iRiver's are good, but im a sucker for a Sony...  i've got this; http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0002T3UPG.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpga friend of mine has the newer model, the HD3, and they're bloody boss!!! i love mine, 20gb, much, much smaller than a 20gig ipod (that pic, on my 17" monitor, is bout 10-15% bigger than real life size.) its a bit more expensive, but its worth it. |

oh damn it, I'm a Sony fan boi as well. If I bought an iPod it'd be the first non-computer piece of technology I will own that's not Sony. Except my mobile...
I'm going to have to check that out.

I've heard a lot of dodgy stuff about Sonicstage, someone I know who used it lost half their mp3s  The 20GB HD1/HD3 aren't much cheaper than a 20GB iPod... |

Got a 20GB although I must admit I don't really find the opportunity to use the thing much at the moment.
I purchased mine from the States about 6 months back and just purchased a mains converter. Not sure if there is much to be saved from purchaing abroad now so may be best just sticking to the UK.
Check out the website as they had some sort of deal every Thursday morning they sold reconditioned babies with a waranty for a fraction of the price.
Make sure you get a screen cover if your picky about that sort of thing as they scratch to buggery.

if you register the mp3 player on teh sony website, they have an update download for sonicstage, i personally have never had any trouble (other than switching the mp3 player off straight after detatching it from the hub (not letting it set up the database, it wont work), and not discovering it till iwas at work :evil: ) i'm only using 5gig or so, my mate has 11gig and his is fine.

I prefer the iPod, it looks sexier (I have a thing for minimalism) and it plays VBR mp3s, which is what most of my collection is. I also know iTunes is alright and doesn't have a tendency to delete all of your music.
Anyone got one of those iPod to casette things for car stereos? What's it like?
