Re: [orca-list] [completely OT]: Looking for a new MP3-player

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

An iPod Nano or an iPod Shuffle may also meet your needs and be a bit
less overkill.

I used to have and love my Stone, but when I moved up to a Sansa running
Rockbox and then a Booksense, I don't pull out my Stone any more, and I
haven't kept up with the MP3 player field to see what's out there that
is comparable to the Stone.

A player running Rockbox may also be something worth considering. You'll
have a bit more functionality than you had on the Stone, but they'll be
significantly cheaper than an iPod Touch.

BTW, I'm thinking this is off topic for this list. Unfortunately, I
don't have an alternative to suggest, since the list I was on to get
info on general MP3 players turned into an iDevices list, and I stopped
following that list.
