New MP3 Player

Ghunger · 05-09-2006, 04:22 PM

I "lost" my MP3 player at the airport on my way back from ED and so far no luck finding it, so I'm in the market for a new player. I know a lot of people will just say ipod but I'm open to any of the major brands. The new BMW Ipod interface makes it tempting but the battery life and "delicate" face worry me a bit and I'm not sure if the 60GB ipod would be worth it for the longer battery life. I'm pretty sure I want something with 10GB or more and video isn't required but I wouldn't mind it. Any suggestions?

I love my 30 G iPod. It easily holds all of my music, has video capability, and isn't all that delicate. I wouldn't integrate it, as who knows what I'll be using in 5 years, but so far this is cool. I got my daughter an Zen Nano, and it's smaller, but I prefer the larger interface, especially for menu choosing while driving. I haven't had a battery life problem, but I primarily use mine in the car (I have an adapter) and while working out.

30GB iPod Video here and I love it. I can get about 6 hours battery life on average.
