Can you help me choose an MP3 player?

Question

I've been through many MP3 players, and I got to say: either the products were REALLY bad, or it's just my luck...I've replaced MP3 players 13 times in total (what a coincidence...13 is an unlucky number!).

I'm with Best Buy and their 2-year plan. Right now I use the MPIO MO100. It's not widely used, and I'm having problems with it only 3 months after usage. My MP3s never pass 4 months. I'm deciding to buy an MP3 that actually lasts long with great functionality within the $100-130 range. My MPIO is $60. Please don't say the iPod--they don't fit my needs.

So...here's what I've got my eyes on.

Samsung K3 2GB ($79.99)

Samsung T10 2GB ($89.95)

Samsung P2 4GB ($139.99)

Creative Lab Zen 4GB ($89.99)

Coby Slim 4GB MP705 ($59.99)

Which one's got the best performance and longer life? I'm buying the 2-year warranty plan for the new product, but I want to make sure I don't have to exchange the product every few months! The store service is getting really suspicious and it's a waste of my time.

Please feel free to recommend anything else that's not from the list (best if from Best Buy). Again, no iPods please!

Thanks!

Hello! You should get a 4 gb zune. I know it's 150$, but the software and the user interface is so good. Also, the support cru is really good incase you have a problem! It's tough and sleek! God Bless!

Answer 2

I would say the Samsung T10. I absolutely dread Coby because it often breaks after about half a year. Creative Zen really doesn't have many fans, either. However, Insignia has several good choices as well: This one's my favorite
