Subscription Services and Reccomendations

by perfectionist_TN-20967982583340600535619550270102 Mar 16, 2006 1:00PM PST

Subscription services are really about how you get the music, and don't have much to do with the player itself except if it supports them.

So, no to answer your question.

Reccomendations:
- mobiBLU DAH-1500i (This thing is really tiny and cute! Comes in a couple different colors.)
- Creative Zen Nano Plus (Simple to use and come in many colors.)
- Sandisk Sansa m200's (Low price.)
