Best mp3 player WITH radio

jones

i really like the new 5th generation IPODS and am so tempted to get one but its missing one thing - a radio. so i was wondering whats the best mp3 player with a radio???

IceHawk

Creative Zen Sleek 20GB has a radio, and good interface, plus it plays wma.

jones

jsut looking at that one there it looks good alright! i love the new ipod but why they insist on leaving out a radio is beyond me

Best MP3 player with an FM radio?

I'm biased, but I have to say the iAudio X5L... it's the absolute business!

jones

the L version is the one with the better battery preformance isnt it?? its a nice player alright could be a winner unless i forget the radio and get the 5th gen ipod

Another biased opinion from me too...X5L has to be a contender

mewso

Hmmm I've been looking at the X5 but I don't see any indication of the L on any site I'm pondering ordering from. Any way to tell and do ye recommend a good place to buy it?

jones

well on the peats site at the check out stage you can pick the L version. i think i'm going to get this myself the radio has swung it for me

mewso

Hmmm so the X5L is the 30GB version only. I was going for the 20GB version. More in my range and cheaper than peats here http://www.iaccessorise.com/index.php/page,shop.flypage/productname,iAudio+X5+20GB?

jones

yeah it seems cheaper there alright!! i thought the L version only came in 30GIG could be wrong though! the only reason i'm getting it in peats is because i got blanchardstown centre vouchors for crimbo and peats have a store there now so i'm going to get it through them

I have the iRiver H320 and still love it. But it's a little bit clunky (but durable) and the iAudio you're looking at seems to have the exact same features only in a smaller shell - so I'd swing towards that too.

Peats are a rip-off. On Parnell street a few weeks ago I saw my H320 for about €400. When I got it online from komplett over 8 months ago for €330 delivered next day to my door. If it was me, I'd rather spend the €70 saved in one of the many clothes shops in the blanch centre.

Can't go wrong with www.mx2.co.uk for the X5L. And free delivery!

Bard

iAudio's are also available over the counter in Peats and Harvey Norman, to name but two. The X5L sells for €20 more than the equivalent X5.

Current RRP's:

X5 20GB : €329
X5L 20GB: €349
X5 30GB : €369
X5L 30GB: €389

There's a 60GB model also, but I don't have pricing on that to hand.

Just to say I saw this in my local xtra-vision (Carlow) for €249. I have it myself and am very happy with it.
