MP3 flash player recommendations
Hi, Listers, I haven't been on the list for a while so don't know if this subject has been recently covered. I am looking for a portable flash MP3 player that is relatively accessible. I would like it to have a simple way to copy files such as the MuVo or at least accessible software. Also having an accessible FM tuner with capability to record from radio and voice recording features would be nice. I would like to hear any and all recommendations for good models or ones to stay away from. I have come across these models which seem particularly feature-rich at under $100: Creative TravelSound TS350W with built in speakers. The SanDisk SDMX1512A18 with 512 MB FLASH and FM tuner and recorder. IRIVER IFP-790T with 256 MB flash and FM tuner and voice recorder J WIN JXMP129FM with 128 MB flash and FM tuner and voice recorder. Thanks for sharing your experience expertise.

The Archos players/recorders, you can download Rockbox and they'll speak the menus and other info. The Iriver H140 will be accessible and rockbox will be able to play on it soon. Go to www.rockbox.org for more info. - Original Message - From: Jeff Samco [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 4:14 PM Subject: MP3 flash player recommendations Hi, Listers, I haven't been on the list for a while so don't know if this subject has been recently covered.

Re: MP3 flash player recommendations
Thanks, yes, I am aware of RockBox but isn't that solely for hard drive based players? I'm specifically intersted in lower-priced flash players. Any further recommendations from anyone?

Re: MP3 flash player recommendations
Let me try to clarify. If I understand MP3 players, there are two basic types of storage: one uses flash memory with no moving parts; the other uses a hard drive which spins just like a computer hard drive and holds greater amounts of storage. I thought the Archos players were of the second type. They may well have flash memory for holding the operating system but audio file storage is on the spinning drive. I am interested in the first type with storage in flash memory. Does this type of player still utilize the Rock Box software? And, I would still like any and all recommendations on what flash based players are more accessible. Thanks. Jeff At 04:46 PM 4/19/05, you wrote: You can flash Rockbox. I'm not sure what your asking.

Re: MP3 flash player recommendations
I don't know if they still make it or not, but I have a compact flash MuVo from Creative Labs. I got it a year or two ago. It has 256M of flash space. It has no display, so it's obviously quite accessible. It also doesn't come with or need any PC software to transfer the files to the MuVo. You just use Windows Explorer to copy files to the drive. I haven't been keeping up with things lately, but it sounds a lot like the iPod to me, except you don't need to use any special software on the PC. I must be missing something, but everything I've heard of the iPod doesn't set it apart from the MuVo that I've got. Maybe the MuVo I've got isn't made any more or maybe the iPod is just a lot cheaper for more memory.
