which USB for a mp3 player...

I need a new USB cable but I dont want to order the wrong one. Is a standard USB cable the type that will fit a mp3 player (small oblong end) or is a standard USB cable like the ones with a larger square end that fits printers? :confused:

well.... it depends on what Mp3 player you have O_o

chances are it'll be the small one

but some players have custom cables.

Need to be careful there, because they're are four and five pin "small ones".

What make's the mp3 player?

Archos AV420, I didnt realise that there where two versions of the small one...whats it called? I need to know this before ordering.

I didn't realise there were two versons either, I think its called a "mini-USB" connector

//edit apparently so - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Mini_USB_signaling judging by the pic you will probably want a Mini B

USB Cable (Mini B / A) is whats listed on the Archos website, but im after getting one off ebay with a blue led inside, if I can find one...

There are even smaller connectors than those.
