Question Possible DAPs, Which Do You Think Is The Best?

Okay, after going to 5 stores [Best Buy, Futureshop, Staples, WalMart (Don't ask, lol), and The Source], I have figured out a list of possible DAPs I could get:

Creative Muvo V100 1gb - $70 CAD
Sandisk Sansa Express 1gb (Not released yet, but I can wait) - $70 CAD
Sandisk Sansa C240 1gb - $100 CAD
Sandisk Sansa E140 1gb - $90 CAD
Insignia Sport 1gb - $90 CAD
Apple iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation 1gb - $90 CAD
Sony NW-E003 1gb - $85 CAD
MPIO FL400 1gb - $75 CAD
MPIO MG100 1gb - $100 CAD
MPIO FG200 1gb - $100 CAD

Which do you think would be the best for me?

Question Just Wondering...

I'm just wondering (slightly off topic), but does anyone know of an mp3 player that has built in USB, UMS, and a rechargeable battery?

You can get a returned Insignia NS-DV from dealtree.com for like $75 USD. http://www.dealadeal.com/cart/select...t=96245&cond=7 A few people who got their NS-DVs from there said they were nearly brand new, with the screen protector still on and everything.

Samsung YP-U2 1gb for $65 (75cad)

Creative-Labs MuVo V100 2gb - $65 (75cad)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation


man the sansa e250, meizu m6 2gb and 4gb, samsung z5,
you can get any of those players for around $99-$110 (115cad-128cad)

why buy one of those inferior players?? you should try to get
some more money and buy one of thoses.

Yesterday, I got the Sansa E250 for a price of $110. The main reason I was looking for another player is cause I'm probably gonna be getting a Linux computer within the end of the year (my current Windows XP computer is having tons of problems - so if I got Linux, I'd need a UMS device), and that my Zen is constantly being taken away from me by my dad, so he can listen to it at work .

So if your Zen V is working again why are you getting another one? Use it until it totally craps out then get another one. If you want a built-in USB and just for exercising look at the old Zen Nano Plus with armband included (no screen for pics thoughs) http://us.creative.com/products/213_featured.html

No built-in USB but expandable is a sandisk c240 http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item...layer_1GB.aspx local circular flyer currently at $49 USD http://staples.shoplocal.com/staples...579465&offerid=
