Other MP3 player besides iPod
 
Does anyone use any other MP3 player besides an iPod?
Im looking to get a new one, and I want something that will hold alot of songs, but I dont want to spend $300 for an iPod.
Im also looking for recomendations on sites to "share" songs from, since Limewire is closed. Thanks for any advice!

Use your smartphone. Just need a headphone jack adapter and a decent size SDHC card and you're good.

Sure there are a bunch of them.
Not sure I want them.
You can get an iPod Nano with 16GB that should hold a few thousand songs for $179.

I like the SanDisk Sansa Fuze. This one is 8GB, plus has a micro SD card slot to increase the capacity..

Love my Zune 120GB. Never had a problem with it in 2 years and I use it hard!

I have had different sandisk products over the years and love them. I have dropped them, stepped on them and left them outside by accident and they still work fine. Plus they allow drag and drop. Also, they run around $60.

I have two Creative Zens and both have excellent sound and function/life span are good. My oldest is till a Zen Vision:M which is an older hard drive model that I am currently looking to update.

I have looked into the Zentouch 2 w/ android but it seems like the screen leaves something to be desired from online reviews. It will be interesting to see what the Samsung Galaxy looks like later this year.

I am still looking at iPod touches but would rather stay away from Apple (personal pref nothing against them)

If I could switch out my BB for and Android phone this problem would be easier.

Right now I've got a sansa clip that I've had for about 2 years. Ridiculously small but it has a display (not for video), very cheap, good sound. But I am thinking about just using my cell phone. I'm picking up a droid soon that I will have to carry with me at just about all times anyway.

I just use my phone now. But, if I were to buy a standalone mp3 player, I would go Sansa Fuze.

Never used an ipod, our family has always used (up til now, we all switched to using our phones) Sansa Views.

Sansa makes a decent mp3/video player. But now my phone has more storage than our biggest Sansa

We have three Sansa players be my wife, my son and I, but mostly we all use our iPhones...
