I understand that this is a laptops and smart phones forum but I'm figuring a handheld device question would probably fit in this forum.
So as the title implies, I am looking for an mp3 player. I have been passively browsing for a mp3 player and got a bit intimidated so I decided to open my ears to some people on this forum who will know more than me about the topic.
-I don't care about name brands
-I don't care what is popular
-I don't care about on board memory
-I don't care about video or picture capabilities
Now, with that being said, what I do care about are the following criteria:
-price- no more than $45 including shipping (whether anyone can provide me links to an ebay used mp3 player or if I buy from NE or something it doesn't matter to me... I guess I can budge a TINY bit on price but not too much.
-I plan to download mp3's from limewire or something and upload them to my player...I'm not sure if you can do that with the ipod or other players, nut I want to make sure that is possible.
-I want a player with a memory card slot... Either that or a boat load of on-board space... I plan to store a bunch of songs.
-It would be cool if I get other options like voice recorder, external speaker, radio, etc.
-I want to get my product in the next week or two.
-It cant have a dumb operating system... I had a pda once that didn't let you make playlists...like it grouped the songs together alphabetically and played them all that way. And I heard about this one mp3 player that didn't display the track name or time... that's kinda dumb. I heard itunes is totally retarded.
-Overall its gotta be easy to use.
Any links, ideas, reviews, tips, or valid informative input of any kind is greatly appreciated. Below are some players that I found today. Thx.
