Ok.... I have 300$ saved up for either an iPod(10gb), nomad(30gb), or an archos(20gb). Still havn't really made my mind up.

Any ideas from experience on which is better ?

personally, i recently bought the Nomad Muvo, 128mb USB flash drive version. To me, thats plenty for the current sogns i listen to, plus it acts as USB flash storage, something i need greatly instead of having to waste a CD on likea 5mb file. However, if your into getting HArd Drive Based mp3 players, i would go with the iPod, simply for the jog wheel. and all the neat accessories you can get for it.

Yeah, but it's so freakin cool!

Realistically. I'd say the archos or solid state. If you get something that uses compact flash (or of that sort) you can get a Gig for like 60 bucks (on top of the cost of the player)

You gotta ask yourself "how many gigs of MP3's do I listen to?"

one of the members of my crew has the nomad, says it works really well, has no problems with it.

the only thing really to debate is if you want to sacrifice 20 gigs for something popular.
