Would you prefer this than any other mp3 players

no. it works quite well and plays music/vids fine, but its definitely not the best i've used. i would recommend the 'coby' brand for a good quality, long lasting mp3/video player. the problems i've had with this include: difficult to use touch screen, choppy video quality, and the pictures this device takes will not upload to any social media website. not sure why. i am currently using a coby brand mp3 player that i have had for about three years and still works wonderfully. of course they've updated their products, but just look into them for something good.

That is a drawback with this unit as it doesn't have a customizable equalizer. I will say that this is less of a problem with this Creative player than most others. I am currently using this and a Sansa clip +, the sound, especially using bluetooth is much better than the Sansa which does have the customizable equalizer. Many people get around this by installing Winamp ( which I have) since it's an android based player there are software solutions available. Fortunately the Creative hardware is excellent which definitely helpsl

The sound on the Sony is pretty spectacular, it offers you, the user, quite a bit of flexibility in adjusting the sound, tone, etc.I purchased the Sony unit for a couple of reasons, one, I've had great luck with their "portable" units in the past, but this unit in particular allows me to play CDs, tapes, the radio, or from a USB source. I've loaded a variety of music onto thumb drives, and allowed the Sony to shuffle the music and basically play "DJ" for gatherings without me having to give up my evening to keep music going. I'm not overly familiar with the Sharp GM-X10 system, so it's difficult for me to make an honest comparison between the two.Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes, which is another reason I like it. It provides me with the option of playing MP3 CDs or playing selections from a thumbdrive, and because of its size I can easily take it with me (say on a long trip) and play those thumbdrive selections or the MP3 CDs while we drive.

It technically has an MP3 player but it doesn't cycle through your playlist like it should. It stays on repeat until you change the song and then repeats that song aswell.

That is how I use it. You can opt to create a higher quality mp3 when you record if you need better quality. I like that flexibility.

The player supports lossless audio formats like FLAC, APE. Using those you can enjoy crystal clear and 'juicy' sound in comparison to mp3 of any level of compression. The earphones are quite nice. But you always can buy some other... :). 32Gb can make you happy because FLAC or APE files are typically 10 times bigger than mp3.However, iPod also supports lossless audio format - ALAC (.m4a). So the choice is yours... Hope this helps

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

Yes you can. It comes with an Audio Companion for MP3 players. I have mine on my iPod.

Does it record MP3 as it's playing? No. Great device though. With a 16 gig flash drive, you have a ton of music at your disposal and you don't have to worry about CD skipping or going bad. Great bass too.

No it didn't, but would you want the absolute cheapest headphones that typically come with gadgets? The only thing I don't love about this MP3 player is the memory is too small. Everything else is either awesome or appropriate for the price tag.

I assume that both ways would work since it is just like any other mp3 player.

i do not think so, but this is a great little unlt. the mp3 capability makes it a treasure.

Thank you all for your thorough responses! I bought the X1 because it has similar functionality to the X5 and is much cheaper (I also obviously get less). If I like it I will definitely upgrade. The majority of my music and books on tape are .mp3 format- so I want to make sure it all transfers well. Also the X1 is smaller and since I run a lot I didn't want a bulky mp3 player. Some said the X5 is rather large and heavy compared to other mp3 players.

I caught the attention of a small mp3 player that also wanted to try, it is excellent in sound and design, manual FM search, you can place a MSD Blast is loaded with facilida despite being small has a good audio power. recommend

Mine sounds great, only on volume number 22. I played MP3 via a flash drive, sounds really good, even at higher volume.
