Hi, help me choose between these two mp3 players
1>Apple iPOD shuffle 4gen
2> Philips Spark

Storage is not my concern.
Music quality and and size is of my concern. I want it to be smaller and better music quality.

shuffle is useless. works only with itunes sync and no display. Check Sansa clip+ and creative zen stone instead.

Is the philips too not good?
Are Check Sansa clip+ and creative zen stone too small? Check Sansa clip+ doesnot look attractive in pics. I have not seen in really.

Those two perfectly fit your requirement " I want it to be smaller and better music quality". both have one of the best SQ (clean and neutral) and you can always go for a headphone amplifier or good headphones for good sound quality.

I managed to sync an iPod Nano using foobar2000 with iPod Manager component installed. iTunes deleted. :)

I would have written a tutorial. But my experiments with foobar are still on.

Here's where I learned it from though: How To Use Your iPod with Foobar2000 - How-To Geek
