Looking to buy a new MP3 player

[Phate]

Hello people,

I've got an old and well and truely used iPod 3rd gen 20gb, it had served me well, but alas, its in need of a replacement battery, hard drive is clicking. And I now spend upto 2 hours on a train everyday, so I'm in need of a new MP3 player
looking at the current iPod's but was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions at all.

Many Thanks

i'm not too sure whether iAudio is available in the UK. They are pretty good. The other brand u can look at is iRiver.

Well, if non of the above fancy you, u should stick to iPod then..

like the look of the black iRiver


iAudio looks good aswell does anyone have one at all that they can point out the pro's and con's

right think im gonna narrow it down to either an
iRiver

or a Creative Zen Vision: M

if anyone that owns these can give me the run down on the good and bad points that would be great, i'm gonna go off and find some reviews anyway, but i'm liking the amount of feedback from this thread

main differences i can see

iRiver:

Does FM Radio
Cheaper
20GB Drive
Does not do video
Better battery

ZEN:

Does Video
Bigger HDD (30GB)
more expensive.


Now i really like the look of the iRiver, plus the radio would be nice. and i doubt ill want video but it'll probably be a case of if i got the ZEN i would love the video lol

ok gonna be looking to buy by the end of the week.

can anyone reccomend one out of the 2?

Cheers guys
