Microdrive MP3 players.

Oct 29, 2005 3:18AM PDT

For the last month or so, I have been looking for a good, solid Microdrive player to hold my entire music collection.
I have been looking at the Ipod nano, Iriver H10 and
the Creative zen micro.
Since the nano scartches,the zen has some kind of headphone jack problems, I was wondering if anybody can tell me if they had heard about another player they can reccomend, which won't give me too many headaches,or if anyone had heard of a new player supposed to come out soon which I should wait up for.
Thanks alot,
Mark.

Micro (suggestion)

I am about to get a Zen MicroPhoto. It really depends on your budject but I would consider the Zen MicroPhoto because it is the same price as the 4gb Nano but has 4 more gbs and hold pix, etc. THe headphone jack problem is long over. My friend has a Nano and it really doesnt get a lot of scratches if people would quit being cheap and buy a case, they have some for as low as $10. My friends Nano didnt scratch till day 3 when he brought it to school and had it in his pocket and bookbag! Plus he is a usually clumsy, irresponsible teenager. I STRONGLY recommend a Nano or MicroPhoto, just by a case!
