Looking for a good Portable mp3 player - mp3 player Discussion Forum
Currently I have a Creative Zen Xta 60gb, but creative has stopped making them and my hard drive broke.
I'm currently looking for a new MP3 player, I was looking at the creatives and a few other brands till I noticed they were flash drives.
So I started looking at the hard drive based, and narrowed it down to zunes and archos.
I need heavy storage, 60+ gb, video is nice but not needed.
But stability, high music volume (because I ride on a noisy commuter train), and file storage is a must.
I was going to buy based off of customer reviews, but for every product I looked at had good and bad.
And the fact is you never know if the bad is becouse the person doesn't know how to use it or if it is a genuine problem.
Can you guys/gals help?
And I'm not a big Ipod fan, the fact that I have 3 sources to choose from and the fact that it is a pain to transfer music between the sources and from the player to the source (Ipod touch especially) soured me quick on them.
Also the fact that I can't transfer work files and use the device to transfer back and forth to my home system.
I borrowed my co-workers for a week while he used my creative before it went bad.

Have you considered a Cowon product?
They are known for their sound quality.
I have 2 cowon products and a 3rd on the way.
Can't find anything that compares to sound quality and I have owned Zunes, Ipods and a Zen.
For what you are looking for here is a link to one that has the capacity
Cowon Q5 80 GB Video MP3 Player (Dark Blue)
Good luck!

Thank You Fun doll, I've had mine for a few days now and it beat all my expectations so far with no problems at all.
I appreciate your advice since it helped out a lot.
It's a little expensive, thats true, but its worth every penny Took me a day or so to get used to the controls since I used a zen for so long;
But set up, transfers, and wifi set up with no trouble at all.
Now I'm going to buy a case and maybe a second one for the wife since she's been using it when I'm home.
My co-worker (the one I borrowed the ipod from) also tried it out when I was in meeting and he liked it enough that he bought one last friday.

For your noisy commute, I would suggest some Altec Lansing EarBuds that have a wood fitting for the speaker, they are AWESOME.
I use them while mowing and hear very little noise from the mower and I have my mp3 volume about 1/2.

Actually the iPods become very good players once you install Rockbox on them.

Even if you don't, you can use MediaMonkey instead of iTunes to transfer music on and off iPods.
