Suggestions For An Mp3 Player

Recommended Posts

|------ BACK STORY --------|

 

I have had it with iTunes and iPod and Apple altogether. I built a new computer recently and got around to finally reinstalling iTunes. I connect my iPod and decide to sign into the Apple store to make sure my apps and stuff would get deleted. iTunes wouldn't accept my password. I wasn't really sure what I had made it, so I decided to reset it. I follow the instructions and the **** webpage kept saying my session had timed out, though I was on there for less than five seconds.

 

The next day I tried again. It finally proceeded to the page telling me an email has been sent. It never arrived, so I tried again with the same results. After who knows how many password reset emails I didn't receive, I tried to log into the app store on my iPod and it worked. So I tried on iTunes again, but no. I finally found how to reset my password and iTunes finally let me log in. But was I done? Hell no.

 

So I go to sync my music library and found files I never added. After ten minutes of searching Google, I managed to purge the library and rebuild it with the correct folders. And I'll be d***ed if I still wasn't done. After iTunes converted 60+ (67, I think) files to AAC - for the third time after the latest install - and I told it to sync, it reported I didn't have enough memory. iTunes said that the current collection would be purged and replaced, so why is there not enough memory. All that was going to change was two, maybe three, songs were to be added.

 

What was the solution, you ask? After an additional ten minutes of searching, I found that I had to sync the iPod with no music selected to manually purge the music collection. I then got to let iTunes automatically sync the music library. The entire process of updating my music library took over one week. Over one *** **** week to add two songs to a *** **** "mp3 player."

 

|-------- QUESTION --------|

Can any of you recommend an MP3 player (not an iPod nor anything by Apple) with these specifications:


  • Drag-N-Drop Music Transfer: If it takes more than two mouse clicks, it takes too many
  • MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG* support: These make up my entire collection
  • No Video Support*: My videos look terrible as it is; I don't need a small screen to make them worse
  • Internal Battery*: This is a biggie for me. AAA's die on my one gig MP3 player before I make it all the way through the songs. That is with me skipping half of them.
  • At least 8GB Internal Storage*: My collection currently is almost a full 6GB.
  • FM Radio*: For when I get bored of my collection and/or want to fish for other music to get

* OGG isn't a must, but would be nice

* If video support comes with it, that's okay. I just want as basic a player as I can.

* Eh, 15 hour should be enough

* 8GB minimum, preferably 10GB

* Not an absolute must, but a big factor

 

The Sensa by SanDisk seems good, but the $40 version doesn't have the radio. The $50 version has the radio, but more features than I need. (I don't know where those numbers came from)
