Woops, forgot to add MD. Those are supposed to be the top 5 music players (in order)

DAT is the best. DAT has always been the best. DAT always will be the best.

sony have released their answer to the ipod with a portable music device that is the size of a credit card and holds 20gb

costs around 560-80 from bing lee i think...forgot the model name sorry

i own a zen nx myself, and its perfect for me.. i dont mind the size as i keep it in my bag anyway.. Its pretty sturdy (it survived a 3metre throw (as hard as they could) into a piece of wood (my draw), the only gripe i've had with it is that there was a problem with the zen jukebox series, where the left channel on the headphone socket stuff's up and it needs to be resoldered ( i lost my whole socket, and there a bitch to find as there smd miniture jacks, but i've found a distributor online

)

but other then that, its worked flawless

I have the Creative Zen Xtra 60GB.

Comes with case small and portable not too heavy and good sound.
approx. $500

i have the orginal creative nomad jukebox 6gb. i have to say that is the best. i had it for 3 1/2 yrs now. i also have the playdock speaker system 4 it, which i bought to take on cruise. i still havent filled it up.. i use it also in my car.. sometimes i think bout gettin new mp3 player and smaller lighter one. this ones uses 4 aa batteries. makes it heavy.
anyway thats my mp3 player

zeltra · 8th January 2005, 10:11 AM

iriver all the way

I vote for the XDA and similar devices.

Why? Because you not only get (surprisingly) decent sound, but you also get a phone and PDA. Which means you only need to carry one device, not two or three.

Of course, they don't hold as much as an iPod or iRiver or Creative device, but larger SD cards are available these days, and that helps a bit.
