basically i'm looking for an mp3 player (10GB +) which is very easy and quick to move sets along, for example i might like the last hour of a three hour set and rather than holding down >> which takes fecking ages i want to be able to scroll along through the track like you can do with media player or winamp. as far as i can tell the ipod can do this although does cause issues with battery life? are there any other mp3 players that can do this,
muchos thank you COR. :D |

i have an iPod...i dont think it can do that :( although i haven't tried
that would help alot...instead of forwarding through 90 mins of set

i dont think so, the hd3 size is nice too and the battery life is official. i can go like 3-4days with average use (train to and from work, at the gym) before i even need to think about recharging. the hd5 looks kinda bulky ala ipod knock off. the only thing that really sucks about sony is the software to transfer the files. seriously it sucks but if you can deal with it and get it to do the essential (xfer, rename) you should be fine. |

thanks. i couldnt find any reviews, just the specs on the hd5. it seems like no one really likes the software that comes with any of their mp3 players. :p |

| On my iRiver ihp-120, I use a setting called something like study mode or something so that when you move the little control stick over, it jumps forwards/backwards 2 minutes instead of switching tunes. Makes getting through sets a lot easier. Granted, on big ass sets, it will still take awhile, but it's good enough for me. Plus I don't have to use gay ass iTunes. |
