+1
It should never be more complicated than hooking it to a USB connector and copying files like a normal drive.
so I suggest the iRivers, solid, above average quality, excellent prices. |

I am very satisfied w/ my iPod mini.
So I'd recommend getting a nano (if 4GBs is enough)
or the larger new 30/60GB iPods.
Not been disappointed yet with my iPody. I love her to death. Use it almost ALL THE TIME. ;)

I wouldnt. The screens go on those things like you wouldnt believe.
After Christmas last year we has hoards of ipods being returned, not working out of the box.
We've had much better luck with products by Rio, Iriver and Creative |

I'm not a big fan of hard drive mp3 players.
Get something with a flash drive like the Nano or better yet, the Rio.
I've had this one for over 1 1/2 years and have had NO problems with it at all.
It's 256Meg builtin and expandable to 1 Gig and takes one standard AAA battery. It's solid, the menu control is exceptional, has FM radio (good for the gym) and with a good pair of headphones, sounds great.
It won't break the bank either; it's on for $80 bucks at BestBuy.
I'd recommend the next version up (512Meg built-in, expandable to 1.5Gig SD Card) however as it has a USB2.0 connection which will make uploading your songs to the player MUCH quicker...
(only $129 at BestBuy)
Whatever you choose, remember to only listen to Trance and related gendres or we will ostracize you... (kidding!) :clown: |
I had two or three of them in the past and they were too slow for my tastes. |

You must be thinking of Flash players, because most (Iriver excepted) HD players do require you to install 3rd party software to use them. Annoying as hell if you ask me. |
