I know nothing about them, but they seem like a good replacement for my tired old walkman !

HELP...

what would scooby do

If you are after a hard disk based system you need to look at IPOD v Creative labs - both have their strengths and weeknesses - Creative labs are much cheaper and better value for money but don't look as nice and a larger than the IPOD..

a couple o people have mentioned the i pod, it seems expensive, I was looking at spending £80 tops, much less if poss.

Geddon

I got an i-bead 150 for chrimbo. Well happy with it. About £160 but cheaper than ipod.
Basically its a 256mb USB pen drive that plays music and has a radio. Charges by USB as well in 3hrs and lasts 14.

Hi geddon, ur replyin to all my posts arnt ya, hows it goin m8 ?

My son just saved his hard-given Christmas cash and got a Zen NX last night, 30GB. Size of a cassette walkman. Pretty impressive for IRO 200 quid (doubtless 150 in UK?).

Size is an issue too, I want a smallish mp3 player.

With 30gb, that would be a sizable collection of music

OllyK

Well depending on the bit rate you rip your MP3 at, a CD's worth will equate to approx 15-30 Mb. So 30,000 Mb / 20 Mb = 1500 CD's worth

And I know there isn't 1000 Mb in a Gb, but as track sizes vary quite a bit it is all approximate anyway

Geddon

It would appear that way
Just insanely bored at work

lol

I got a usb pen affair with 250Mb of space which is plenty for most uses, about 10 cd's worth. Also usful for data transfer and it also has a mic built in, can record about 40 hrs of stuff in .voc format then convert to MP3 on your desktop. It came from www.iwoot.com

durleydude

how much was it ?

what would scooby do

Brendan - you'l be glad to hear that the 30gb NX is £200 in uk (that's what I have)

OllyK

Currently £89.99 for the 128 MB and £119 for the 256 Mb:
