I have some long haul flights in a few weeks with stopovers in the middle, as if the flights are not long enough in the first place...
Done a search but think it will be useful to collate specific opinions
Two main criteria:
Will only be playing back MP3 files paired with Westone UM2. If it matters I own a Mac but do have Vista installed via Bootcamp if required by a player (I understand Cowon might not like OSX due to the data files dumped)
This does not need to be the *perfect* player, just one that is not "stupid" and satisfies the criteria
No bigger than iPod Nano 4th/5th Gen in size ideally (though not strict). Hell, it can be a pen drive with a one line display for all I care. I have no need for anything other than audio playback, especially video but if it has superfluous features I will deal with it
Any suggestions before I plump for a iPod Nano 5th Gen? Ironically I owned and sold a 4G Nano. I read the radio kills the 5G Nano battery but not a concern as I will not use the radio feature on the flights
I already own a rockboxed Sansa Clip+, so please do not recommend that. I am happy to explain why in the Rockbox Clip+ appreciation thread if prompted, but sufficient to say it nowhere near satisfies requirement (2). I also own a iPod Shuffle 2G but not taking that either
Thank you
