mp3 player recommendations - any?

[omfgdrphl]

I highly prefer a zune.
I agree with mac products being overpriced. 600 dollars for a program to control someone elses computer? Macbook air for over 1000 dollars and it doesn't even have a disc drive?

i was actully in tesco's last night looking at them £20 one's it was funny because the rest of there range was way over priced

ipods are too expensive and common place in today's world thats why i dont want one

i dont't want a zune because i live in the uk and don't want to import one from usa

what's so good about the zune?

You don't have to download anything like iTunes..., Too Much DRM
Made by Microsoft, iPod clone, out of your price range (I think)

Get This

It's the ZEN by creative. I'm surprised no one has mentioned one of creative's players yet, I've found them to be the best on the market, in terms of features and overall value.

You beat me to it. That's what I would have suggested. Every mp3 player these days is too cool to use a HD, so they use flash memory instead. At least with this you have an expansion slot so you can add lots more.


Also, if you're a Brit then you can't buy a Zune without importing from the US. Never been on sale over here. Probably because they're not selling very well.

You could probably get a cheap used one off of Amazon or eBay

[venus_doom]

no they are coming over here but not till 2009 even then i think in small quanteties in certian shops

Is it just an mp3 player or do also want to play videos, too?

'Cause if it's also with a video playback feature, some merchants here are selling these type of players with these features:
*Video playback
*MP3, WMA, and WAV playback
*NES emulator
*1.2 mp digi camera
*e-book reader
*picture review; and
*sound recorder

All for just under 15-20 Pounds. Sadly, they're just cheap China 3rd Party players with a not-so-long life span. Plus, you gotta ship 'em if you want 'em.

But I recommend a ZEN or Sony. Even Next Base is a good one.

Hmmmm.
That reminds me, get a sony ericson walkman.
It's a phone and a great mp3 player!

[jagz15]

He's got a point. A lotta kids in my school owns a walkman phone. That's killing 2 birds with one stone!
