http://us.creative.com/shop/?AID=102...7&SID=sduidp0t From way back, creative's got the muvo2 4gb mp3 player for $50 + shipping. I just picked one up. It's a new one too, not refurbished!

@BlazingArrow74 Awesome avatar - I love Night Streets on that album!

I don't own any ipods, but I think they still fill a good niche in the market. (I realize "niche" is a little contradictory considering how much of the market they own, but that's not my point) I like messing around with mp3 players. It's fun for me to stick rockbox on something, tweak the...

I'll put a plug in for the creative zen v plus. I don't think the output is really powerful, so hopefully your headphones aren't too hard to drive. I use a set of ety's with them and it sounds *nice*. Plus it's tiny too! Of the players you mentioned, I've heard lots of good stuff about the Z5...

Oh that's good to hear, you can find those on ebay all the time.

I was thinking of pulling the trigger too, but I really couldn't find anywhere that carried the batteries and AC adapter. Have you had any luck?

He will be sadly missed. RIP

Nothing with a headphone jack! ::sigh after thinking about my old Rio S10::

First pics of Kati and kids after the rescue: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object...L&type=default

I heard through another forum that there was a car accident, and he left on foot to look for help. Kati flagged down the helicopter so she must have been physically okay. I haven't read of any other info such as James' whereabouts or the condition of his daughters.

Kati and the kids have been found! James is still missing though Keep hoping! http://www.jamesandkati.com/

Great review (thus far)! It makes me want to get a Zune! I'm kind of a masochist in that I'm willing to put up with software (I have no clue why). I used sonic stage in the very old days. Nice pics too! What camera did you use to take those?

Hey all potential Zune loving headfiers, Now I'm a student, so clearly I don't work for MS or Amex, but if you have an Amex card, you have a chance to score a Zune REALLY CHEAP ($125) TOMORROW though this website: http://mywishlist.mylifemycard.com/ When? Nov 30th Time? 12PM, 3PM, 7PM ET...

I've heard both actually. I've heard that it doesn't have power optimization, hence it has shorter battery life. And on the flip side, I've heard that since Rockbox doesn't use some of the hardware - like usb host - at all, it uses less power. Any rockbox experts out there? I'll say in...

I'm having the same problem (AND it's about 1 month out of warranty), grrrr... Things to maximize battery: Don't use EQ or any effects (machbass, 3d, etc). I like some of the effects, but I noticed my battery life went up at least an hour when I turned them off. Set the LCD to turn off...

Wait, you have a nano case without a nano?

I believe the iriver t10 and t30 are subscription compatible. I don't know of any other flash players that are. Check out misticriver.net for some people that have tried it. I think there have been varying degrees of success with yahoo unlimited.

I've had mine (512mb) for about 6 months. It's been pretty good. I had one problem where pausing it would cause it to turn off, but refreshing the firmware fixed that. I like it overall. I go jogging with it a lot, so it can definitely take some usage.

You know, to be honest, I would probably be willing to pay 500 for a 30gb flash player...

http://www.spacecentersystems.com/ca...ucts_id/273445 I dunno if it's a price mistake, but they have the creative muvo tx fm 256mb for $8.00 plus about $9.50 shipping. $20 for a 256mb flash player is pretty good.
