i want to buy a new HDD player... F or X ???
« on: April 21, 2007, 10:19:05 AM »
i'm fitness instructor and i use my H320 to teach classes... (i don't use cds.... any more)
and i don't know when... but if i'm going to buy a new player.... i want to know who is more stable


Gigabeat F models
or X models

the x model have a bigger screen and i like that
for my job i use:

cue files
file songs about 70 - 80 mb (mp3s.... abut 50 or 60 minutes longer)
pitch control
gapless songs

what do you think?? which is more stable? X or F models....

or even maybe i must to wait for a possible zune port because is not (for the moment) very important but in a future i would like to have a 60gb or even larger hardrive (in the mp3 player)

thank you for your answer and sorry for my english

F or X?

Well, both players were quite stable up until last week.  Then something happened with newer builds and the LCD backlight for the X series.  I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is fixed now.  

I think the differences between the two are cosmetic.  The X of course has the bigger screen and is slightly smaller in size and weight.  The F series has the button LEDs on the side.  The X series is very elusive, so good luck trying to get your hands on one, especially the X60.  (That is unless you live in Aus or Japan ;))

It's also believed the X has a slightly smaller battery (resulting in shorter runtime)
