Ok, so I'm lookin' for a new mp3 player but there are so many out there.. dunno which I should get.. 1st off... no iPods... don't wanna deal with itunes.. 2nd I need something with radio.. preferably small so I can use as a thumb drive or something.. kinda have my eye on that Sony Network Walkman as of right now and I don't really want to spend anything over $100... EDIT: iriver S10 iAudio T2 Cowon D2 iriver Clix iriver Clix 2 Sony NW-S706F
oh at least a gig... course I don't mind if it's cheaper for more gigs... I was thinking about one of those mp3/mp4 players.. but then don't want anything bulky... yea my boy be stayin up in the kitchen thinkin' he got XM signals..
like I said... gotta have radio.. usb chargeable.. small compact.. light weight.. and whatever additional stuff under 100.. with long battery life would be good..
go get a creative I think its the only few players that doesnt need an annoying program load songs into it.

yeah the Creative Muvo TX is good... i have one with 1 gig memory, it's really easy to use and works flawlessly. So if you need something simple without all the advanced features then i would recommend the Muvo. Also doubles up as a USB flash drive thingy which can come in handy.

yea I thought the TX was pretty good.. but gotta throw batteries in that?? the sansa don't look too good.. =/
yeah but its just 1 AAA battery. And if you use a good one it can last for a long time. Anyways i haven't seen any solid state mp3 players that don't actually take batteries, its usually the bigger ones that let you charge them etc. But then i haven't been in the market for one for a while now so my info is a bit out dated hehe
