and now im kinda stuck. here the deal ok so im not realy going ot use the video part but i want the big size and the thought that what if i ever do want to use the video part then i would regrett it just like how i decided not to get the nav option now i regrett it. and after searchin for other high capacity players i found some and here they are

now the other thing is that if i use my money for that then i can do the intake and the ractive tips that i was wanting to...

and this is a tough decision.... Any inputs?? also consider that if i get an mp3 player then ill most likely get the aux input also.
The iAUDIO X5 60GB is by far the feature-packed of the bunch and it offer excellent sounds. Unfortunately, their build quality at the moment is somewhat iffy. Read my experience with the X5 60GB here => http://www.xoutpost.com/the-lounge/61...-got-it-4.html

Sony players are OK, but I found most of them to have weak headphone drivers (definitely not up to par with Cowon in terms of sound quality). The same goes for Ipod...just OK.

So...if you want to take the gamble on the iAudio X5, make sure to deal with a quality company that have a good return policy as ecost's reputation is very questionable.

Do keep us posted on whatever you decide as I'm very much in the same boat as you are...looking for a 60GB or larger player.
