New mp3 player needed..

[Cookie]

That's not a f**king iPod

I don't care how great you think the interface is, the SQ is s**t on every one I've fucked about with (with the exception of my girlfriends miniature Shuffle, which is pink) and I hate iTunes to the very depths of my soul



Requirements are... small-ish, light-ish, need one I can just drag and drop shizzle on to. Have no fancy requirements for odd audio formats, just something that'll play my mp3's to and from work, and at the gym.

Have used iRiver stuff in the past, but not for a while so don't know if there's anything decent in their current range.

Budget is ~£200

(Just to reiterate, not Apple products )

iPods (just like every thing else from crapple) are w**k - fact.

IMHO I would avoid any MP3 Player with a big screen if your going to be using it at the Gym. I have had 2 with LCD Screens end up breaking due to them being in my pocket while using some machines at the Gym.

I would say something like this:

Or wait until the 16GB is released. Fantastic sound quality, really thin and light.

It's a bloody MP3 player. The biggest sound quality problem is the MP3 format itself!

True, but Apple's SQ is still s**t

Not noticeable through £3000-worth of kit in my motor...

Refer back to my original argument of I hate iTunes and Apple in general, then

Me too, but I confess that IMO iTunes is the best way of organising tunes.

If you can get hold of a Zune, they're pretty good...

I did pay attention to your post, honest Probably should have replied to you instead

It's a great MP3 player. Drag and drop couldn't be simpler. Not the sturdiest of things, much like SE mobiles but I have the previous model and it's great. Would recomend with the in ear rather than the Bluetooth headphones. They sound good but reduce battery life, you can get them with either.

As said, sound quality is fantastic.

Have a SE mobile atm (W880i) that is standing in, does the job but it's only got a weeny 1 gig card in it.

Will probably buy some different headphones anyway
