Well, not even this, just a new guitar in general. My acoustic is frustrating to say the least...

What Sony one has 80gb capacity? I've a Sony NWZ-A845(16gb) and while it has some very nice features and it's size is great (think iPod Nano 5th Gen), the major letdown is its low power (can't fully power my large headphones without a portable amp, has no problem with earphones) and it's lack of accessories. It is near impossible to get a dock for it/

Putting music on it is nice though. It supports Drag and Drop, a Sony propriety program, as well as WMP and other similar sync programs.

I just want something that isn't such a pain in the ass to use. Is there a MP3 player you can just put music on, in an easy, uncomplicated way, that has a sizeable memory? Please note, I am aware that for some of you I have basically described the iPod, but I just don't fancy all the crap that comes with this thing anymore. The control over transferring libraries and whatnot, it irks me somewhat. The fact is, having all my library in the weird iPod files means I'd have re-burn/rob/steal/kill in order to move it to another player! Steve Jobs, you live on, even in death.

True thaat.. Although my one (I'm not sure what it is, it's new though cos I got it two weeks ago!) is deadly! The battery lasts ~6 days with a good bit of use each day and the sound is amazing, especially with the earphones that came with it!

As for the dock, I use my iPod dock and just connect it via a wire..

Aaaaaaaah.. I dunno about anything that'd go as far as 80gb that wouldn't be Apple.. I think they're the only ones who offer mp3s that go up that high in memory, unless you can buy one online with an external memory source on and you can find a memory card to suit!

Cowon do mp3 players with large memory as well. Can't remember the name but I know they have an IPod Classic challenger. They may be a little bit dearer, but sound quality is meant to be amazing, though I haven't tried one myself.

Noel, also, does your sony yolk have built in digital noise cancelling when you use the supplied headphones?

Yup it does!

You could of course use your phone, though that would limit you to 32 GB Max storage

I vouch for the Cowon, price is a higher, quality is better. Had a chance to have a go on one of these

But risk poor sound quality. NEVER

shadowninty

Well if you are considering a Cowon I doubt you could put up with phone quality tbh :pac:
Nokias had really good quality music playback over speaker and earphones, shame about the whole crappy OS problem

K, so I need a new laptop because this one is banjaxed. I have about £400 to spend (so like €550 I guess). I really only need it for the internet and itunes but the actual physical build needs to be sturdy (the acer I have now is quite flimsy). I thought about getting a netbook but I don't think I'd like the small keyboard..

So, yeah basically anyone know what laptop I should get?

Ps. Recommend a pink one and we'll be friends for life.

And the most unreliable brand on the market. (Ive dealt with enough of them)
Id run with an Asus like this or one of Toshibas Satellite range.

Nothing wrong with it at all. Samsungs build quality has really come on in the last few years.
I give it a Chinholio seal of approval
