| 602037 | 2007-10-16 04:59:00 | Right, I'm in the market for a new Mp3 player, Advice sought from all experts and non-experts alike, Including those who sell them. That doesn't include Apple fanboys. Alright, The requirements Must Haves Must be fully functional without the need of any additional software. This is the biggest issue. Prefer under $200 FM Tuner (that works well) at least 2GB Built strong Small Good battery life. Prefer to have but not deal breakers Screen rechargeable battery Any real user experience would be handy, The $99 jobbies at DSE are probably a contender unless someone has some negative feedback on them. Supplied head phones are a non-event as they will be getting thrown out with the packaging. |

| 602038 | 2007-10-16 05:20:00 | I've known a few people who bought the cheap DSE mp3 players lately, and all of them had to be returned. | Greven (91) | ||
| 602039 | 2007-10-16 05:26:00 | You could probably try a Creative Muvo or Zen in that case since I think they come with most of the stuff your looking for. According to reports they sound great. Only catch is that most accessories on the market cater for the rather large iPod contingent. I am sure that Apple will survive without your custom, Metla. |

Remembering I'm not gay, and if I want to listen to music without headphones then I would use my Stereo or my PC. |

| 602041 | 2007-10-16 05:55:00 | Uh...those FM tuners for one. How many decent MP3 players come with built in FM radios these days? (No seriously, tell me) And lets not forget accessories to connect to your car stereo...if you have one. But then again, since when are accessories vital? They're not. Hence the name accessory. But without them, you're either paying big bucks for a "complete player" or paying for something half decent that you've never heard of before and ends up being crap. And when does having an accessory speaker make you gay? Does that mean all MP3 players with built in speakers are gay? Or if you buy one, you're gay? |

Remembering I'm not gay, and if I want to listen to music without headphones then I would use my Stereo or my PC. In your case, irrespective of sexual connotation, probably nothing if your not looking for any add ons. I would imagine that all you will be using will be a standard MP3 to stereo cable to connect. And when does having an accessory speaker make you gay? Does that mean all MP3 players with built in speakers are gay? Or if you buy one, you're gay? In Metla's "esteemed" opinion, any person who has an ounce of design or creative flair in their soul or who might wish wear or use something that is well designed or looks half way decent is considered gay. |

| 602046 | 2007-10-16 06:15:00 | Be wary of the thin DSE ones. I've had my mums one replaced already after it just stopped working. And the plastic 'screen' cracks quite easily. |
