Default Mp3 player or iPaq
Ok... this is a little bit of a listing of my current dilemma with a question included so please bare with me a little!

I am really starting to get back into my music... big time! Over the last few years my total enjoyment in music was having something on in the background in my car whilst I was driving. However I have been travelling a lot due to my job and have been spending most of that time on planes being completely brain dead board.

So this last time I put a couple of cds onto my compact flash card on my PPC (an iPaq 2210) and listened to them during the week away... fantastic! Other than the headphones I had at the time were poor and let in a lot of background noise I found the trip very relaxing - all thanks to having some music to listen to.

Since then I have started putting a lot of music onto the two compact lfash cards I have for my iPaq and have been trying out a few audio players (Pocket Player seems to be my choice but I'm still looking around).

I have also just spent a small fortune (for me at least) on some Sony headphones which are amazing!

So I get to my point... I have a little money (approx. �150) to spend and it looks like something to help with my music experience is going to consume it!! I have been weighing up the pros and cons with using my iPaq for audio and seem to have got to the following -

Pros
Only one device to carry with me
Already own it
Flexible if standards change and better software released

Cons
MP3 players offer better battery life
Not so worried about dropping / breaking it
Wouldn't want to work out with my iPaq strapped to my arm!

My iPaq is too important for it to go wrong which is why I am considering a separate unit.

Does anyone have any comments on this? Does my iPaq sound as good as say the iRiver iFP-390T? Are there any really outstanding mp3 players out there I should consider?

I have only really looked at flash players but a HDD player is an option - especially as when I then travel I wouldn't need to worry about what music to take as it would already be pre-loaded. For working out I would then probably look at a later date for one of the really cheap no-name players to cover my needs.

As long as the player can cope with mp3 and WMA I am open to any offers. If the player is worth it then I might be able to add to the funds available!!

Thanks.
