Looking to get one for my car inplace of cd changer.
My car has an MP3 input socket so the player will need a seperate Lineout.
I'm a player newbie so I have no personal experience on which to compare different makes.
Looking at reviews it seems to me either an iPod 20 Gig or maybe the iRiver 320.
Ta
iPod IMHO - I have one and absolutely love it
Also have an Ipod, i recomend it but i would change the headphones not very good sound quality and they dont go very loud without distortion.
Which one if your a bit stingy and will settle for around 5 Gig?
Looking for one that can be re-charged...and is about £100.
I have just bought a new'ish car ( pick it up next saturday :) )
and i have gone for an mp3 player (http://www.phatnoise.com/products/digitalmediaplayers/index.php). I'll review it next week. but looked good in the brochure 8) .
but the wife has an i-pod and loves it. not sure how you would control it from your head unit.

My friend has a 5gig packard bell i think, £100ish, VERY small.
Ill speak to him on tuesday so ill post details then.
5GB you say?
Funny you should mention that, because I REALLY want one of these! (http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hardware/mp3mp4wavwmaatracplayers/productView.htm?quicklinx=3HLW)
The 5GB Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, looks really nice too :D
One of my other "friends" has that one barley but shes a girl.
It will be forever seen, in my eyes, as the girly choice. Sorry.
*EDIT: 3 edits in one day i must be in "keyboard mashing" mode. :blush:
I've got the 15Gb iPod and it's excellent. The one feature where others beat it is battery life and it's charger isn't terribly small. I know someone with the Creative micro Zen 5Gb thingy and he has no end of troubles with the buttons not quite working like they're supposed to. Otherwise it seems fine but I think the 1Gb apple flash player sounds like a good idea to me!
:rockon:
Cheers Gents ....gives me something to look at.

I bought a Creative Jukebox 3 20gb from eBay.
Now I need to get some batteries which may be difficult. :(

Yes. It is. Pretty like a girl. :P
AND its a right pain to use.
You could buy a copy of "Stuff" magazine for full reviews on things like MP3 players.
It's great for all gidgets and gadgets ......

But i would then have to remove the price of the magazine from what i buy ........ ;)
I was after the 20 Gig ipod but got the 30GB Photo in the end - the only model left (except the U2) in the shop and being an impatient Bstd I couldn't wait 'til restocked.
Sounds great in car. Itunes is really simple, quick and versatile to use.
Have put most of my CD collection on now (2 CD'S) so all in all 8/10.
