Hi all
So im on the hunt for a new mp3 player, have been looking for a good couple of weeks now. Read plenty of reviews, comparisons etc. I still cannot decide on which one to purchase, hence I have decided to start this thread. *No ipods please.
The ones im looking at mainly are:
Zune HD 32gb
Cowon j3 16gb (+ 16gb micro sd)
Sony nwz-a847
- Want 32gb at least
Looking for something with decent battery life and of course SQ. The three above are (afaik) rated at at least (claimed) 30hrs battery. I know one or the other might have longer claimed life....
I dont want anything larger than a 3.5 screen. And im not too fussed if its touch screen or not, although that would make browsing songs easier. Then again, a lot of my music is made up of dj sets, so browsing I dont think will be too much of an issue? Gapless would be nice but a deal breaker...
I will be travelling mid year (August), but am looking at getting one now as I would most likely make use of it still. Unless there are any better players coming out that people know of, or events where new models may be announced.
O also, would much prefer a device I can drag n drop files with, would be much easier as ill be on the go frequently. I know the Sony and the Cowon do it, the Zune does not how ever I think i read somewhere there is a method that allows it? And it does support Windows media player sync, which is fairly easy to use. Just dont want itunes or the like....
Budget no more than US$250... I know finding the Sony at that price would be a struggle, i think... Obviously the cheaper the better... 
Recommendations for other players are more than welcome :)
Thanks in advance
edit: forgot to mention... no funky volume limiters please. Or the option to disable it if the player has one...
