Which MP3 Player?
I’m thinking of getting a MP3 Player to replace my Minidisc Player but cant find one that:
- Has enough capacity to take a reasonable amount of stuff – 1 or 2 gb is fine
- Stores any kind of files – drag n drop – USB connection
- Has a long battery life – 30 hours – or runs from replaceable batteries.
- Is rechargable independently – not carrying a computer to recharge a USB mp3 player!
- Has a radio tuner – when travelling I like listening to local radio
- Can record would be nice, not essential
I don’t care if it isn’t an iPod. The whole “iPod” thing is a bit lost on me, I don’t want to carry a trillion CD’s on a fragile hard-drive that I know I’ll drop.
So far the best bet is the Sony NWA608S MP3 Walkman (2GB with FM tuner) + some sort of recharger as it’s USB only. Have also thought of a combo mobile phone/player but my contract has a year to go and my provider doesn’t offer the Sony ones that look like the best bet here.
Any recommendations?
