Which MP3???

jamesbil

There are so many out there!!
handn realized till I started looking!

Looking for one for the car, 8g or more with an sd slot. Not so small that I lose it!

Zen mozaic or style? Bush one on Argos?

Need to keep under the €100

Where to buy online?

Thanks
James

sansa clip + 8gb (cheap now) or sansa zip 8gb (new version) - (both very small)
sansa fuze 8gb (bigger)
sony nwz series - good but no expansion slot

amazon unfortunately don't ship mp3 players to ireland

pixmania maybe - but some don't recommend.

Can any one tell me if the Zen style or mosaic has an sd slot?

What are thoughts on the Kubic players?

ffs, google on the zen.
kubic - cheap players, seem OK.

I have googled! specs dont say it has, but on some other players specs dont say they have when they do, so just wanted confirmation from someone that has one.

seems alright

bit old at this stage (2008) and that model is refurbished so you will get a shorter warrantly period most likely.

sansa players are the best value/performance combination usually. go for sansa clip / zip or fuze.

jamesbil

holeymoley the zip is small! kinda like the mobile phone in Zoolander!

The Fuze might be more the size for my hands!
Not too good user reviews tho.
Will sound quality be good enough for the car? ie as good as cd?

Is music on an sd card integrated into the library or in a seperate folder?
Battery life stated as 24hr, is it in practice?

Is this the best price? I have googled! Best I can find, unless anyone knows of offers, etc.

SOUND IS V GOOD ON CLIP. CLIP IS BETTER THAN FUZE. SHOULDN'T BE OPERATING MP3 PLAYERS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING TOO TBH...

INTEGRATED

15HR ON CLIP, NO IDEA ON FUZE

jamesbil

great thanks, Btw its for the passenger/beter half to operate while in the car!

I assume you can create playlists on these gizmos?

jamesbil

so went to buy the Fuze on play.com, got to the checkout only to be told they dont ship electronics to Ireland.
Amazon dont seem to either.

Assuming you're not living in the dark ages, why not just get an 8gig SD card for your phone?

SD card for your phone? Methinks you're the one living in the dark ages :pac:

Touché.

Seriously though, I don't see the need to buy a cheap MP3 player if your phone is capable of doing the same job. I've used my phone ever since my ipod broke.

Here is another one...

Is the US version compatible here? Will radio work etc?
