733477 2008-12-29 22:35:00 Guy’s I wonder if any of you would like to recommend a small MP3 player?

What I’m looking for must be reasonably small.
Must be able to look up an Artist or Song
Must Shuffle
Must be able to make up platlists.
Must be at least 4gig.
Must be able to search for next song whilst one is playing.
Speaker optional.
Battery replaceable, (only my thinking at this stage as I’ve heard of batteries cooking if accidentally left on charger.)

That’s about it I think.

All comments appreciated.:thanks

733481 2008-12-30 00:13:00 The Zune really isn't that bad. I'd take it over any iPod anyway of the week. wratterus (105)
733482 2008-12-30 00:24:00 Me too, tbh. I heard the software is quote bloated and buggy - is that right or is it more iPod-plugging? jwil1 (65)
733483 2008-12-30 00:28:00 :)

Nope thats dead right - software is buggy. As can be expected from MS - IMO not much worse than iTunes on Windows though. iTunes works great on a Mac but it's horrible on windows. SO slow. :(

The actual player though is pretty darn good.

733484 2008-12-30 00:34:00 Can it be synced through WMP or only through it's own program? jwil1 (65)
733485 2008-12-30 00:38:00 zAlternator does it as far as I'm aware.

733486 2008-12-30 01:16:00 If you have the Dosh, grab a Ipod touch, a hell of a lot more than than just a MP3 player.

Unfortunately the 2nd Gen can't be jailbroken yet, however even standard they are very awesome devices with wifi built in. Recently going through the exercise of a new MP3 player I just couldn't find anything else as cool and only regret not getting one sooner.
