Ok, well besically I don´t know what I need. I need good sound quality but I will spend 49€ on Sennheiser PX100 anyway.
The alternatives are for me: iPod shuffle 512mb ~100€ iPod mini 2nd gen, 4gb, 18h accu 209€ iPod 20gb, 8h accu ~300€ iPod 20gb colour, 15h accu 319€ I am mostly thinking of the mini, because of the price, and because I think I don´t want to spend all my time loading my whole music collection onto an 20gb... anyway do you really need a colour screen on a mp3 player? And what about the mini, does it have poor sound quality, tell, thoose who have it!
And hmm, any really good other alternatives out, there, I know there all, but they all just look so bad :P

The mini is nice. Transferring songs doesn't really take that long. You'll need USB 2.0 or firewire on your computer.
Like epohs I have a 20GB 4th gen, and it's perfectly fine for my needs. You never know when you'll want the extra storage.

ipod shuffle seems ridiculous to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it just an mp3 player which is always set on shuffle? That way you can't choose what song you want to hear next...Nightmare!
iPod mini 2nd gen, 4gb, 18h accu 209€ seems the best option.

With firewire you don't have to wait that long and besides...once you've put some music on it you won't change it very quick because 20gb of mp3s is a LOT of music.
You don't need a colourscreen on a mp3 player at all.
You need to ask yourself if you really want to have all this space.
I use 10gb for music and 10gb for back-up most of the time.
iPod 3th or 4th gen would be the best choice imo.

i got a 60gig ipod photo this spring. in retrospect the photo part has proven to be fairly useless so far, but i could maybe see using it in the future. i picked a 60gig because the reason i wanted an mp3 player in the first place was because i want to be able to play anything i want whenever i want in my car on while i'm walking to school. it's more than half full already and i'm sure it'll be full eventually.
the only thing i dont like about it is carrying 500 bucks in my pocket, granted i think the price dropped but it's still a chunk of change for sure. i got different, less stupid looking (not white, yuck), headphones for it because i like to be as inconspicuous as possible.

I will probobly get the iPod Shuffle 1gb for 139€. I like the idea of not having a display! And I have heard from many sources it has stellar sound quality, better than any other iPod, and even better than most mp3 players!

Take the iPod nano in consideration. 1000 songs. Impossibly small. And it has the same features as the big iPod.

1 gig for 139 euros?
the creative player has 30 gigs for about 160 euros if you look on ebay.

Thanks, I don´t want a small bling bling color screen hip gadget, I want the palyer with functionality and best sound quality, therefor shuffle, I have no visa, so no ebay, and need it for running, so I don´t want to wait.
axion: I think the sennheiser px100 are even better according to www.headphone.com, sad I just can´t find mine... damit 49€...
