Whats a good ~5GB mp3 player?
My uncle wants an mp3 player, I think he'd prefer one with built in radio and voice recorder. I've heard the 20/40GB iPods from my friends and they themselves as well as me agree the sound quality from the iPod isn't very good (I had a watch MP3 player that sounded miles better, and most other mp3 players sound much better).
I asked if sound quality was important and he said yes so I assume unless the new iPods fix the low quality sound then they're out of the question (I know it's not horrible quality, but it's not what I'd expect from an mp3 player costing $500 at the time, I certainly would have returned it since I'm used to the much higher sound quality from my pocket pc).
I read online that the sound from the Creative Zen is much better, are there other ~5GB mp3 players with better sound than the iPod? Do the new iPod minis have better sound quality than the original iPods? What would you recommend for him?
Thanks

(btw 'd.a.p' over here{uk &Europe} some places & not 'nomad' )
& so being confus-ed as promised earlier :eek2: .. what about a mobile phone for this job ?
So huh ? I here you mutter .. "uncle wants an mp3 player, I think he'd prefer one with built in radio and voice recorder" - new phones do that ! & they also double as media players, as you can see video on 'em too (& you'll probably get a camera 'chucked in' also).. My sister loved her ipod, until her firm gave her a mobile that takes up to 4gb cf cards & now she uses that, & says the sound is miles better too..
(You can get 'free phones' here that might do all this :thumbs: , especially on 3g tariff's, phones I know though lag behind in the states a bit model wise, is stuff like this 'generally' available though, to make this an option ? .. )
