Looking for MP3 player with good fast forward/rewind

Mar 10, 2009 11:30AM PDT

I am looking for an mp3 player that has a good fast forward/rewind function. Particularly one that can skip like 5-10 minutes at a time with a single click.

I do not need any other fancy features. I'd like it to be small and inexpensive. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

secutanudu,

I don't know how small or inexpensive you were looking for, but the Samsung P2 has a great FF/RW feature that is really good for long files.

I made a short video showing how it works. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Glad you liked that.

You might look for a good deal on the P2 units, as the P3 units will be coming out relatively soon. The difference is that the P3 will be very similar to the P2, but the P3 will allow for open-source widgets (mini applications), as well as it has a vibrate feature that reacts when you select things on the interface.

So with the release of the P3 before too long, you might be able to pick up a P2 for reasonable, since price seemed to be a consideration.

Anyway, best of luck in your searches!
