iPod, iRiver, Dell DJ, Creative, Sony...what's the best mp..

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I know iPods are all the rage right now, but does anyone have experience
with the other players? I'm having trouble making the commitment, even with
the limited choices in front of me.

As far as external speakers are concerned, somebody here recommended the
Tivoli PAL, which looks like the real deal. But I need an mp3 player.

Perhaps there is a web site that does thorough reviews; head-to-head
comparisons?

I submit my pitiful, pathetic questions at the feet of the rec.audio.tech
gods and goddesses for your amusement. Please take mercy on your humble
servant, and impart a morsel of your boundless wisdom upon his unworthy
head.

Baelzar,

I went through the process of choosing an MP3 player a
couple of months ago and got myself an iAudio G3 with 1GB
flash memory.

I haven't regretted my choice and enjoy this powerful little
beast still vividly. An independent review can be found here.

What is the model number of the iRiver device best for recording, and can it
record directly from an external mike?

Thank you,

Norm Strong

I have no experience with the others, but I have played with a DJ. It
seemed small and rugged enough, but I was not impressed with the user
interface.

If you don't need a portable player, check out sonos.com.

Bit the bullet and bought an iAudio M3 from newegg.com, and a Tivoli PAL
from eBay.
