I've gone too long without one of these things. I wanna get a MP3 player that fits my whole collection, and I have no interest in an iPod or anything video-related so I wanna see what my options are.

So I wanna know:
A) what players you people recommend, and
B) good deals on 'em!

Some friends of mine recommend Creative Zen players... I've also seen a lot on Toshiba. Thoughts on those, as well as any other recommendations (and, of course, DEALS) are all welcome!

I know nothing about the stock firmware of that player, but if it sucks or you want some amazing features, give Rockbox a try.
 
oh yeah, I definitely plan on giving RockBox a try. Apparently the iAudio version should be "finalized" in November of this year, but it already has a working version (running "Free Doom" and some other uneccessary yet very cool stuff at this point).
 
[quote name='Z-Saber']The H300 and H100 series both only go up to 40gb, but if you're truly interested in those players, you could probably swap in a 60gb hdd if it's the same physical size.

I'd look it up over at misticriver. People there have done similar things, though I don't know much about it and can't confirm if it's been done with a 60 giger.[/quote]

its a good deal i vouch for creative, they are very good at what they do. I had the 40 GB version now i have Creative Zen Portable Media center.
 
[quote name='SaMiDaDrAgOn']Get an old Generation Non-video iPod. You can probably get a good pricce because they are older. I have a 40 gb monochromo display, and it's awesome. Goto Apple.com and look under the refurbished section, and if your a student you can get a good discount on top of the refurb price.[/QUOTE]

You're awesome, I totally had no idea they had a refurbished section. This shall be the route I take.

Heck, the H100 and H300 series' versions aren't even finalized yet, but they run great. Sure, some of the updates are hit and miss, but that's what you get for testing bleeding edge builds.

I've been using the same build for almost a month now with very little trouble at all. I'm sure the iAudio version is behind the iRiver development, but if it's at least to the point where it runs semi-stable with sound, it's totally worth it.
