Hi guys,
Looking at buying some form of small player for playing MP3 and other formats are just a bonus. I'll explain the main uses below then hopefully anyone with some experience in this area can give me some hints on some good models..
Basically i'm looking for something to meet these specs...
Size - small as poss, though as long as it fits in my pocket that's just fine
Cost - Max of £40
Supported Formats - MP3, and anything else is a bonus
Storage Space - 10gb, but less is fine providing i get a decent amount of tracks on it, i can rip tracks fine so no worries about HUGEEEEEE files....
Brand - not fussed, anything that won't die quickly
Battery Life - This is an area i'd like to focus on, so any recommends on either something i can charge or lasts long is a great addition
I'm only after something that i can listen to for a few hours a day minimal for learning French (have CD's but will rip them to MP3), but i'd still appreciate something i can use for music on the way to work etc....
Few family members have ipods, and i know they're pricey, but i'm not in need of something quite so flash, i can personally think iTunes sucks balls..... though i could be persuaded if the price suits.
Last time i listened to music on the move was using a walkman (for playing cassettes), so i'm really not upto speed with this MP3 player tech....
Any hints, tips or suggestions are welcome guys.....
TIA
P.S. If i'm asking too much for the budget, just point it out, i can either increase the budget or lower the requirements, either way i need an MP3 player.... so please feel free to comment guys..
