Noted.
Forgot to mention the Sony S-series as well, considering that in addition to above two.

Time's approaching to replace my MP3 player. My Sony's served me well, but I want something that will play video as well. Found a few potentials: Samsung YP-R1EB 2.7 - inch Wide 16GB Transcend MP860 8GB Anyone have/ever used them? Being a cheap bastard I don't really want to shell out for an iPod. Leaning towards the Samsung at the moment, but mind is open. Any other suggestions gratefully received, I'll need a new mobile as well soon enough so is there something which could combine the two? |

Is 8GB or 16GB enough for video as well? That isn't even enough for my music! |

I've managed perfectly to date with 8Gb, and change the contents a lot, so popping up to 16GB should be fine. Don't tend to watch videos on the go. |

this > you 
Seriously. It can play any kind of audio you throw at it, has amazing sound quality, stereo speakers like a fucking boombox, and can play a lot of video formats as well. |

I'm on a budget. http://www.pmpuk.com/content/pages/shop ... /7.htm#eq1 That seems to do everything well for half the price of an iPod. |

Get a used one, I did, and it works very very well, I'm never going back to Sony or Creative or whatever. I would prefer an iPhone though, cause the iPod's basically one without the call function. |

Just get an older iPod. I got one of those 80 GB bricks when they first came out. It was expensive then, but that was 5 years ago. It still works like a charm today and i've got over 10000 songs on it and over 20 videos. And I still have room for lots more. |

I want to drag-and-drop stuff onto it, though, cba with iTunes. |

iTunes is pretty damn simple to use/get use to. takes a few minutes to download, then you import your songs. then drag-and-drop onto your iPod. simple. |

My Ibiza Rhapsody is my best friend: 
30 Gb, and can be bought for less than half the cost of your standard iPod Touch on Amazon. Supports video (though not as many file types as I would like) and comes with a free 30 day trial subscription to Rhapsody, which you can connect to wirelessly; the player can download an album in a minute or less if you have a good enough wireless connection. Of course, if you're not interested in Rhapsody then this probably isn't worth getting, as navigating menus can be a bit slow. |

Yeah, not very Rhapsodian, and I want something that I can drag-drop from any PC with, which puts iTunes out the window. I'm too used to my marvellous Sony to bother learning some crappy new Apple system. |

So long as iTunes is installed, you can drag and drop from any PC with an iPod. That is what I do. |

Goddamit, stop telling me things I don't want to hear! My brother's getting an iPod Touch tomorrow, I'll steal that and see if I fancy one. The lack of wide support for differing video formats turns me off, though. |

You keep saying that, but you're the only one I've ever heard say that about iPods. |
