Another thing I have been toying with getting for quite a while is a decent large storage DAP (Digital Audio Player). This is something I feel I can justify a lot more than a notebook, as it costs a good deal less and is something I will get a hell of a lot of use out of. As usual, my problem is I can't find the ideal DAP for me. Here's a quick history so far...
I've been very into DAP's since the start. My first DAP was actually called the DAP Pro, made by a company called Eisen in Korea. Back in the early days of MP3 player it was heralded as one of the best, as it was cheap, upgradeable, had good battery life and excellent sound. Plus it was fairly small as they go.
When Windows XP SP2 came out, the USB code changed and Eisen weren't too quick at fixing the drivers so they worked again. Plus it was starting to show its age and 64Mb really wasn't enough, so I got myself a Creative MuVo NX 128Mb. I still have it and use it for the gym where its perfect.
The only reason that the MuVo NX isn't my main player now is that I opted for an MP3 phone, the Sony Ericsson W800i. The advantage here is that the music is interrupted if I receive a call or SMS message, plus I only have to carry one device and its got 512Mb of memory to boot.
The downside of this phone is that the software isn't very good, the audio quality is average, the equaliser is poor and it just doesn't hold enough music. So thus starts my quest for a large storage MP3 player.
