Help in choosing new MP3 Player

obi604

Hello

So I wont to buy a new MP3 player with a certain number of requirements which are :

1. 4GB + in size

2. An FM radio

3. A screen on the MP3 player so as to see whats going on !

4. I want a one that requires no software. i.e. I can go to PC A, hook up the music player via USB and drag and drop. I can go to my friends PC, PC B , Hook up the music player via USB and drag and drop, I can go to my uncle's PC, PC C and hook up the music player via USB and drag and drop and so forth.
So as you can see I just want one that treats the music player as another drive when I connect it to any PC and not have to install special software on each PCeach time

5. Intertwined with above, I want a music player that I can connect to any PC without having it limited/registered to certain PC's, ( I think with some music players, you are limited to only a few PC's )


And thats it, I know there is alot there and I am being finnicky, but any ideas as to which music players would suit the above criteria would be greatly appreciated

I have no requirment for the music player to show pictures or play videos

thanks

sorry for long post

Creative Labs media player

I prefer Creative - no software, more flexible when playing certain "more popular" vid formats too - xvid, divx etc.

Or if yer just after mp3 playback kill 2 birds with 1 stone and upgrade your mobile to a good Sony walkman phone and buy an 8gb M2 memory card like I did

I always liked Creative as well - I got my wife a Creative Zen:Vision M 3 years ago, which still compares pretty well with other PMPs out there.

But I reckon Sony could have been a much bigger player on the market if they hadn't gone with their own format for so many years. Some of their devices are really nice.

I agree I bought a Sony mp3 player about 4 years ago - it looked really slick like a black lighter with a glass cover, LED display, silver buttons and twisty track changer - but when I found I had to use a slow, buggy and bloated piece of software called SonicStage just to get anything onto it I went off Sony players for life - couldnt believe they shipped such an abomination with their product

thats why I want simple drag and drop

I hate all these software packages they give you which are far too complicated and cumbersome

thanks for replies
