Which one!!!
The SanDisk costs less and gives me twice the memory, however I have an iRiver and know how great the sound quality is, but I am not sure about the sound quality of the SanDisk...

Buy a ****in' iPod.

[Deepblue]

No, I don't need that much space.

[phatosealpha]

Do you ever use .OGGs?  It looks like the sandisk can't do them but the iRiver can.

[Deepblue]

I can convert any file I need to, so thats probably not an issue. I'm just not sure about the Sandisk whereas I am sure about the iRiver.

[icespeed]

find a friend who has a sandisk and test it out for a few days.

I've had IRiver for almost two years now and I must say that even though it's a flash-128, it still rocks.

indeed, just be sure to get the 40 gig

I have this, about the same sort of thing:

Does everthing these two do, same sort of price.


The only things i can really find wrong with it is that the interface is a bit confusing at first, and there isn't an option to make your own playlist.  Its got all sorts of playlist options, random, repeat, random folder etc, but changing between albums can isn't as smooth as it could be, especially when you are in the middle of doing something.  This is a bit of a pain, but my old mp3 player could only really hold 1 album, 512MB is a big jump up.

Other than that is does everything.  Sound quality is great, but get a reasonable pair of headphones.

I have vote iPod too - there's enough varieties to find something you'll like

[Scuddie]

You're not one of those people who think compressed music should be 128kbps, do you?  If not, 512MB wont hold ****.  Get a device with a harddrive.  10 gig is a start, but not very good when you want to store multiple discographies.

[Liberator]

Based on looks alone, cause I read this at 4 am instead of sleeping, I would get the iRiver.  It looks cooler and has more buttons and a nice backlit screen.  ...good night

[Bobboau]

neither, get an MP3 compatable CD player.

*is a very happy iRiver SlimX owner*

[Scuddie]

Those things are expensive, unreliable, and crap quality.  If you want to play MP3s, use an MP3 player.  Not a CD player.

[Zarax]

Get a Creative player, i've found them pretty good for the cost (plus i've got a custom MVP edition )

[Setekh]

*pats his CD player and CD collection* We've got no fair use policy in Australia, so we can't legally make a copy of the music we own even just for personal use. I'll stick with my originals.

[Grug]

lol. Yet Setekh so many people I know walk around with ipods.

[Flipside]

I saw a 128Mb MP3 player for £40 in Homebase the other day, was sorely tempted, since I don't really need that many tunes at one time, but I thought I'd hold out for a few months longer and wait till I can pick up at least 256Mb for that price

Expensive: Perhaps, but still reasonable.
Unreliable: BS.
Crap Quality: Riiiiiight....

Or were you referring to something else completely?
