I suggestions for a good MP3 player.

[65racecoupe]

I want to spend under $300 with 20 or 30Gs of memory.

I am not interested in any video or voice or whatever. JUST MUSIC.

I have windows and all of my music is under MY MUSIC (on the comp hard drive) and, of course on CDR and MP3 discs.

I like to run a lot and go to the gym. I would get some adapter for my P5 though.

So, help me out fellas.

if you are like me and want something different from ipod go with creative.

iriver makes good players and they're pretty sexy to boot: http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/hd/h10_20gb.aspx

iaudio is another good alternative to the ipod, check out the X5.

I know that the short range transmitters on the iPod work quite well for playing in the car. But I don't own an iPod, its just the whiskey demons talking. (ughdance)

didnt know the h10s are 20gb now. last time i checked they were still 5. you should go take a look at them in person. last time i felt the h10 it didnt feel solid. i think its because im used to some weight in my mp3 players. its something that didnt feel quite right.

I would go for the iaudio X5 if I had the $$$ to replace my iriver h120 right now. need more space.

Are the iriver and Creative players easy to install music into?

 

[Chiguy_2002]

When I was looking almost two years ago, the Creative was my other choice, but now I have my iPod. From the looks of them, the Creative or the iriver or the iPod would be all good choices...

Oh boy...just saw that Microsoft is planning to make an MP3 player too...

 

[DE31]

my creative is easy. havent used it for a long long time though. i think i just used windows media to transfer the music.

i believe the creative players are plug and play, meaning you just drag and drop music on to it and are able to play it

 

[DE31]

if i wanst such a rebel i woulda got the ipod. i feel so outdated now though. before the nano my zen was all that, smaller than mini, had fm radio, held more songs. i'd say get an ipod if you didnt have all your songs on your computer already.

That is something that I like. I assume you can sort your songs quite easily that way (I have to have mine organized, it drives me crazy not to.)

 

[toucci]

mine's just treated as another hard drive, so I drag and drop the folders and the folder tree is preserved

 

[DE31]

using windows media for me puts them all in their own folders, like album artist etc. for the creative zen micro you can search album, artist, or all music when you do that, i dont know about drag and drop though, never tried it.

iAudio X5, or any other of their fine players.

Do you have this? 20 G for that price is really really nice.

No, I didn't need it. Woot! does one day, one price deals till they sell out. If you're lucky, they might post it again in a few weeks. I recommend bookmarking the site.
