Im So Vain
My dad asked me what I wanted for graduation and besides a car I said an mp3 player. I do not know what kind to get though. So does anyone have any recommendations?

Creative Zen Micro.

A PSP? So she can spend 250$ on the player and then 150$ on a decent memory stick? Pshaw.

Zen Vision baby.

Ew, I hate the Zen Micro. I know I'm in the minority around here, but the iPod really is great. Unless you want the Nano, which is a horrible deal. I'd recommend the iRiver.
EddieV
If you're planning to get the Nano I recommend the iRiver Clix, it's smaller than a Nano, same size as a credit card, not as thin though, same price and does more than the Nano, plays videos too!

I gotta agree with the Creative Zen mp3 player... they're reasonably priced and they have a good memory and playback.

course, you could go with the crowd and get an iPod. they're a little more expensive, but you can access podcasts. _smile.gif

Shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about. Please go drown on your own vomit.

No. The iPod isn't great. If you are looking to throw away 300 dollars, then you'd be better off giving it to some crack addict than buying one of these worthless piece of shits. How could you hate the Zen Micro? The Micro can kick the iPod Mini's ass, if they made it anymore. It's a good player, with better sound qualities, and now theres the Microphoto. You also have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok, here we go. It all depends on what type of music listener, memory, features, and size.

If you are going to go small, with a decent amount of music, go witha flash player.
iRiver t10-t30
iAudio u3 <-- this is a beast of a player. The only problem might be it's price. This one also probably has the best sound quality
Creative Muvos
The Sandisk Sansa c100
If you can find it, the Olympus M:Robe 100i
The Mobiblu DAH 1500i <-- One of the worlds smallest Mp3 players


I forgot what they were called, but it was inbetween the Flash and Hard Drive based players.
iRiver h10
The Sansa c300
Any of the Samsung Yepp series that fit in this category.
Creative Zen Micro/Microphoto
Theres more, go look em up. These are just some of the ones I'd recommend, I had a whole list, but I forgot most of them.

The Harddrive based players.
iRiver h300<-- If you can find it
iAudio X5, or the cheaper m5
iAudio 6 if you can import it
Creative Zen Vision:M
Olympus M:Robe 500i
Or a Rio mp3 player, those are good too.
Toshiba Gigabeat
Even a Archos Mp3 player.

If you more into Video, then I recommend a PMP.
Creative Zen Vision
Archos AV500
Cowon iAudio A2
iRiver Pmp-100
iStation v43
Archos Gmini

All mp3 players can play podcasts.

I had a guest coming to me yesterday, he went. "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GETTING THE iPOD!" I wanted to laugh.
WolFii

EddieV
^ No FM Tuner and Voice Recording.
magicfann
:O~ u can listen to teh radio too lol screw downloading songs, listen to the radio and record the songs u like
EddieV
The best quality is if you rip the music from your CDs and throw them into your MP3 player.
Comik-knerd
I wouldn't know becouse i don't have one myself and i really want one!
EddieV
^ You can get a pretty decent flash based player for only $50.
Crich323
