Ok, a friend of mine is looking for a nice mp3 player. Ipods are out of the running after finding these, and devinately not a Dell DJ(dunno why, espc. with the 20gb now available)! Here are the ones he is looking at.

Philips HDD 100 - (http://www.hifi-regler.de/shop/philips/philips_hdd_100_15_gb.php?SID=66908b8094bf66c784a96005a2a2ef16) - i think he really likes this one, but is it ont available in the US? Unless you import it anyway...

Nomad Jukebox Zen NX - (http://www.nomadworld.com/products/jukebox_zen_nx/) - ive seen something here about this one, but cant find it now.

ok, i take that back, this is his favorite - iRiver iHP 100/120 - (http://www.tu-and-tu.com/ihp120.html)

Soo, any suggestions here? basically i would appreciate anything that will help me tell him simply which one is best for him to buy without hesitation :)

Thanks,
Jake

Wow, i figured this would have had a lot of posted thoughts... only like 8 views, maybe this post will help by putting it at the top of the 'new posts' section ;) :roll:

You might get a better response on DMT.

I use the Dell DJ and love it. Not the greatest, but the best bang for the buck.

Everyone says Iriver systems rock. I have a friend w/ a Nomad and it is nice but quite a bit bulkier than the others.

I have the DJ. It is OK. Looking to trade up and get the iriver though. Personally, I hate having to use software with the Dell to move stuff to/from the player. I want my player to just be a drive so I can transfer music on and off my way and too/from any computer I wish.

I am also trying to decide which player to get. The price on the Dell is good, but I'm thinking for another $50 you can buy an Ipod. Decisions, decisions....

This is one feature that both the iPod and the iRiver have.

(By the way, have you at least tried Dudebox Explorer (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/dudebox/)? Seems to be a highly-rated addition to DJs.)
