MP3 Players

My ipod is playing up. I've had it a long time, it was an original ipod mini, so it's done well.

However, I think ipods are now vastly overpriced. Can anyone recommend a good alternative make? I just want to listen to music while on the move.

iPod Classic, I know you said you believe they are overpriced but where else can you get 160Gb of memory on an mp3 player for the price? also plays movies

Thanks birthday brother, I'll file that thought under "to be considered if can't find another reasonable option". Might go that route, just want to consider my options first. Cheers.

Anything by Creative I've always found them very reliable.

MrsF has a Zen and I have a Sansa - both pleased with them.

I prefer the idea of a solid state rather than disk, so it I ever get the urge to do some exercise, I can take it with me and not worry about it getting trashed.

Sony mp3 players are very good.

iPod? It'll never catch on.

Brothers got one - works well.

How sucked into itunes are you? If you're used to podcasts automatically downloading and syncing or have bought any itunes content then you might regret going anything other than ipod.

I've had a couple of Creative players and one Sony. None of them were as good as the iPod Classic I now have.

The Creatives had crap interfaces. The Sony had poor song access times (always had a spinning 'please wait' icon when navigating about) and even worse software.

So I'm not at all suprised Apple have cleaned the floor with the competition.
