What hard drive mp3 player?

Hey,

Im after a 20 - 40 gb hard drive player. Im not bothered about price, although I would like it to be reasonably light. I'm not to bothered about the type of display either.

What do you recommend?

many thanks

Ok,
In terms of formats, im not too bothered, but MP3 and WMA would be minimum. FM radio would be good, but isn't requisite. I'm not bothered about video as it's not something I would end up using.
To put it simply I want the best around for audio.

Had a look at a few today, tried the Sony NW-A3000B, good sound quality, nice looking, nice size and weight, and a good price. Also tried the X5L, also with good sound quality, similar to the Sony's, but also with colour screen etc (although no OLED goodness), Tried the H10 5gb, also good sound quality, (where's the stop button?). I'll also try and get my hands on the Samsung to have a listen.

Not sure which to get though :\

Yeh I did like that, although the Connect software is meant to ****, the sound quality was good though, and it is a good price. Also, can you use it as a usb drive? (i.e. as a drive on a computer without Connect?)

sounds good, the fact that you can't drag and drop music doesn't bother me too much, Are you using Sonic Stage rather than Connect?

Ah ok, well I didn't think it would be a problem, NW-A3000 might be the one

Samsung YH-J70.
It's what I'd get if i had the funds. It has everything I could possibly want.

Yeh, thats something else I'm considering, I just need to get my hands on one to try it out.

iRiver I agree is good, but I when I listened to the H10 I found it didn't have as good quality as the older iRiver H3xx and H1xx ranges. Didn't seem to be a stop button on it either :S.
