Hey guys. Im looking for a good mp3 player. Ive had a look at the Sansa Clip + and it seems nice, however i feel like there might be more out there. (And dont you dare say anything by Apple. Its a ripoff and i hate iTunes.)
 
Im looking for something, small with good battery life, preferably something that can be Rockboxxed and DEFENTILY with a MicroSD slot. Sandisk have some good players and i like some of sonys players too. Although i was considering a HiFiMan player, their wayy to expensive. Something under 100USD would be awesome. Thanks!

Sansa Clip Zip, i'm currently on this and its awsome. So far i got 13hrs continous playing, maybe i have to completely drain and full charge to max its batt. Navigation is a no brainer simple. SQ is better than my iphone4. MicroSDHC slot. However, i was thinking if it can be rockboxed? Anyone?

Any player cannot be considered bad. Just depends on your listening preference.
Each brand series has its own signature with little deviation depending on model.
 
Sansa clip/fuze- warm, very narrow but good depth SS, nice bass, good power
 
Philips gogear- very cold, brittle , overall not recommended
 
Sony A series, E43X, X series, S series- Very warm sound, thick bass & mids, very musical with classical/jazz/pop/new age/instrumentals, not so good with metal/aggressive music, very nice SS, least power.
 
Sony E44X- rough grainy sound, powerful, overall very bad sound
 
Cowon- very good eq, cold, thin, narrow stereo seperation, average depth, poor bass at default setting(although @ -5db 100hz, bass is quite good), very powerful, BBE degrades SQ.
 
Touch 3g- Xtremely clean/grainfree, superb treble, thin but very airy mids, lifeless bass although nice extension, widest SS, poor SS depth, very loud. Touch 4g has better bass though.
 
Classic 7g & nano 4g/5g- crap & total crap

I disagree. I consider the Toshiba Gigabeat U is a bad player. Bad interface, bad sound, bad everything. Just bad.
