recommend a good flash memory based mp3 player

[DeeKnow]

I'm looking for a flash based mp3 player that also includes a microphone input for recording. It would be super if it also took AA or AAA batteries, and included a radio tuner...

can anyone recommend something that meets all the above ??

muvo slim has everything but uses a rechargeable li-on battery

I think this might be a viable option, but I don't know about the FM tuner (plus it's not flash)

thanks for the suggestions.... there MUST be something out there that has all the features requested...

I think the Muvo TX fits all your criteria. Recorder, flash based, one AAA battery, and FM. It also has a usb plug directly on the unit so you dont need cables. They have them in 256M 512M and 1G.

I have it.

The Creative Muvo TXFM. Has a mic, FM radio, takes AAA batteries. I got my 512 meg for 70 bucks a year ago. Also right in to a USB port with its integrated USB male port.

i have tried at least 7-8 different flash memory based mp3 players and i highly recommend iRiver players. (i am currently using the iriver IFP-799)

it has very good battery life (799 has about 30-35hrs on a single AA batt.), built in mic, fm tuner, line in for recording any audio source, plays wma& ogg& mp3, once you flash the firmware to UMS version, you can use the player as a microdrive and do simple drag&drop.

plus, the player comes with case, armband, neckstrap, and a sennheiser earbud.


EDIT: another player that i recommend is Samsung flash based players. believe it or not, Samsung flash based mp3 players are just as good as iRiver ones. (their hdd based players suck big time though.)
