Looking to buy an mp3 player, but I need some advice on which one to get. I’m pretty sure the 4GB one is the size that I want, just want some advice on which brand/model to get. So if you could list the pro/cons of your experiences with a particular mp3 player, that would be great.

I’ll look into that.
I was looking at this one. Seemed to get good reviews all over. What do you think?

They are fine, but seriously, jsut get an iPod for $50 more. You can have 10x the storage for very little more cost. It has a more natural interface/ control scheme, and they just plain 'ol rock.

Personally,I like players made by creative,iriver & sandisk.
The non HD ones,with no moving parts.
This is the one I’ve got (512mb).

I love it,I listen to it all the time and I go through about 1 AAA battery once a month.:tup:

i just got the sandisk e140 for christmas, 1gb flash and upgradeable to 3gb. i think they are like 90-100 bucks. removeable battery and it seems like it only weighs as much as a AAA batt.

I’ve seen the Philips one… not bad looking. If you don’t want iPod… check out creative or iriver for sure.
