Ok ... I want to know what are my options.

What are the range of Hard Disk Portable Audio Players available to me?

I want 4 or 5GB minimum, and price doesn't worry me.

And ... something that has a decent battery life!! :sleep:

Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Regards,

Rio Carbon for sure. if you dont care about color screen - it has great battery life. very nice player.

iriver h10, if you want the latest - i think its got color screen.

ipod - no. creative zen touch - i dont like, other creative players - too bulky,

Very good, I had one last Wednesday and the good thing is they are 1GB a disc and the discs only cost ?5.

I have the NH-1 asnd must say it has a good build quality and comes as standard with and LCD remote and charging cradle.

THey are also very small and have a long bettery life.

Get the creative zen touch. You get 20 gb for a little over the price of an ipod mini, which has 4-6 gb. The touch also has the best sound quality (97dB) and battery life (24 hours) of any of the mp3 players takled about here. That way if you ever begin to purchase more music you will always have room for it. Plus the Creative Zen Touch looks cooler!

never ever EVER buy the ipoo! Its the worst thing ive ever seen. It was lovely until i got it out and fiddled with it. It didnt work at all, my computer didnt recognise it, and gradually it got worse. Plus, iTunes isnt much cop either if youre a big media player user like myself. Im bying a zen micro next week...black or purple??

buy the h10 or the micro. but never ipoo.

You'll be quite dissappointed.

I really don't like the looks, especially that "Mosaic" style tile keys.

And they are not easy to use.

First of all, "look" is completely subjective, and it, in fact, looks all right to me.

NW-HD5 is incredibly thin and small, even thinner and smaller than iPod, and the difference in terms of thickness between Zen Touch and NW-HD5 would be tremendous.

Also, you should clarify how it's not easy to use.

It has play/pause button in the middle, with 4 arrows surrounding, and the rest of four buttons outside are volume up/down, stop, and menu button.

I find it interesting how one could actually find uneasiness with that layout. :unsure:

Here is something to clarify my point:

Yes the word "looks" is completely subjective, but NW-HD5 doesn't catch my eyes as well as other players.

What I meant about it not being easy to use is the compatibility and the interface of the player.

I'm not too fond of SonicStage, but still while I read some reports/reviews on their Sony players, they had quite a few troubles. And from the picture it seems that the NW-HD5 is still using not-as-friendly interface that was introduced since NW-HD1.
