which *flash* mp3 player?

[sathyan]

I'm in the market for a flash MP3 player. I've considered the jukebox (20GB) kind but don't want something that bulky. A 1GB player with FM radio that mounts as a removable drive would be good. Looking to spend around $100.

So to summarize, I want
-flash player
-USB 2.0 connection
-512MB or 1GB capacity
-mounts with no drivers or special software needed
-FM radio (with recording would be nice)
-usable as a portable data drive
-budget: around $100; no more than $150

I'm looking specifically at the Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB).

What would you suggest?

I will be using aftermarket headphones.

thanks,
Sathyan

"-mounts with no drivers or special software needed"

I wish they made iPods like that.


sorry I don't have a suggestion for you, maybe someone else will chime in.

I have the Nano Plus and I like it a lot. If the Sandisk weren't so ugly I would get the 2GB version.

Also, there's the iAudio U2 (integrated battery), G3 (AA), and I5 (AAA, getting hard to find). Avoid the G2 (USB 1.1).

I've got the Creative Muvo TX-FM, and like it a lot so far. My only gripe is the UI, but i rarely need to find songs, or change any settings, all the major features (next track, next preset, volume...etc) are easily accessible. The two piece design is kinda weird, but works great sinc eyou can take it apart and use it as a USB key, without an extra cord or something...

The Creative Muvo TX-FM, like JJ said, would be my EXACT suggestion.

It's almost as you were reading the specs off the box of that MP3 player when you described what you wanted in an mp3 player, Sathyan.

lol. You won't be happier with any other player...

Check out the Mobiblu Cube, it meets all your requirements. I posted my review a while back, it can be found here. There are a lot more reviews of it now than what I linked to on the post, just google it or something.
