Well recently I kinda broke the screen of my mp3 player so I was thinking about buying a new one. I need some suggestions of mp3 players so if you some good ones, with video (enough big screen like the ipod video ones) and with a not that big storage (30GB max) and not very expensive too .
I'm living in canada if it may help.
Also, I'm thinking about maybe the iPod video so for those who have an ipod video, is it good and worth to buy?

ipod video: worth every dollar, besides its cheaper now, and the zune is at the same price, but it sucks!!!!!!
zune= brick made of sheit and a lcd screen... it suck!
* Voldemort runs from zune lovers, if any.

well my suggestion is dont buy a RCA Lyra they suck totally

* Supersonicdarky slaps voldermort

i'm not a zune lover, but it does pwn ipods...

toshiba gigabeat s / iriver h10 20gb ftw!

If you do really want to use have video playback capabilities on your player, I suggest you to get Archos.

I highly doubt anyone can watch videos conveniently on iPod Video.
Zune's screen is bigger, but I would wait until Microsoft releases the next generation.

I will have to prove you wrong

My brother got a RCA Lyra old school 512mb MP3 Player around a year ago.

It might be little space but it rocks. I mean, it runs off 1AAA battery (Unlike crappy rechargable Li-on batteries) ANd it does actually last the 'Lasts Up to 20 hours'

I mean my brother got a iPod once, said it goes up to 20 hours, thats like limited things, No backlight and stuff. Etc.

With the RCA Lyra my brother got regardless if he had the backlight on or whatever it lasted the whole 20 hours off that 1AAA battery.

Anyways,

iPod's are cool because they have the "Parachute" and "Brick" game. Those rock ...Either than that they suck

Zune's look cool, but I would not really want that either.

If I was getting a MP3 player I would just want to get a simple 10gb   MP3 player with no extra things ....Just a transfer to and listen thing. I don't need games. Just music and backlight

Now brightness can be set, and even in its lowest point, its bright enough to see clearly in sunlight and great at night.

I havent been a big fan of Apple in the past, but Zune is no where near upto standard in the way its designed, so im gonna have to agree with Voldermort on Video iPod

If you're looking for something other than an iPod (lets face it, almost everyone has one, so they're not cool... and Borat is right, iPod Minis are for girls ) then you may want to check out the Zen Vision M.

It has the added benefit that it can play back movies in XViD and other common formats without a recode, (Which is why I use it as a PMD instead of my PSP) and also that it doesn't use iTunes (which I despise since it tries to convert all my WMA files to MP3 AAC).

I've not had a chance to look at the Zune yet, but I doubt it'll be anything special.
