I am thinking about buying a hdd based mp3 player with good sound quality. I have tried a iAudio mp3 player before and found its bass amazingly powerful. However, some of my friends recommanded me the Creative since it's a sound card maker and its players should have good sound quality as well. Just, I am a bass head, so bass would be a major concern for me. Besides that, I wish to use this player as a portable HDD. It would be great if the driver, cradle and external power are not required for connecting to a new computer. It would be great if you professionals have other recommandation besides those two.~~^^
