MP3 recommendation
delsutton
28-08-2010
Hi

My Creative Vision M has just packed up so it's time to fork out for a new MP3 player.

I don't want to go the iPod route as I currently sync to Windows Media Player and I've been told that iPods won't sync to that. Plus, as far as I know, iTunes won't import native WMP files.

So, on the basis that Apple is out of the equation could anyone recommend a decent MP3 player? I currently have about 40Gb of music so it needs to be a fairly meaty player.

Thanks
Del

Do some research on the SanDisk Sansa Views.
I have a 4GB version but I think they go up to 32GB

Which would be useless as the OP has 40GB of Music.

The only high capacity player I know of is the iPod Classic - now 120GB. I realise you say you don't want to go down this route but iTunes will self convert any WMA files to AAC and sync with iTunes in a much smarter fashion than WMP in my experience.

Fab! I'm glad to see this mentioned as an acquaintance of mine has just got one and he is raving about it and recommended it to me. Have just ordered one!

I haven't actually got one. I've got a Cowon D2+, mainly because of the DAB radio. Sadly its been discontinued.

I upgraded from my iPod to the sony NWZ-A845 16GB with excellent noise cancelling headphones with an OLED screen. Built in FM radio, store music, video and photos.

Which would be useless as the OP clearly states he wants to avoid ipods
