Best mp3 player around?

[Paul.]

thanks guys. almost sold on the Sony now

hi Steve, thanks for that great info does it definitely work with apple AAC format do you know? don't think I've asked that before thanks dan

It is able to support non DRM AAC files. AAC is not an Apple format, funnily enough Sony were part of its inception, Apple just popularised it (sounds familiar )

Perhaps late in the day now, but at home we have 2 mp3 players. A 5th Gen iPod classic (my better halfs) and my Creative xfi (1st series).

In SQ terms it is no contest. The Creative is far superior, even the supplied earphones are pretty good (and better than a pair of Sennheiser earbuds I have).

Loading the iPod is a mare. The Creative I plug in and it acts like a HDD, so I organise it in folders and drag and drop. The iPod will not let you do this.

One plus tho of the iPod is there are a HUGE amount of dedicated docks available.
