i was never interested in mp3-harddisc-players, so i've less infos about them ...
Hi, I am new to this board - but I need help on making a purchase on a new MP3 Player.
I am willing to spend upto $350.
I want this player to last - and I don't want the typical Ipod or Mini -> unless that is the best option.
I want it to be at least 1gig and have a decent battery life (12+ hours)
I would like it to have a FM Tuner.
(Color Screen, Video, etc is cool but not neccessary)
I have heard many things such as the new Sony Network Player (NW-E407) - has great playback sound, amazing battery life - but can't be seen in the outdoors.
I have heard some things about the Cowon iAudio x5 (so far it seems ok)
I have also seen online the H20 from Iriver and the Olympus m:robe player.
The main thing is I want great sound, for a good price, great features and that it will last.
Thank you very much.
