The Chameleon Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey Gang,What in your opinion is the best low price mp3/digitlal music player?I need a low to mid price player that is decent, my old one died, and I'm saving up for a more expensive portable FLAC player, but until then I need a cheapie to get me by.Suggestions?

Blane Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Creative and IRiver make a few good ones. Depends on what size you're looking for. A decent 1gb player can be had for 100 bucks or so, but a 5-10gb might be a different story.

mattm Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) If you want to buy a cheap little mp3 player you could hit up a pawn shop and see what they have.My suggestion is to get one of the really little ones that are basically USB keys that can play mp3's (like these guys). That way, once you buy the true player later you can still use the little guy as a plain USB key which can be quite handy sometimes (like bringing dvd cover art to work to print, etc, etc)What are you looking to spend on it?

headygouda Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 What mattm said. 512meg mp3 players can be had for $60-80. Go to a computer store on college/spadina like this one here:http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=009219&cid=MP.29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I doubt you'll be able to get this deal, but if they were this cheap over here (Korea) then maybe it'll be relatively cheap in Canada.I got an iRiver H340 mp3 player.. Its 40 gigs, color, plays AVIs.. Its a bit older now, and its a bit on the bulky side compared to nanos and all the new lightweight stuff. But it cost me just UNDER $300 US!! Friggin barGOON!

bouche Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 if you had jumped in on the freeipods back in the fall, a good price would be FREE.I think it's pretty much impossible to get 5 referrals now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 The best MP3 player is the ipod nano. Bouche bought one for me on my last birthday and when I opened it I thought "Oh great, Technology Boy thinks I'll like geek stuff like he does." But I can not live without it. I love it, love it, love it! Love you Technology Boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimafleck: the living legend. Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i got a 4 gig nano for my birthday aswell, and at first, i was alitted let down because i was planning on buying a 40 gig video myself.thinkin "what am i going to do with just 4 gigs"but after a few months of use, i couldn't be happier.the size IS perfect......now that i'm so used to using a tiny nano...i look at the regular ipods and i don't think i'd be happy with the size...sure the storage is cool...but there is nothing wrong with cycling your library.

SolarGarlic Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I got a Rio Karma (plays flac) off of Ebay for $180 US. Pretty sweet deal for a sweet player.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
