So, time to get out my bank card and get a new one
Trouble is, i'm not to sure what would be best to go for. The three main brands i'm considering are Creative, Sony and Apple. I had a Sony before - great player besides the godawful interface (sound was very good) - so i'm happy to go with them again. The best offering i could find from them was their 16GB flash one for around £100. I'm thinking about waiting for the NWX-1000 http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/06/s...led-in-french/ which is supposed to be being released at some point this year - and looks amazing quite frankly.
Then we go to creative, who've got the 32GB flash Zen (not the X-Fi) for £150 or the X-Fi for around £180. Creative, i'm told, have good sound quality too (and so they should), but reviews are mixed and people complain about the build quality - as well as the X-Fi being ugly and the buttons look weird.
Finally we come to Apple, i was tempted a while back by the 160GB classic which they've since taken off the market - but then i thought, meh, unless i'm going to be uploading all my music in FLAC there's not much point. So, the iPod touch is probably what i'd get if going the apple route. It's expensive, but then it looks sexy as hell, has the whole touchscreen stuff and doubles as a smartphone without the phone-ness. Apple audio quality, is, apparently not good though. I was thinking maybe get a classic though.. Yes the 32GB touch is tempting, but it's just way too overpriced (and this is coming from the guy who just bought a macbook).
So, budget not too important - lets say keep it under £200. Needs to have a fair amount of space (i have a lot of music and i don't like just putting up one song - it needs to be the whole album!) i try to upload albums at 320kbs too - 16GB minimum, more is preferrable. Size is fairly important, i mean it needs to be pretty slick (but most of them are these days). Screen isn't too important, as i'm not too fussed about watching videos (they take up too much space if i was going for a 16GB).
Ideas - i'm thinking wait for the sony to be announced/released?
