My mom is buying me an MP3 player for Christmas, but I'm not sure what the best model to tell her to get is. I'm thinking an IPOD, but I wanted to post this here to see if anyone else out there has any suggestions. I'm looking for one between $250-$300 (IPOD price) with a 20GB memory. Dell makes a 20GB MP3 player that I was thinking about as well. I know a lot of people have IPODs and are happy with them.
Any suggestions or experiences with any brands would be very helpful.

iRiver H120 or H140 will do for you. It's got most all of the features of the zen touch, with a snazzy LCD remote control, and some real nice recording features. I use a line in and a 1/4" cable converter and record my guitar right from my amp, and it sounds very good. Not pro-grade recording by any means, but a very cheap way to plug in and record jam sessions or demos or whatever. I also like its GUI, real sleek looking. I don't know why this player didn't get more popularity than it did. I'd say its the perfect mp3 player with the exception that you can't make playlists on-the-fly(away from your computer), and there's no gapless playback, which is kind of annoying for music nazi's(don't worry im not a real nazi) like me who hate gaps in their live shows between songs. |

That 24hr battery life is looking really good. Does it take long to charge fully? |

I have a small MP3 player from Rio that's good for running/sports. It only has 256Mb or so built in, but it takes SD cards of any size.
I have been meaning to get an iPod, but my Mac doesn't have a firewire port, which is apparently required.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. |
