hahaha, I'll have to do a head to head test of the 2 mule65.

Honestly I haven't listened to my U3 in quite a while since I got the clip. So it could be a case of forgetting how awesome it sounds...

If you mean the capacity to make on-the-go playlists, then yes. You can add any files you want to it, then browse your built playlist as you would a directory.

No, Bookmarking means that you can stop a song/audio book file and save the spot. Then you can listen to other stuff and start the original file back up from the saved spot at a later time.

I bought the Sony NWZ-A728 everyone.

The lack of a bookmarking feature is one of my 2 gripes. Another gripe is having to convert video files to be viewed on the player.

Bookmarking isn't too much of a big deal though. I just have to remember where I left off in my podcast, press pause, and fastforward to where I left off. Even if I wanted to resume 40 minutes into a podcast, it would only take 20 seconds to fastforward to that point, which isn't bad.

I think I have the video conversion issues sorted out now, so things are looking good. It's not like I'm going to constantly be watching movies on the thing, so converting a movie or 2 is not a big deal for me.

Yes, it does.

Nice player you got there. Grats!

One thing I wanted to say about touch screens, since people seem to dislike them a lot. It has its advantages too. When you need to get to a certain spot in a podcast, song, audio book, you can just hit that spot on the progress bar and boom you're there. Aside from that, some players with touch screens also have the main functions mapped on tactile buttons (like a D2) so you can blindly FF, REW and pause anyways.

we're talking here about mp3 players not proffesional news reporter recording equipment...

don't think that alot of people whould pay 500 dollars for a 4 gb mp3 player by the way

SQ wise, B&O BeoSound 6 or BeoSound 2 is the best.

 

[tds101]

B&O BeoSound 6 (BS!!!) is a Re-branded Samsung YP-Z5: Amazon.com: Samsung YP-Z5AS 4 GB Digital Audio Player (Silver): Electronics

 

[Rico67]

Don't forget the B&0.

 

[majkel]

Samsung Yp-Z5 was quite a good sounding player but what justifies paying for the B&O enclosure?

 

[tds101]

Looks p-u-r-t-y!!!! But yeah, the YP-Z5 was supposed to have great SQ - but why pay for a rebrand when you can get the original STILL NEW on Amazon? I'd go for the Z5 as the BS 6 still says Samsung on the back anyway.

 

[nommummy]

beosound 6 the best ever regardless of the beosound 2 which is hard to use

Really?
After it has been established that it's a ridiculously overprice Samsung rebrand (and not only on this thread) you still recommend this player? Did you even read the thread? At all?
Besides, anyone who says that the Beo 6 is the best, etc, is just trying to justify their bad purchase decision to themselves. Like it happens so often with anything we buy that's more expensive than it should be (heck, I've been guilty of it myself in the past).

Sorry about the rant... I'm tired and cranky, heh.
