Please Help Choose a Mp3 Player to Buy (Rio Nitrus?)

[BigxGuy7]

Hey guys. I'm looking for a decent Mp3 player for about $100-$150. I want ot use it for the gym, running, etc. Do you guys know what brand and model are good? My friend is going to Hong Kong and said they have electronics for a lot cheaper over there so I might even have him look for me there. What do you guys think? Please Help! Thanks

Oh yeah, I would prefer an expandable memory slot too (SD for example)

.... Don't you need to list a paypal account or something if you actually expect people to donate towards your mp3 player?

Be careful about the Hong Kong MP3 players. A lot of them have "fallen off of trucks" and are completely unwarrantied, sometimes are even fake, just like the "genuine" DVDs that come out of there.

Even if i buy it in Hong Kong I still need to know what brand/model to buy

Rio Nitrus...pretty small, cheaper than an iPod and 1/2 the size, 1.5gb storage.

Seems like the smallest Mp3 player with the most decent amount of storage if you dont want 10gb+

IPOD

I put "Help me buy a Mp3 player" as my topic at first.

Is that small enough to take running?

IPOD = too expensive.


I was looking to get one for around $150 max.
Aren't IPODs still running for around $300 for liek a 10 GB? That's a bit much for me.

I think rather than trying to find an MP3 player, you should ask yourself, "What am I really running from?"

It's about 2.6"x3"x.6", I hope so, otherwise you need to exercise a bit more.

Do you actually have it yourself? Can you comment on performance, durability, any skipping with movement, sound quality...etc? That would help a bunch. Thanks!

Is that Rio Nitrus any good? It's on Buy.com for like $120 AR
