Right i know most of you will tell me iAudio, but hear me out.
I've never been an iPod fan if i'm honest, but now seems the time. I can get a 30gb iPod Video (5.5g i think) with its universal dock for £120. I seems smaller than the iAudio, granted it deosn't support exotic file types but i use mp3 for the most. With Anapod explorer i assume i get drag and drop integration too.

So why should i look at spending around £200 for an iAudio X5 without a dock, for something that looks (to me) bigger? I think it has slightly better battery life, but around 10 hours will be all i need. Oh actually come to think about it i do want the radio, which this does have but it seems a bit of a price to pay for radio?

Help me! I don't know what to do

I'm thinking iPod...

//Edit: Also looking at the iAudio interface and controls they seem pretty dated compared to the iPod i've never really liked th click wheel but then i've never owned an iPod, i've just used my friends they all love it, so i guess i will grow to love too? It seems to be praised for input...

//Edit2: Hold the phone, the X5 can't read ID3 tags!? Thats a bit archaic isn't it? Folder system only? How do i add extra meta data to tracks then? I don't I?
