What mp3 player should I buy?

My sansa mp3 player just died.


I want a new mp3 player, and I'm thinking of just going with an ipod. I either want a 4gb or an 8gb.


Are there any other mp3 players out there that are good quality, won't DIE after a year of great treatment, and not over $200?


The ipod nano is $200, and I'm trying to find something equivalent for a tad less.


But I really want the ipod :)


I'm not sure.. suggestions please?

if u get an ipod get an 8 gig
Reply:I would suggest an iPod mini--it's cheaper and definitely less breakable--i've had one for a few years now and it should'nt die with proper treatment--you can get a 4gb or an 8gb--it doesnt have a colored screen but in my opinion its a better deal than an iPod nano
Reply:a mp4 player for 16GB sansa would be like 150 but i dont no bout how long they last but that is a pretty good price none the less but honestly the ipod nano is AMAZING. highly recomend it
Reply:Yeah i have an iPod nano video and it is great there is lots of things you can buy for it that you cant really buy for other mp3 players
Reply:go to costco they are selling really nice i-pods the one i got was $138 and its the i-pod nano

Reply:there are 2 which you need to check ypp2 8GB touch screen with bluetooth that you could make it compatible to your cell phone or zune 80GB with wi-fi sync.about 229 to 250 both around that price. hey zune is 197 online free shipping look for lowest prices on zune on the web.
Reply:In my opinion, don't go for the iPod. You're only buying the name. I used to have the Creative Zen before I got my new one, and I REALLY miss my Zen. Don't get iPod. =]
Reply:get the iPod...i love mine. my bro has the iPod nano, its amazing and much better than mine(iPod video) or any other mp3 player
