I think I finally lost my Zen Stone Plus for good. That's okay, because the thing was too small and a real pain in the ass to navigate. Any recommendations for a decent mp3 player under a hundred bucks? Right now, the best idea I've got's to just find an old iPod on craigslist to use with some program that's not iTunes.
Nintendo DS + Flashcart + Licks Media Player/Moonshell.It's what I used back in the days. Pretty basic, but it works.
If I were you, I'd get a Nationit OS-72HR even if I had to save up a bit for it.http://ow.ly/1qWhRBesides having lots more features than an iPod, it has expandable memory. If you find yourself wanting more room, you just have to buy a microSD(HC) card where with an iPod you'd need a whole new player. Support's damn good too and you can contact the middleman (Raz) directly, yourself. He also keeps profit margins way lower than typical companies so it's more bang for your buck with the Nationite series players, in general.
>>457Liking it all, except how good is the battery life?That tidbit seems to have been left out of the description >>
>>457That S:Flo2 they have looks awfully tempting...
If you're considering buying any players from MP4 Nation, I really recommend you read up on whatever you're interested in on their forums.http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/index.phpmain OS-72HR thread: http://ow.ly/1rVVkmain S:Flo2 thread: http://ow.ly/1rVVH(more on S:Flo2 by googling "Teclast T51")>>465Ask/search on the forums. Pretty active community.>>467I think it would be a good investment but I'm a bit biased since I bought one myself (hurp) though honestly, if you aren't or don't plan to use high fidelity headphones or line it out to speakers, you don't really need it as most of the price is for amplifying hardware, something practically no earphone needs and you probably aren't going to use it very often with full sized headphones. And because of those amps, the battery life isn't great. This also means you can't use it for apps and games very much as it'll drain power you'll want to keep for music playing. But if you do plan to make use of those amps they will play while charging on the AC adapter included and there is no player comparable on the market for sound quality, making it a good home solution.If you do want the S:Flo2, be prepared to wait because it sounds like more than you planned to spend so you might want to save up a bit and they're getting swamped with orders. I believe the sales right now are all preorders.
>>455The gaming handhelds are too bulky for me to just walk around and listen to some music with. Plus, ya got ROMs/isos and media competing for space on the memory card, and it just gets messy.>>468Ooh, thanks for the heads-up on battery life. I'd have probably given in to tech lust and sprung on it if I had the bank.>>457It's damn impressive for sure, but the interface looks like it was designed primarily for video. I'll thumb through the forums a bit.
