HI there,
I'm curious which of these two work best? I have heard of Rockbox.org that is suppose to read certain menus in certain players? I have only seen two mp3 players for a brief time, the Sandisk 1GB and Ipod shuffel 1GB. One thing that is verry important to me is that the MP3 player I get has an FM tuner and line out jacks. The second most important thing to me is that the MP3's can be coppied via my Computer interphace. IE, the MP3 player shows up as another hard disk and I can copy and delete from there, etc. I'm looking for a player with lots of space too. 20 GB or more is preferable. What works, what doesn't, and what is the price range? I've heard that neither of these are being manufactured anymore. Is this true? I'm sure I could find either of these on eBay but how much should I be looking to spend? IE, what is too much and what isn't? Is there a newer MP3 player that exist from a different company that is just as good in the event that neither of these are being made anymore?
Thanks,
John
