hi.

i know there probably isn't a 'best' as its all subjective, however your input will be appreciated.

i'm looking for the 'best' mp3 player.

i don't care about the video features as i'll never be watching video or looking at photos with it.

i'll be listening to mp3 format.

pop and classic hard rock will be the main music, and audiobooks too.

flash drive.

plenty of bass is required.[very important.]

so as you can see, its all about the SQ of the music, that i care about.

my current player is the clip+, and i like it a lot. i've read that it is regarded as one of the best sounding players out there, however i'm hoping there are some better.

my IEMs are creative something or other! possibly 830s? can't recall.

i imagine if there is a player that can deliver good bass, i may have to invest in some other earphones? i'll be glad to hear of any suggestions.

thats it. thanks.

Nobody here even uses Mp3, not that we would give you sound advice if we did. Read your welcome message.

oh well, looks like i've picked the wrong forum to join then. BUGGER!

You did! Goodbye!

That's it, thanks.
