Deciding on an mp3 player

by woplou Mar 14, 2006 5:02AM PST

i have been reading reviews on many mp3 players, attempting to find one that suites my needs. the biggest problem i have is finding a flash-memory (for running and jogging) player that supports multiple playlists. i don't want a player that just lists the songs and cannot categorize them.
what i want:
1. at least 1G
2. the ability to create playlists
3. possibly a color screen
if anyone could help me decide, i would greatly appreciate it.

ipod nano's battery
by daveschimmel Mar 15, 2006 3:06PM PST

I am also looking for a small player to run with, but I read that the Ipod nano's battery drains quickly.

Any insight?

RE: ipod nano's battery

I find the nano's battery life to be more than suitable. I get around 12.5 to 13 hours of battery life. Which isn't to far off from what Apple projects (14hrs). That should be more than enough for the average user.

If you want info one how long the battery will last before you have to change it here is one of my post explaining the lifespan of the batery in the nano. Basically the battery will last a long time, it'll last as long as any rechargeable lithium can last.

Those people who say you only get 13 to 15 months before you must change the battery are lying and have most likely never even seen an ipod.

If you want more information on iPod I recommend you go here.

You'll be able to get helpful answers to any question about iPods. Those people are real iPod owners, so we know what we are talking about Wink
