hi everyone, i'm looking to buy a portable mp3 player, but im a bit overwhelmed in my pre-buying research...any help would be greatly appreciated.
features im looking for: -built in FLASH memory (not hard drive stuff) -at least 512mb space, though 1gb would be even better -use of a removable aa (my aas are rechargable, though i guess that's irrelevant) battery (as opposed to that built in stuff in hard drive mp3 players that will eventually kaput out, and not aaa size) -less than 170$ would be great too. -a screen (none of that ipod shuffle dunno-what-youre-listening-to crap) -overall durability for long-term useage.
factors i don't care about: -the headphones -brand -size (within reason) -armband whatever other accessories stuff though an intuitive menu would be preferable, as would an undorky look & not too confusing software mess.
am i too demanding? :P
thanks so much for any suggestions you might have. i really appreciate it! ~serena
oh yeah, i forgot to add, i realize there are search things online and i have done quite a few, but some of the features are not exactly searchable...
specifically, does anyone have experience with iRiver iFP-799 or iRiver iFP-795T or suggest any better alternatives? *end compulsive posting* thanks again, ~serena
