Which MP3 player?

[thehstrybean]

OK: I'm lookin to buy a mp3 player...which one?
iAudio U2
iAudio U2 Review by CNET

iAudio 4
iAudio 4 CNET Review

iAudio G3 (Couldn't find a CNET review...)

SanDisk Player

If I went with any of these, I would probably get the 512MB models...now the question is: which one? Anybody own any of these?

 

[Kipper]

Sandisk mp3 = :thumbsdown:

I have it. It sucks. It's currently on eBay.

 

[Shawn]

First one looks the coolest.

 

[thehstrybean]

Woa...that was fast...The only reason I put that one was because 1) it's on sale at Circuit City....2) It looks like the U2...

Just wondering, but what sucks so bad about this mp3 player? The reason I ask is because BestBuy has it on sale (the 512mb version) for $119, and you get a $20 Gift Card..

 

[MikePanic]

y not just join one of the free ipod sites and get one for nothing

i got both a 20gig (now sold) and a 40gig photo ipod for free this way

 

[sniperruff]

why not the creative muvo?

 

[gwarbot]

iaudioG3 wooopeeeeee

 

[thehstrybean]

I've pretty much decided on an iAudio...but if Best Buy has the Sandisk 512mb for $119 with a $20 Gift Card....which Creative Muvo? Is it good?

 

[DeviousTrap]

Not to threadcrap but you might want to see what MP3 players are on sale and if any of them are of interest to you. Link

Iaudio G3 sucks, so do all Iaudio players, although not as much as Ipods, out of those i would grab the Sandisk but Creatives players are better.

Whatever you get, DON'T get one with an HDD.

The one I had with a HDD was fine.........

 

[Anubis]

get one of the new creative muvos they are sweet

 

[thehstrybean]

I don't want a HDD for sure...the iAudio U2 was given the CNET Best Buy...can anyone who owned one tell me why a sandisk would suck?

 

[KingNothing]

Why would I throw my 2 cents out? It's 2 cents, after all.

As others have said get the Creative Muvo which is the best of the flash based MP3 Players.

Got it. Love it. Only complaint is that one of the tabs that holds the batter cover on broke off within the first week of use. But, since the belt clip thing covers it up it's not a big deal.

Requires no software, has excellent battery life, and is very easy to use when exercising.

That's what I love. I like being able to plug it into a Windows PC, instantly recognized, drag MP3 or WMA files or documents or games over. A few seconds later it's done.

 

[naruto1988]

if you want a flash-based mp3 player...i would say go w/ creative. i've always been satisfied w/ their products. i had their first generation muvo and now a zen touch. i love both =D

 

[aceO07]

bananapc.com has the Sandisk 1GB Audio Player for $142 w/ free shipping. That's the cheapest I've seen for any 1GB mp3 player WITH FM radio.

madcow, what's wrong w/ the Sandisk?

 

[thehstrybean]

OK, so newegg finally got the iAudio U2 512mb version in for ~$160...the 256mb version is ~$130...which one? I'm thinkin 512mb....

the only disadvantage i can think of is that its not expandable.
