Mac Compatible MP3 players

Gerard_Smith

Maybe I'm just getting the Christmas itch but frankly the only MP3 players I have ever owned have been iPods and its time for a change. I have been eyeing this for a few weeks now http://www.sony.ie/view/ShowProduct.action?product=NWZ-A818&site=odw_en_IE&pageType=Overview&imageType=Main&category=NWA+WMT but can't get any reliable information on whether its Mac compatible or not.

Can anyone recommend any good Mac compatible MP3 players? I know software support is unlikely but good old fashioned dragging and dropping will do.

I use my iPod mostly for podcasts and audiobooks. Music is secondary. Linked with iTunes, the iPod is a no-contest winner for me.

I think you just like a challenge!

the sony nwa300 wasnt sony compatible

so im going to guess that one isnt

if its anything like my old mp3 - you will get a challenge!

With the NWZ-A818 Sony has dropped all the proprietary Soundstage nonsense and let you use MP3 and AAC files. The question is would I be able to drag and drop such files to it from a mac.

Yes, I'll second that! I'd definitely go with a Sony if its compatible, they are extremely solid and the audio converters tend to be second to none.

Sound quality is supposed to be fantastic. Also the thing has 30 hours of battery life which is very nice indeed.

Since it's drag-and-drop I'll say there shouldn't be any complications.
