Mp3 Player options

[jake080]

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/phili...a96005a2a2ef16) - 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

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? Seems to be a highly-rated addition to DJs.)
