MP3 PLAYER

[Hooah4 12]

ok so I'm al little late on the bandwagon......couple of years to be exact. Can anyone recommend an MP3 player? I don't want to spent the money on an iPod, and I don't need that amount of storage. Any brand better than others? Or should I just go to Wal Mart?

Try a mini disc player. I think they are under 150$ now.

If you want a really cheap but alright mp3 player with good memory go for the RCA Lyra. I got one for my cousin on his birthday. It was a 128mb for $80 CDN. Its small too.

I bought a 30GB Creative Nomad Zen on sale last summer for $200, which was a great price given the storage. It's easy to use and I've had no problems.

I did the research, read the reviews, and came to the conclusion that the iPod is an excellent product, but it's commanding a premium for its name. Other manufacturers are making MP3 players with similar ease or quality.

When buying a MP3 remember the battery cost then relate the price to the Ipod. As you know the Ipod has a rechargable battery so once you pay the 199 for the Ipod Mini you will not have to pay for batteries every week, which add up.

you could just go to Hong Kong and get one for $15

Cuz a plane ticket to Hong Kong is cheap.

Unless they guy is near HK.

i have one of these and would not recomend it because it only holds 30 songs.

or at least mine does.

i second the mini disc player. i got one a few years back when they were in the $250 CDN price range, and i love it. they're helluva lot cheaper now. each disc can hold 5hrs of music, and i think there are new GB discs that can hold more. the battery life is what i love the most for mine, one AA duracell will last me months of continuous use

The minidiscs are great. For $100 CDN you cant go wrong and most of them have 40+ hours of battery life. Holds alot of music on a disc too

Is there a reason you couldn't use rechargable batteries on one of those other units? Would maybe give you performance a bit closer to the iPod, then.

My Nomad Zen came with a rechargeable battery. I'm guessing it lasts about ten to twelve hours at a time.

Plus its upgradeble. You can get a 1 gb card for 50 bucks now.
