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 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.

well all ive gotta say is.....Why do you need video playback that much....you dont! a small screen and stupid music videos (  dont tell me that you think you will look cool walking down a street looking at this screen watching a video!) If its compusliry that you have video playback go for the Ipod Video. But my dad has that one and to tell the truth..its a bit heavy! I on the toher hand i have the Ipod nano 4GB. Its great. Its small and tiny! the battery is pritty good. so thats my sugestion.

ZUNE - it has video playback but its huge ...bad buttons....very heavy....and the worst of all they tell you it has Wifi for sending song and stuff to your mates...the only downside you can only play them 3 times! and then you have to buy it! I think this then enliminated the great feature of the wifi...and also that all the wifi can do! so dont go for the Zune if u ask me.

Well, I have read somewhere that it's processor can support Linux, so, that can probably be bypassed when Linux is available for Zune

Or is Linux already available for Linux?

If you want video playback, get a PSP, they're not very cheap though (at least in Australia).

Sandisk Sansa players (e200 series) seem nice, I've never used an e200 though (I've tried older ones). Will play whatever music, and just put on the USB mass storage device or use MTP if you really want. Photos and videos need to be converted though.

Don't get an iPod. Especially for video, because the battery life isn't enough.

I myself own a Sandisk Sansa e250, which is quite good, plays photos, videos, music and FM radio.

I uploaded an episode of something or other to it one day, when I found out it splits the video into separate parts about 10 minutes each.

I think it's meant for music videos, not 30-minute tv shows.

As for the battery, its as good as whatever player that was that actually did last the 20 hours as promised.
