Best Non-HDD based portable MP3 player

[CupCak3]

I'm looking for new MP3 player which I can use to workout which has a screen readout, good battery life and is readily available. Also the ability to play a wide variety of formats would also be usefull but not necessary. I'm pretty much looking for anything but an ipod 🙂


Thanks!

Glad you know you dont want an Ipod. That simplifies the suggestions.

I'd recommend one from Creative.

Get something small and (relatively) cheap, like the Nano.

If you dig around the web, you can find these cheaper.

Sounds like you want a Sansa. Check out the Sandisk Sansa e2x0 series. Great flash players, competitive with iPod Nano (which is another good choice).

I'm looking that the sansa e2x0 and the meiza m6. I just want a UMS, flash MP3 player with a decent battery life that is like 4-8 gigs.
