    Question Need New Small MP3 Player, Please Recommend People

    Hi all

    I'm looking to buy a new small MP3 Player,
    i have been using a Panasonic SV-SD85 which is great as its the smallest mp3 player i
    have ever seen / used with Great battery life, and was perfect using down the GYM.



    So why you ask am i looking for a new mp3 player???

    Because I've had it with the Crap software that you have to use with the player as its nasty to use, keeps crashing and encrypts the music onto the SD card, which i no longer want the hassle with.

    So I'm looking to buy a Mp3 Player that is
    • Similar in size
    • DOES NOT ENCRYPED the Mp3s eg. Panasonics SD encrypting, or iTunes
    • Has good battery life
    • And has (but not essential) a SD slot for extra memory




    Thanks for all your views and help

    Cheers

    shuffle? Saw some little ones that took sd cards in the boots sale for 7.50 the otherday, may be worth a look if you already have a big enough card available.

    Generic pen drive one from argos/currys/comet/etc? I got a £20 one, takes a single AAA battery and no hassle of software.

    also look at the creative V plus.

    really depends what you want, do you want a screen?, do you want to be able to play video?. will you change music often(if not, you'll want a large capacity(2-4gb min) player

    also look for a player that has MTP capability - means pc can see it as a hard drive and you can drag and drop music onto it.

    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
