iRivers are fine, but...

I've heard that the iRivers are good, but the interface is hard to navigate through. I'd recommend three Creatives: the N200, which comes in 512MB and 1GB (and 8 colors), the MuVo Slim, which comes in 512MB and five colors, and the MuVo TX FM, which does come in 512MB or 1GB. They all have replaceable batteries, so that's another good thing (though the flash-based iRivers do that too). I'd also recommend the Samsung MT6V (512MB) and MT6Z (1GB), which are like the aforementioned Creatives, I believe. All are less than $200.

iRiver or Shuffle

by ITnewb Apr 14, 2005 3:04AM PDT

Those are my favorites. Plus the shuffle is about the size of a normal flash drive. Thats always nice. It depends on how many/what kind of features you think you will need besides those listed above. If price is an issue, the shuffle is obviously less that $200 by quite a bit. No screen, which i prefer, as well as no tuner, which i do miss, but it al depends what you think you need.
