I've got a Sansa Clip 2Gb. Very good indeed.

Why is it that whenever one wants to purchase an MP3 supported product, it is for iPOD only?

For example, car stereos, kitchen radios etc. If you want to have a direct connection to these products, for example, menus displays etc. generally speaking they are only compatible with iPODs.

Big Wrong there dude, in fact i would say with car stereo's you are less likely to be able to find one where an ipod works than a standard mp3 player, at least you don't need that stupid itunes , any stereo with either a USB port or headphone jack will work with an mp3 player, not all will work with an ipod so all in all you are better off not getting an ipod and being trapped with using their horrible program, and no i'm not being biased as i have an iphone

I know that one can plug USBs and headphone jacks in all kinds of places, but I am referring to dedicated ports in sound bars and stereos etc. that are specific to iPODs. I can stick wires everywhere to Sunday, but it won't make the MP3 stand up in the recess, nor will it make the remote control work or bring up the display on the screen.

Fair enough but you wouldn't buy an iPod dock if you didn't have an iPod so it has no meaning

But there are no, or very few, alternatives. None that work as well as those made specifically for the iPOD. My point is, I am getting fed up with having to jury-rig connections etc. to get only part usability. Why can't manufacturers offer a comparable product? :mad:

I am not expecting anyone to come up with a sensible answer, I'm just ranting. :)

Re: MP3 Players
 
im confused to where this has lead to. I asked for someone to recommend a MP3 Player, what the hell has it got to do with Ipod and car stereo compatibility?

OK, well to get back on topic, my vote would be another Zen.

I'll second that. Much better than an iPod IMO, and it supports more files and (mine, anyway) has expandable memory.

Point taken, although the thread was just entitled "MP3 Players." ;)
