What player to get?

(1/4) > >>

I'm looking to get my girlfriend a new mp3 player for her birthday next month, and I am considering a model that Rockbox is curently available for so theres a choice in firmware.  I would like to avoid a repeat in crappy firmware and encryption like in toshiba's gigabeat f20 that i had bought about 6 months ago. 

Anywho, i'm looking for something in the 5-10 gig range of space.   Is there a listing anywhere of the storage space of current port models, or does anyone know which models fall in that range?

MU4L:
You'd probably be looking at getting an iRiver iHP-110/115 if 10-15 GB is what you're after. Not sure what your g/f would think of 3 year-old technology, though (as good as it is).


Alternatively, you could buy a 4GB Nano, buy an additional 4GB of Samsung flash memory, and solder it to the Nano. Or you could just wait for the 8GB Sansa to be released, though that would mean waiting for the Rockbox port for the current Sansa line to be completed.


All in all though, you're probably best off just getting her a 20 or 30GB player, seeing as she'll probably fill up a 10GB player in no time, once she gets used to being able to carry her whole collection around with her ;).

Ok, so whats good in the currently supported 20-30 gig line?  I'd get another gigabeat, but i dont think she'd like the software ectera, and the GB port probably wont be ready in time.
