I am looking to purchase a small flash player for using at the gym. I am quite interested in the Iriver iFP-895 512Mb player. I have an Iriver H120 and I love it, so I am confident in purchasing another Iriver player.
My concern is the space - 512Mb. I thought about 1Gb but for the $180 that would cost me, I could get the Zen Micro for an extra $20 and get 4 Gb extra. So the 512Mb seems to make sense for $120. I currently rip all my music into MP3's at 192kbps. At this rate I might be able to get 6 or 7 albums (about 70 songs) on the 512Mb player. Is there a better choice for compression (MP3, WAV, OGG) and kbps rates, which would allow me close to the same quality but allowing me to get more music on the player?
I have not tried any different compression types or sizes (other than MP3), so I'm looking for advice. Thanks in advance for your help.
