dear users,
i am living in bangalore. i am planning to buy a Flash based MP3 player with a capacity of 1GB. i am in a dilemma on which brand to go for.

i had shortlisted two players:: Samsung YP-C1 and Transcend TSonic 610. Sam YP-C1 had been prized "The Best Value Gold" by diGit in 2005.

I want a player which should be good in battery life, formats supported, and audio quality. I had selected YP-C1 for its audio quality and battery life (25hrs!!) and its supporting many formats. but now the scenario is different. Sam YP-C1 is no longer in Market. So i am thinking of Transcend 610 priced Rs.2100 for 1Gb and 2900 for 2Gb. Trancend's Audio quality is good (as per diGit) but the battery backup is too low (just 13 hours). should i go for transcend???

Please help me selecting a player. you can enlist any other brand having the same features i desire...

waiting for your replies.

Better go for Sandisk Sansa express (1GB) or Sansa E250 (2 GB) they are much better

my vote is for apple ipod nano.
Transcends battery drains fast, after few months of use, battery time will only be few hours in Transcend.

@sude, if you can't increase your budget beyond 5k, you can go for these:

1) sandisk c250 MP3 Player 2GB along with micro SD slot for memory expansion and 32 hrs mp3 playback or 64 hour wma playback
*www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2063)-SDMX7-2048-Sansa_c250_MP3_Player_2GB.aspx

2) Sansa® Express™ MP3 Player 1GB along with microSD slot for memory expansion and 15 hrs music playback.

If you can put more than 5k, go for

1) ipod nano
or
2) Sandisc sansa e200r series player. (e280, e270, e260, e250)

Inside 3k, Transcend player is the best option
