I do a fair bit of exercise and I'm wanting to listening to some beats. What I'm looking for is - Music sound quality - Shuffle mode - under 200 AUD - Must not skip (anti skip?) I was thinking zen stone plus although I got some more questions. Won't the quality only be as good as the bitrate of the song? Won't the headphones bottle neck it? What is the point of all the different play modes - equalizer and all that stuff? thanks
Any flash player in general won't skip. Too lazy to translate the cost in AUD but the Cowon D2 is a purdy nice player with a 4GB model costing around 180USD. EQ in a player is just playing with the amount of bass & tremble in the overall sound, depending on the player you can tweek it either through named presets or a 5 band EQ. As for headphones, eh not much of an audiophile to comment on them in depth but yea, good headphones will benefit you while crappy ones will bottleneck the quality of what you could usually hear. Hope that helps
