Replacement for Rio Karma

    Well, I own a Rio Karma at the moment, but it's on its way out. Battery life is poor, the wheel is broken, and the power switch, or rather the big power button, is also kaput (and I've had that hard disk issue twice, the one that leaves your hand red and sore from smacking the machine).

    That being said, this is the player I ditched my iPod click-wheel for: it is superior in every respect to Apple's offering.

    So can anyone recommend a decent alternative? I understand it's going to be impossible to find a player with all the features I now take for granted, but I have also heard of a replacement OS (Rockbox), which may make up for some of the features.

    I don't need a colour display, so I'll not be looking for photo or video capability.

    The trekstor Vibez is like a smaller Rio Karma, it does everything the karma does plus a little bit more.

    Thanks for the tip, Mactard. I'm looking for a minimum of 20GB, though.
