Decent Media Players for Cheap?

Postby slashfan7964 » Tue Feb 15, 2011 6:36 pm

I've currently got a Sansa Fuze and I love the hell outta it. But the headphone jack is beginning to go on it and I'm hoping to find a decent player with the same features (video, music, audiobooks, podcasts, pics, etc) but for a cheap price and without having to buy music. I've already got like 2000 songs but I'm afraid if I buy a new player that the songs won't show up in the system (like with Ipods) and I don't want to jailbreak it to get it to work. My price ranger is around 50 to 100 bucks. (USD).


So any suggestions?

I just said I had one. I don't want another. The screen gets scratched too easily. I can got 150 bucks if needed but it's pushing it.

After giving the matter some consideration, and weighing up all the options, I personally think you should go with getting a sanza fuze

My point is I already have one and I want something different. There's gotta be something out there that isn't a fuze or fuze + for cheap. Like 150 bucks and under.

You're not going to find a better cheap media player.

Personally I like the looks of this

It has a nice selection of features and with support for divx format I can watch at least some anime on it.

I actually like the looks of that and its dirt cheap. I bought that fuze for 60 bucks as an 8 gig with an 8gb card for 25 which was a hell of a deal. The only problem with that is no expansion slot :(

Those reviews are awful. Get a fuze broski. Also, you complain about the fuze scratching too easily. What the helld o you think that will do?

I don't mind the minor scratches to much but I was just putting that out there.

Well, if you don't put it in a case, any MP3 player will scratch.

True. But I mean it's easier to ding up than most others. The screen isn't "flexable" (not like bendy, but enough to reduce the effects of dropping it etc.).



Any others guys?

Creative Zen MX, which for some strange reason is in every possible way better than the newer, very similar Zen X-Fi.

I've got a sony Walkman NWZ-E345, and if my current one was suddenly stolen or dropped in a pool or something, I'd get another. 16GB, does MP3, pictures, video, FM Radio, and I've had no problems with it yet. Listed on amazon for $110, though I'm sure some shopping for a similar model at the right places will get you something much cheaper.
