Help Evasive find a new mp3 player

[Evasive]

maximum price: $200
needs more than 5 gigs
sound quality must be -really good-
battery life should be more than 12 hours

What do you guys recommend?

[RATTY...]

I need help finding one too :grin:

I was thinking of buying the new apple nano thing, since I don't like having things in my pocket at all, but its too expensive.

someone stole mine today, it was in my backpack in the locker room during gym and a hoodrat walked in and took it, i was so pissed, you should buy it its nice
Motorola M500 i think or mayb its like m300 or something

Off the top of my head, Creative Zen Touch 20GB. But you are not going to get -really good- sound quality unless you buy a portable amp too, nor are you going to get -really good- sound quality unless you buy some canalphones.

A decent compromise is the Creative Zen Touch, pair that with Sennheiser MX400 earbuds ($10).

Edit: Rip stuff with ExactAudioCopy, put it in LAME mp3 alt-present-standard form and you'll be fine.

Another

You cannot get a new mp3 player that's larger than 5 gigs for under $200 Canadian from a retail outlet. You can try ebay, and if you do I suggest the iPod Mini or the Creative Zen, although even for those, you'd be hard pressed to find anything that isn't used that is over 5 gigs for under $200 total.

Sony Minidisc's have great quality, and 56 HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE, 1 BATTERY, 56 HOURS!!!!! And depending on the size, you can hold up to a gig on one disk, i like em :grin:

[DoTheFandango]

quality is shit on a minidisc though

[Dragonscale]

The new creative Zen player, holds 5gb and you can get it under 200€ on ebay maybe in some stores too.

[Superted]

I dug out my old minidisc player yesterday actually, I'm too cheap to purchase an mp3 player.

[Krusnik]

Uh I think you need a harddrive mp3 player for that, and the cheapest you can get is that Zen thingy. This is what I have. I bought it a couple days ago, and the sound quality is great. It's above your price tag though.....

[Suh]

i was gonna make the same thread a week ago. i need something to rescue the 3000+ songs from my bfs house, i was gonna use an ipod but then there was an issue with the itunes thing clearing the ipod memory/something like that

i recommand u buy me one if u find those as well

[Bioture]

the older generation ipods serves about that purpose.

though spending another 50 bucks for a ipod nano would be justified.

[Krusnik]

I'm waiting for the next-gen ipod that has the video.
