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 :)

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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
