What's best MP3 player around?

Fred · 31-08-2005, 08:39 PM

I think Xmms and Amarok work just fine for my mp3s. And if I'm going somewhere, I put a cd of mp3s in my cd player in the car. Yeah, that works just great for me.

i like the iRiver mp3 players or the archos av series movie/music players...

I just use my 128mb creative muvo. Solid state

good battery life and no need for a usb cable and it also can survive the deep depths and swirlings of a washing machine. motorola makes a 5gig player that's cheaper than the iPod mini by a lot.

yeah i have an ipod mini and they're nothing special anymore, irivers are sleek and stylish and have extra functions (colour screen on miniature version, radio, mic as well i think)

Yeah that motorola looked pretty good. I belive iAudio makes some pretty slick products too.

you could always build your own one, check out http://www.myplace.nu/mp3/ here you can find the information and links to parts, kits and upgrades for a D.I.Y mp3 player.

Pretty crazy, doubt mine would work though.

Matt555 · 01-09-2005, 07:03 PM

you can get the PCB's already assembled and the case is already formed the right shape and then you can add extras like a screen, backlight, brightness controls etc.

Wow, now if only I had more money than I knew what to do with...

Today i was round my girls, and she's been given a new MP3 player its a Sony NW-HD5 and the specs are:
20GB Hard Drive Space
Firewire i394 connection
70 Hours battery life ... yes 70

its pure metal, very light, is incredibly easy to use, AND its only £160 Inc Vat. on Froogle.co.uk

Matt555 · 04-09-2005, 09:12 PM

my god, that sounds amazing...what does it have a car battery or something?! heh

ninja fetus · 04-09-2005, 09:15 PM

typical yet true, it's so much easier just hitting a button to next track than unsheathing and looking at it.

70 hours is quite the battery life, hefty price though

Matt555 · 04-09-2005, 09:18 PM

for that?! thats damn cheap...20GB hard drive+and 70 hours battery life+sony+ease of use+firewire (not USB like everything else) would make me think "damn thats gotta cost some moolah..."

Exfoliate · 05-09-2005, 12:20 AM

I don't know where you guys are looking for the specs on that Sony as all the sources I looked at, including Amazon said 40hr battery life and USB. Which is still really good but not the same. It's about $280 in the US.
