I assume this has been asked before, but the search doesn't work very good for me, so here goes...
I am planning on leaving to do some extensive travelling (many years), and need a polayer to take with me.
I would like (and realize I will have to compromize in some areas), in no particular order...
lotsa storage (30gb+)
easy to use with one hand (will often be on a motorcycle)
ability to use smartlists/playlists
easily rate songs (which will eventually transfer back to MC)
small
long battery life (might be able to rig a power supply to the bike?)
prefer to use aac format for smaller - good quality sound (but not necessary)
reasonably priced
definately want gapless playback option for some genres
Other than that, I can't think of anything right now.
Don't need any radio functionality (can live with it, but don't need it outside US)
Anyone have any opinions/suggestions?
Thanks
