Hey there,
Like I mentioned before in another forum, there are a lot of options out there when picking an mp3 player. What is the reason you want to upgrade? Is it because you want more memory, more feautures, smaller size, etc?
There are a lot of very good mp3 players that definately fir your budget. And as far as Ipods go...it's just a fad.....there are so many other players out there that are better or the same as an ipod but cost so much less.
You can start by visiting my store and looking at what I have.

hi,
i decided i really need an upgrade to my creative nomad II (64mb) finally
but have no clue what to buy, there are so many options plus 90% of the people own an ipod...
i am looking for a decent mp3 player and i'm willing to spend 150 to 200 dollars. from my own research, rio carbon looks promising, but i don't know if it's sound is good. any ideas/options? thanks in advance
