Well I looked at the NexBlack players (which apparently sound quite awful), the Cowon D2 which offers lovely touch controls but no alternative buttons to use when it's in your pocket (bravo on that one Cowon!), the Samsung YP-K3 which seemed like it was going to be the one until I read that it'd bundled with no USB Mass Storage Class drivers, so it can't be used as a drag-and-drop device
All the Sandisk players I hear sound very poor, and the new iRiver S2 has this ingenious 'touch-ONLY' control system that gives you a world of placement options such as: around your neck, and NOWHERE ELSE. So you end up looking like one of those clown's who flagrantly displays their bus pass in some custom laminated necklace all day. You'll be sure to get her phone number wearing this.
Anyways, sorry for sounding a tad annoyed
Just seems that every time I find something that looks good, there's just one thing about it that ruins the whole deal.
I'm really not asking for much, just these few things:
- Use some type of flash memory, or not. As long as I can just plug it into my computer via USB and drag-and-drop mp3 files right onto the player without having to use any software to transfer.
- BUTTONS for pressing! (play,stop,next,back). So I can use it in my pocket and not have to take it out and navigate 10 menus while staring into the screen like it's a PSP every time I need to change a song.
- Sound quality. I am coming from an iRiver player , so I need something that's at least as good or very close.
I think the problem might be that I am asking for to little..
