I intend to get a MP3 player within the next few weeks, but there are so many on the market that I'm not really sure what to go for, so I thought I'd ask you guys, as I imagine some of you must know what to get and, maybe more importantly, what *not* to get.

I'd like something rather compact and light, with a large storing capacity (minimum 10 Gb - okay, okay, 5 Gb would do laugh ), could store MP3 as well as various (Microsoft) computer data, and with something like a 24 hour battery. A radio tuner included would be even better.

One techie question, actually: can you program a set of songs on an MP3 player and set that program to repeat itself, like you do in any portable CD player?

Also, I know some MP3 players can be adapted into car tape-players, such as the I-River, but my car only has a CD player and no tape slot - is there any MP3 player that could play with that system?

As far as price is concerned, I've set my upper limit at 300 euro (around US$350, I believe?). Can I expect to get something good for this price?

So, um... help? Please? laugh

- Oh, you know what? I don't know what we are. We kiss and then we never talk about it. We nearly die frozen in each other's arms, but we never talk about it, so no, I got no clue what we are.
