I need a hand picking a cheap mp3 player.

[lifebot]

ok, i bought a muvo tx fm 256mb.
i didnt like how it freezes when you continously hit the fastforward.
also the sound quality wasnt surprising
so i returned it. it was $169 canadian.
i was about the buy the shuffle.
but then i had to wait for 2 weeks, so i bought a gamecube and resident evil4
then after that my friend bought an ipod mini.
i burrowed it for a day, and the sound quality was better then my muvo tx fm.
although the bass was very messed up.
now i miss listening to songs from home to school and school to home.
im saving up each day for my new mp3 player.
now, i need a hand picking one
i care about design and SMALLNESS and sound quality
im not looking for voice recorder and fm
i liked my iriver's xtreme 3d.
but the custom eq doesnt really matter to me.
the sound effects are only good if the original sq is good.
now, my budget should be around 150 canadian
which mp3 is for me?
is there anyway to get an iAudio G3 in canada?
i live in toronto.
iAudio in my opinion have the best sound quality, with the best sound effects.
it has custom eq, with additional bbe, 3d surroud, mach3bass.
i love the bbe effect.

my god lifebot this is like the fourth thread you've started on the subject. you are having some serious confusion on your players i guess

. i've heard great things on the iaudio m3. but you should seriously consider returinging the gamecube, the new generation is coming out at the end of this year so its not what i would call the smartest buy. try and sell resedent evil on ebay or something. if you cant do that sell it to one of your friends for 20 bucks so you arent at a complete loss. then with all your money buy a microHD player like the zen micro or carbon. dont bother with the mini, like you said the eq is messed up and the zen micro and carbon are just better players IMO(and in alot of other peoples opinions).

Probably more than he's willing. Best someone could do is pricematch it at bestbuy or futureshop, so maybe 320 or so after tax. I paid 356$ after tax for my micro, and that was the second lowest price I could find, the lowest a store in toronto I couldn't order offline from.
