MP3 Players

[ViolentGreen 0]

I am looking for a sub $200 flash mp3 player with at lest 256 MB memory. Does anyone have one that they can recommend? I am considering the iRiver IFP-190T but it hasn't sold me yet.

 

The only place that I have found reviews of a large number of mp3 players is on CNET. Any suggestions for sites?

This one is mine with an additional 128 for a 256 total. I have been very pleased with it.

 

of course you can always cough up the $$$ for an ipod

 

My $0.02

The only problem with the Sonic Blue is that the parent company was going under, and sold that division along with a DVR unit to another company at an auction. The parent company claims that it wants to keep the products in tact, but who knows for certain.

As always clutch you make a good point, but sonicblue's support for this device has been up to par ... with firmware revisions from 1.0 to 1.83 with the last one being only 3 weeks old makes me believe they wish to keep their MP3 line going.

I still have a Rio 32MB player, and support for that went by the wayside in a fairly short time. It was disappointing not being able to install it in Windows 2000, and later in XP. I might be getting a replacement in the next couple of months, but I don't know what I am going to get either. I would like something that plays OGG files as well, but there's relatively few that do that.

There is a Swedish MP3 player that is a very good one.

 

JOS MP100 128MB or 256Mb

 

Built in FM radio, just put the player in one USB-port and your OS will find the player. No extra software needed. Just copy your MP3s to the device.

 

I have not got mine yet...but I have friends who have the 128Mb version...and it is very good. I like it because it also works like an USB-memory stick.

That does look very nice. I will keep that in mind. What kind of connection does it have though? I didn't see where it said. USB, USB2.0 or firewire?

If anyone cares, I went to best buy to pick up the iRiver IFP-190T and they had all their ipods on clearence. $100 off. Very nice.
