    • does it satisfy following criteria?
      1) speed adjustment (so that i can listen to the phrases at slower speed without pitch distortion)
      2) sleep function (sometimes i listen on bed then doze off)
      3) long battery life with single charge (min 10 hours)
      4) support playlists (cheap china made players only folder playback cannot set sequence nor choose songs)
      5) drag n drop (creative n sony players good, but their propriety softare for transferring sucks)
      6) both mp3 n wma support.
      7) have a hole to hang the player from neck (maybe this sounds silly, but my previous ipod nano doesn't even have this simple feature)
      8) 3.5mm earphone jack (maybe this sounds silly again, but 2.5mm is plain troublesome)

      pls sms 90.23.08.35 if yes to all the above
      thks!

      refer to my thread at http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/sh...php?p=30321276

      it doesn't satisfy the 1st condition n playlists can only be made using creative's lousy software...

    • now i know the following players meet the listed features:

      1)  iRiver E100
      2)  Samsung YP-P2
      3)  Samsung YP-U3 (except feature 7, no hole)

      hope a good 2nd hand offer (within my budget of $150) comes along soon :D

    • darn...
      after some more research, found that only one of the 3 players i short-listed above fulfils all criteria; that's the Samsung YP-U3. It has a hole for lanyard actually, according to ppl who bought it overseas; but the hole is at the detachable end...

      the iRiver E100 doesn't have the speed adjustment. the scan speed is for the rate at which the player fast-forwards (good for very very long tracks, though).

      according to samsung sg site , Adjustable Play Speed is No, although FireHobbit's post here as got Play Speed Control wor...

      really dunno why these so-called branded mp3 makers can't even implement this simple speed adjustment feature... not just my current "brandless, made-in-china ipod clone" has this, even my antique alkaline-battery-run Easytech 512 mp3 player got this feature last time.
