Need Help in purchasing Media Player
View this Thread in Original format
DamienR8
Well i have had a sony Md walkman for about 3 years (I used it to record my mixes) but the FF button dosent work anymore and the closing clip is broken.

I am planning on purchasing a new hard-drive/micro drive based media player in 1 month and i wanted to hear some suggestions on what i should get. I had read reviews on the ipod, iriver, and zen players but i would rather hear opinions from those who have actually purchased and used these players before i make my final descision.

Here are my requirements:
- max amount to spend is $250 Not a single penny more.
- No less than 20GB of memory
- Backlit LCD screen (I use it alot in all conditions)
- Built in recorder (Line In - Necessary) NECESSARY for recording mixes !!!.
- AM/FM tuner is a plus
- Decent battery life (I dont wanna be recharging this thing every day)


Thanks in advance for your help people

Thanks, Damien

two players fit the bill

iriver H120 ...has optical in/out, plus line in.. fm recorder, etc. Very clean recordings. only problem is u can't change the input level (at least when i had the unit).. maybe newer firmware fixed this.

Option option is their newer H320. . . has a color screen and line in but i dont know about optical features.

Both are little bigger than an Ipod. If only apple would incorporate a line-in and perhaps a longer lasting battery, then i would say to screw the iriver due to firmware issues, but for how, go with the iriver ...
