That time of year has come folks.
My old HDD mp3 player is making rattling noises and is missing a few parts from inside it from when I took it apart to fix the usb connection. Basicially, its ed, and I need a new one.
So heres what Im looking for ->
Flash player of about 1gb.
Im not bothered about lithium/AA batteries.
Quick to fastforward through livesets. Preferably keeps its place in a track if turned off. (For continuing in a liveset)
NOT AN IPOD. ( iTunes, their DRM and everything they stand for)
Any suggestions? :) |

most definatly don't get an ipod you'll regret it rather quickly. especially that nano nonsense.
as i haven't really dealt with flash memory mp3 players can't REALLY recommend but i think SanDisk make good stuff. |

iAudio stuff has great sound.
Especially the X5, but that's HDD. |

It's made of metal, mostly, and the construction is very solid. Don't know for how long though, only had it for about a month. |

i meant the battery life and , which is the biggest problem with the iPods, though i hear with the video it's been fixed. how about backlight and fast forwarding and rewinding? |

| The ipod video is amazing, sound quality is the best I've heard, much better than the ipod mini, which I have too. |

a good reason for that is, if i checked right last time at work, is because the headphones are better :p you cannot expect nano to bust out high quality sound though. and most headphones/ear phones that come with players suck. |

Battery life is clearly better than on iPods, especially if you buy the L version, that should have 35 hours. Dunno though, but the normal one lasts way longer than my iPod did.
Backlight great, fast forward isn't as good as on the iPod, because of no scroll wheel, but it's still good enough. |
