I've been resisting the MP3 players, but I'm about to be assimilated.  What's the best value in MP3 players these days?

Don't know if you would consider it the best value, but the Ipod is hands down the best MP3 player.

Just picked up a refurb US Logic 256 meg, flash drive mp3 plater for 80 bucks from compgeeks.com.
light, holds tons of music, no special software and doubles as a 256 meg flashdrive..

There are plenty of "Walkman" type players that support CDs and MP3 discs. I got my wife one for Xmas nearly 2 years ago, and she loves it. I wasn't able to find at the time a unit that had CD/MP3 AND radio, unfortunately.

I bought an ipod and a karma, checked both out, and returned the ipod.

Karma has more features, supports more file types (including lossless FLAC format, which is what my entire CD collection has been ripped to), battery lasts longer, etc.


The battery life was really the one that did it for me. I spend 10 hours at work and often listen to headphones the entire time to drown out the sound of jackass coworkers. The ipod battery didn't last a full work day.

are you looking for a large "jukebox" type player that would use a hard disk, or a small flash one to load up a few albums to listen to while working out? If the former, see my post above for my opinion.

Creative Labs Nomad is bad ass. Great value and every bit as good as an i-pod, likely better. I've owned both.
