MP3 player advice? (1 Viewer)

[Corm]

Okay, I can't resist the technological revolution anymore & i'm highly covetous of everyone's MP3 players. I've got too much deadly music on computer-only and it's too much hassle constantly burning it to CDs to record to tape to listen on my walkman...and them yokes are fuckin deadly...

I want to get one that's at least 20gb memory, does anyone know or have any experience of which are better made, as in won't break really soon?

Anyone know particularly cheap places to order them off the internet?

What do you reckon of this deal?

probably ok for a refurbished one ,but u'll haveto look into ordering from the U.S, with paying duty ect, its handy to have someone over there

I wouldn't touch Creative, I use I-River myself (30gig)

I also recommend buying one that uses a normal battery like my i-river does, most people think it's better to just charge up etc but when out and about no matter where you can just insert/buy a battery anywhere, you cannot say the same with a charger etc

I-River also has an excellent customer support site along with a good fan base site.

I_Rivers also include the SRS WOW technology

Also so easy to get ya stuff of the pc onto 'em they have super transfer speed usb2.

The USA version is better then the european version as the euro versions have that french law where volume is restricted.
You can also use a free proggie called mp3 gain to give a higher volume to ur mp3's

I've had trouble with 2 different creative players shutting down my PC as soon as I plugged em into my PC. I'd go with an I-river too. Not sure on models or whatever

Which in my experience just makes everything sound like shit.

I quite like it......alot of Punk songs are too low, this give sit more bite, they're many diff combinations of WRS WOW to try anyway.

I also use it on WMP
