Also, I am in cross country and track, and I am wondering if there is an armband for this player so I can listen to it when I go for a jog.
I've done my research and have decided to sell my ipod mini and get this amazing product. Only problem is, I am unsure which one I should get. At first I decided to get the X5L 30gb. After consdering it, I'm wondering to myself if i really need the 35 hour battery life compared to the 14 hour, and do I really need an extra 10 gb. For for $90 more, I can have both, which is a great deal. Just wondering what your opinions are.
