not gonna talk you out of getting one because I love mine. | |

Do they have a waterproof version...? By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Listen to Stymie. Ipod: Shuffle or Touch.
I'd wait on the Touch because an new release should be coming in the fall Sep/Oct. I have a shuffle for walking/riding my bike...just clip the damn thing on and go. | |

I use my iphone, but if I was going to get another dedicated one I think I would consider battery life as much as anything. The touch can't have great battery life, can it? My Legacy

It wasn't great, but it definitely was better than my damned cellphone. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Specifically for the gym, I would get a nano or something very small. I don't want to hold it, and the one time I jogged with my ipod classic it fell off of the clip and into the dirt! My Legacy

You're freakkin' RIGHT.
The one thing about the Touch was it kept falling out of the arm-band holder at the gym.
Maybe I need a nano... By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Make sure it does NOT need Windows Media Player in order to "detect" the songs, otherwise it will function as a pen drive, not as a mp3 player...
Avoid CREATIVE at ALL COSTS !!!!

HELL YES! I can definitely big up the Creative products. Still got my 4gb Zen, that's going strong...only downside is volume...either I'm going deaf or I could do with a couple more notches of volume. My other half has the Creative Pebble which is a great little 1gb player.
My sister recommended them original. Not sure what her first Creative was but I borrowed it for a two week trip to the States and I was sold. Brilliant product, and you haven't got to wrangle with I-Tunes and the Ipod which I've found to be the most un-user-friendly programs and products ever! www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |
