Hey Coup

The problem with mp3 players is that they're either small (low on size) or bigger (but have large capacity).

They're generally either in the 64mb - 128mb range or 6gb+ range.
The smaller capacity = smaller size,
bigger capacity = Portable CD discman size.

I'm using the first Creative Labs Nomad - 64MB. I generally downgrade the tracks to about 64kb/s & then can store about 2 hours orso of music.

Do you might not get too much in the way of 1gb size, but possibly larger.

Give me an idea of what you're after & i can try & give suggestions (I used to work for Creative when the Nomad, Nomad II & Jukebox came out, so I know a fair bit about them)

thanks Widget, try, but all i found was the Archos 6000, which the only problem is size and weight, baffles me if u look at the ipod the size of it and look at the archos which is massive

I'd go for the Rio Volt MP3/CD player if u're looking for something close to 1GB. I have a Rio 500 and I'm pleased with it but it isn't working right now and I need software that will run on Windows XP.

as im sure ive said before (maybe same thread in diff forum??) i would go for the rio 800... 384bm on board.. which i think is more than enough unless ur planning on leaving the country for a while... go to www.diamondmm.com and go to 'buy' & its at the bottom of that page

I'd go for some of the mp3-cd-r-players. 700mb/disc - leech & burn.

Here`s what you`re looking for:

Imagine all the music you own will be in one hand-held portable device. The Creative NOMAD Jukebox 20GB holds up to 340 hours of digital audio using Windows Media® formatted content. Close to the size of a CD player, you can take it with you wherever you go. Built-in EAX audio technology and FourPointSurround speaker support give you the ability to customize your music for the most immersive desktop or home audio environment imaginable.

Take a look at it here:

i got a TDK Mojo mp3cd player. it play all my mp3 cds perfectly and it havent skip yet. it also play VBR and long live sets without skipping. the only problem is battery died to quickly and it wont fit in my pocket. it come with good headphones too.

I bought a RioVolt this summer... best thing I've bought in a long while. It's an MP3-CD player, so you never run out of space as long as you have more blanks to burn. Plays VBR and everything just like the Mojo, but the RioVolt is flash upgradeable, which is really nice since they put out upgrades every month or so. Battery life? 15 hours. Virtually skip proof, too.
