New MP3 Player

Oct 1, 2005 2:28AM PDT

Hi, im in the market for a new mp3 player. Ive had a Mini iPod for a year now n filled it up with music in about 6 months. I need a new player with about 20GB of space but I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER IPOD! The battery life is medicore and while there stylish and itunes is very good, i want something a little different. Ive seen the Sony HD5 but have heard that Sonic Stage software is awfull. Any comments on that and also any suggestions on a new player??

Regards, Andy!

SonicStage replaced

It might solve your reservations with SonicStage since Sony have replaced this with a more user-friendly package called Connect Player on the A3000.
