Page 1 of IPod,IRiver,Zen.What jukebox do I get?

This may have been posted before but I`m after a portable jukebox and I don`t know which one to get.I want it to be able to store around 3,000-5,000 tracks,have an FM tuner,be relatively easy to use and around the £250 mark.Not too bothered about looks but it can`t be TOO ugly.Many thanks.

I own a 20GB iPod (third generation) and it`s superb - holds 5000 songs and does everything I want it to do. Two slight downers: no FM tuner (doesn`t bother me) and also the battery life is a little low when compared to some of the other MP3 players. Other than that, it comes highly recommended.

HTH :-)

Rik,

I`m finding that I`m charging my Ipod every night to avoid it dying on me the next day, how often are you charging yours?

Give it a couple of months and get the iPod mini.

When Creative put direct recording facilities (i.e. plug it into your hifi and record directly from a cd) on their Zen, or when iRiver make their batteries replaceable, then I`ll be getting one or the other...

I`m charging mine every three days or so.

Personally I`d go for the iRiver and avoid the iPod. yes it looks nice, but the battery is crap, and getting it to work with anything other than XP/2k is a pain in the arse (but it can be done).

Also, the audio quality of the iRiver just pips the iPod - well it does to my ears anyway.

This seem like a bargin..

20Gig - lets you record but it may be a bit big and cumbersome..
