My Dad's mp3 player (Sony nwz-e356f), just broke.
The Volume Up button is now behaving as a Back button, making it pretty much unusable. Putting the settings back to factory default, formatting, and a firmware update did nothing.
So. He's going to need to buy a new one, and i was hoping you guys could help me.
He's almost always outside and moving around a lot so:
It needs to be able to withstand a good fall on to asphalt.
Something splashproof or even waterproof would be a huge plus.
Battery life of 30+ hours would be good, so he doesn't have to charge often.
4Gb of memory is enough.
As for audio quality, he listens to audiobooks, mostly, so it's not a huge priority, but obviously we want it to be decent.
He's hoping to spend less than a hundred dollars. This'll probably be the hardest requirement, so we'll say up to $150 if you have to go that high.
So yeah, i've been checking out the latest sony models and the Zunes and all that, but i haven't been watching the market much and was hoping you guys could help.
Thanks in advance.
