Spec me an MP3 player for under £150

[Hugogo]

I've been wanting an mp3 player for ages but there are just too many to choose from i was nearly going to buy a zen micro but ive heard bad things about the headphone jack? (How it goes quite quickly etc). Can anyone elaborate on this?

Other than that i dont mind what i get id rather steer clear of the ipod (unless theres a new updated version of the nano coming out soonish?). I want something with good sound quality and good battery life (Sound quality is more important).

I know its another one of these lame i cant make up my mind threads but i would quite like help choosing one .

Thanks

I was the same as you mate, looking at the zen micro until i read the problems with the headphone jack going every few months. Eventually decided on an Iriver H10, which is a lovely player with great sound quality, however the HDD went in mine, so its back to the shop on RMA at the minute, wouldnt hesitate to recommend it though.

It feels so bad only having a minidisk with 70 songs, hope i get it back quick before i go mental.

Haha im exactly the same with the whole minidisk thing. Gah I want more!


Oh and as for speccing me one size should be 2gb or bigger.

In order:

Sound Quality
Battery
Size
software (please dont suggest a sony one i have a sony net MD and sonicstage annoys me so much!).

Mmm i dont want it to be overly large because i want to be able to go running with it. But at the same time not to small.

Oh yes im fussy .
