Portable Audio System Utilizing the MP3 Format

My mp3 player broke; r.i.p lyra, and now i'm in need of another. I need something that's 4gigs+. Anything above 10 is overkill. Needs to be small and easily controlled, seeing as how it will be resting and controlled in my pocket for the duration of its life. Any suggestions?

So far i've been liking these

Zen Micro

iRiver makes great products and amazing customer service from my experience. When my ihp-120 is obsolete I'll be buying from them again.

ive been looking too ... i dont know what the fuk to do ... im probably going to go with the Zen Micro...

that rio carbon looks pretty good too tho.

My friend has a rio carbon and its not that bad for the price. i want something a bit different though. iriver looks pretty damn good but the button scheme looks weird to me. theres three buttons on the side of it, are those next, back and pause?

Yes. some people said you cant, but i know i can, i do it. just make sure to install the software that comes with the player. than right click the start button open up explorer than hook up the zen and drag the files into it.

installing drivers sucks. i want one i can simply plug in anywhere i go, since ill only be using around 4 gigs of space. that extra 1 would be a nice replacement for a usb drive

Milla, the ipod mini is 199.99$, its less than the Zen Micro.

Woulda assumed an mp3 player would show up in mycomputer as a removable storage device and let you drag and drop anyway, its basically a portable harddrive with a built in media player so it should do. eek:
