Looking for a new MP3 player

Shamikebab · 3 Aug 2007 at 13:52

I've had an Iriver H120 for about 4 years now and its served me brilliantly as an mp3 player, but unfortunately its time has come to an end. Im looking to get a new player and i've been browsing the market and im a little dissapointed to see that Iriver don't seem to really do large capacity models any more. Heres what im looking for:

Capacity: at least 20Gb, preferably higher.

must be usable as a hard drive (i.e. i can just drop files into it rather than using any software)

have an LCD screen on the remote (i haven't seen this in any other players, does it exist? i can't believe more don't have it, its so useful)

must not be an ipod

so what are my options? a friend recommended the 60Gb Zen Vision M, is this a good player?

Lots of people here will recommend the Zen Vision M

Just bought the Zen Vision M 60GB myself. Gotta say I think it's amazing, love it too bits.

Buy one.

Look at the Iaudio X5L. I also used to have an Iriver H120, and found it brilliant, particularly the ability to drag and drop music onto it. You can get the X5L in 20, 30 or 60GB, can get an inline remote much like Iriver's, and it has a 30 hour battery life. Iaudios (made by Cowon) are renowned for having the best MP3 player sound quality-Im not audiophile but even I have noticed a massive step up from my Iriver. Like the Iriver, it again can simply drag and drop music onto it, without the need for any extra software.

Simply put, if Iriver had continued to upgrade their large capacity players, this is what they would have made!
