Should I buy a Sansa e260 or an Iriver Clix? Or any other good mp3 player?

Question

I'm really stuck on which mp3 player I should buy. Should I buy a Sansa e260 with 4GB (http://www.lilmonsta.com/) or should I get an Iriver Clix (http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/ultra/clix/clix-2GB.aspx)? I used to have an iPod mini, but it's messed up. It's been a while since my iPod broke and I don't want to waste money, so I want to make a good decision.

The Sansa has more space for music. It also has a nice and sleek look and better controls.

The Iriver Clix has games which is what I really love about it since it can keep me busy when I'm bored or waiting somewhere. And I think you can customize the wallpaper. But it only has 2GB and I'm not all that crazy about the controls.

I know alot of people are going to say iPod. Although I like the look and controls, it doesn't have alot of features and are too pricey.

Anyways which one would you buy if you were me? Is there any other good mp3 player with alot of features, space, and a good price?

Thanks!

Use cheapest prices search engine for both the price and read the consumer written reviews.
Almost every merchant uses them.

I owned the iPod mini and I thought it was great. Then it started having problems and I had to send it to Apple for repair. Then I used the replacement for a while, then it got stolen.

I now own the Sansa e260. It's great and the features and price make it better than the nano.

However here are the reasons that make me wish I still had the iPod mini:
1. The buttons are hard to press, you have to use the tip or side of your fingers. The iPod wheel was so much easier.
2. Scrolling through a song was so much easier on the iPod. You can just move around the wheel real fast to get where you want to go. Now when I want to go back to a long podcast, I have to spin the wheel like 20 times to go ten minutes forward.
3. Lack of accessories. If you lose the cable it's about $15 and Sandisk has a shortage. There is only one case on the planet made for it.

Using it is a bit frustrating, it'll take me a while to get it to be as easy as the iPod mini was for me.

I like the FM tuner w/ presets, video playback, MicroSD slot, and voice recorder on the Sansa, but it just isn't as user friendly as an iPod.
If you can really make good use of these extra features, then pick the Sansa. If you are mostly using it for music, pick the iPod Nano. When the new iPod comes out give the nano to a relative/friend. Make sure you buy a skin to protect the Nano since it is a scratch magnet. Try decalgirl.com.

I don't know much about the iRiver clix, but it looks promising. Time for me to do some research. For video playback though, you're better off with a PDA. Stick with the Sansa or Nano for music.

The Sony is quite good because it has greater desirable sound than the iriver clix and noise canceling characteristic. there is likewise the s616 that's the same remarkable gadget minus the noise canceling characteristic and it value much less, meaning you may get a 8gb kind for appropriate to the same cost as a 4gb with noise canceling. The Clix2 has a greater and somewhat greater desirable high quality show at 2.2in vs the a million.8in for the Sony. The Clix2 additionally has flash lite help, so which you may use custom flash subject concerns, and flash lite video games. The Clix2 is likewise an older gadget and is quite replaced by skill of the smaller iriver lplayer which has 2.0in show. They the two have fm radio, however the clix2 additionally has voice recorder and ogg audio help which the two are very advantageous constructive factors. The Sony additionally has the income of an prolonged battery existence of 33 for audio and six hours(for the non noise canceling kind uncertain appropriate to the kind with noise canceling, even though it is going to be comparable) for video whilst in comparison with 24 hours for video and 5 for audio. in case you do no longer safeguard fm radio, and different extras, might I advise the Sony A720 sequence. It has an audio battery existence it is final 34 hours(video is approximately 7 hours) with a 2.4in show. same remarkable sound, audio and video help because of the fact the different Sony fashions. It additionally thinner, yet somewhat taller and wider. certainly sakisaki is incorrect. I actually have a Sony A728, a Cowon A2 and a ipod mini. so some distance the Cowon has dealt with me the suitable. I even have long previous with the aid of 2 click wheels on my ipod on the same time as i think the Sony is outfitted the suitable.

Iriver Clix. The control in Iriver Clix is much better. The screen is brighter, bigger and just beautiful. It loads picures and video freakin'ly fast. It's smaller and sexier. U can go to Best Buy and test both of them, u'll see.

Answer 5

I say, get the player that gives you the most for your money, the one that looks good, and the one with the least amount of moving parts. (HArd drives, buttons, wheels, can wear down faster than flash memory and a touch control pad). And most of all get the one that has the easier and faster controls. BElieve me its worth it when you are looking for a song.
