Need Help On Decision

by smitty413 Nov 28, 2005 8:55AM PST

I am not a noob! I just need help deciding on a new flash player. My Zen Micro's hard drive is apparently damaged. It will still work but it will skip around a lot and shut off on its own and lock up. So I am looking for a flash player. I will have to wait atleast a month after christmas but I am wanting to go ahead and start researching now...

Here are my choices:
Creative Labs - Zen Nano Plus 1GB* MP3 Player
iRiver - 1GB* MP3 Player
iRiver - 1GB* MP3 Player with Color Display
SanDisk - 1GB* MP3 Player

I really like the iRiver color display. I don't have to have the color display but it would be a definate plus...

I am wanting a removable AA or AAA battery so if you try to recommend one on the list make sure it has a removable battery. I do not like having to charge my mp3 player all the time! Thanks in advance for your input.

I would really like some opinions I have read reviews of all of them and they are all rated around 4... which means it really doesn't matter which one I go for. I have a $200 budget though.

check Cowon iaudio u2

Just another to add to your list is the cowon iaudio u2. Good reviews on CNET and other sites I've checked. Color screen is on the iaudio u3, but it costs a bit more.

The Zen nano is a great player, but i would go with a sandisk sansa m200 series. The are CHEAP (not because they are not good, but because they make their own chips, unlike ipods) and are loaded with lots of features and have good soung.

Anyway, between them i believe is your option.
