Which mp3 player to buy
« on: November 01, 2007, 08:57:37 AM »
Hi all,

Of all the forums, this seemed like the best one to place my question...  I'm looking to replace my iPod.  I have a 20gig 4th gen.  I need something that 1.) supports Rockbox, 2.) supports .flac (or any other lossless codec), and 3.) Has a large hard drive - 100+ gigs would be good.

Any suggestions??

Thanks all!

If you want to stick with the iPod line, get yourself the 80GB iPod video. I think some online stores may have a few left in stock.

Or you can always get an iriver H140 or H340, then just upgrade the hard drive to 100+ GB.

1) Check the front page for supported players

2) All non-Archos targets support the same codecs.

3)  The largest disk size that a rockbox target comes with (excluding Archos) is 80 Gb for the 5.5 gen ipod video.
