opinions on mp3 players

link?
I'm guessing that one is a bit more pricey

http://cgi.ebay.com/20GB-IRIVER-PMP-120-PMP120-MP3-PHOTO-VIDEO-PLAYER_W0QQitemZ5848497126QQcategoryZ48683QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

its not too bad a price acually. Don't be fooled that it says games. Iriver promised 8 bit games eventually but it never happened. The PMC-120 is alot more then the PMP-120 because the interface is uses windows media player. It's tricky to use at first because the button aren't all that clear, but after messing with mine for about 15 mins It wasn't too bad. One bad thing though....the battery life is horrible if you're turning it off and on alot.

Edit: it's also skinable (if you know what you're doing), and the firmware can be upgraded //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thats actually a pretty kickass price for an mp3 and video player.

But the battery life sucks either way.

I paid $259 shipped for mine. Also, you don't want to put like 500 songs in a folder. It takes a long time to read otherwise. I have a folder called downloads and it takes a couple mins to open that folder. Every other folder is by cd so those open instantly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. You have to upgrade your firmware to be able to have text, which is very simple too. Like playa said....the pmp 120 can also be used as a host. My digi cam is compatible so when i hook my cam up to my iriver the pics can be transfered without a pc //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

it does, but i only really use it in my car so it stay on constantly. Works just fine then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. If battery life is still a problem just pick up an extra battery for it or just get a car adapter.

I'd like to use mine on trips though and wont necessarily have a cigarette lighter to plug it in to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

But its another option. The only thing that i like on that more than the jetaudio one is the screen size. But the jetaudio KILLS it in battery life

Cowon iAudio X5L

Simply the best.

 

[playa1 10+ year member]

did you buy it yet?

 

[tommyk90 5,000+ posts]

Yeah, i think i'm gonna have to go with the cowon X5L because of the badass features such as video playback and the ridiculous battery life. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The iRiver is still in the back of my mind though, since i can get it locally.
