So I ended up returning my J3 as Cowon didn't want to take it back and the battery life was horrendous. Now I need a new mp3 player and want to go cheap.
My requirements: 12 hour battery life minimum
Drag and drop
FLAC playability
Minimum 16 gb
Don't want or need:
Color screen
Touch screen
Video playback
Right now I'm trying to decide between the Clip+ and a 16 gb microSD card, which would be a total of $70, and a refurb iPod Classic 4G (black and white) 20 gb. Both would be running rockbox.
Which one will give me better battery life and sound quality? My old clip+ that I sold didn't get great battery life, but I didn't rockbox it either. However, my understanding is that the microSD card slot really drains the battery. Is this true?
I'm leaning towards the clip+ for its size and the fact that it's new, but the iPod for the battery life.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
