anybody have a good recomendation for a good solid player in the $50-$90 range thats going to handle cold weather and the like?
i liked my riovolt. had some good features. worked well for skiing.
it died on me after two years of abuse...
Here are a few possibilities:
Creative Labs Nomad IIc - 64MB MP3 Player
-Issues with it: earphones are only average.
Sonic Blue Rio S30S 64MB MP3 Player
-Issues with it: Short battery life, FM tuner blows
Sonic Blue Rio S10 64MB MP3 Player
-Issues with it: menu system sucks
Creative Labs Nomad IIc - 128MB MP3 Player
-Issues with it: no fast forward (you can only skip)
Irock 530 MP3 Player
-Issues with it: No backlight on the very small LCD display
Panasonic SV-SD50 MP3 Player
-Issues with it: no backlight.
Of all these choices, I'd probably go with the Panasonic. Great battery life, good sound, can be had for around $80.
Hey Slider,
do you happen to know how many MBs the Panasonic holds?
-Looking to purchase-
It only holds 64, but I believe it's upgradable to 128.
If you've got the bucks, iPod is the way to go. Those puppies go up to like 30 gigs.
if you're only listening to it for an hour or so at a time, flash memory players are great.... but if you're gonna be doing it for...say...3-4+ hours (skiing) they suck.
seriously....cd mp3 and minidisc players can be had for pretty close to the same $$$ as flash players. you'll be a lot happier w/ a longer playlist.
edit: don't ever let the factory included earphones influence your purchase -- they're all gonna blow.
Ipod shuffle now available for $49.00
And the last was first.....
