Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Skiing suitable mp3 player

Hi folks,

Well I think my old favourite i-pod is on its way out after 6 years loyal service - the battery life in Austria last year just wasn't cutting it and it was running out towards the end of the day, sometimes not even making it until lunch if I used the remote on it. I have the speakers in my ear pads on my helmet (turned down so that I can hear what's around me and the missus when she wants to change the plan of course!) so I'm not looking for anything that plugs into my ears, just a standard connection to a stereo jack.

Size wise needs to be > 15Gb so that I can get a decent amount of tunes on there and just press shuffle for the day. One of my mates suggested just upgrading my phone, as it is a solid state drive that will withstand the cold weather better, but I'm not due a new one for another year.

Not fussed about brand, just a decent battery life and a decent amount of room. Any thoughts out there please?

I would favour your friends suggestion. Any phone will do the trick as long as there's enough room for music or a card slot. I wasn't even aware that mp3 players are available anymore rolling eyes

There is always the iPod Touch?

There is actually a heap of them out there, ranging from a few dollars, to http://gearpatrol.com/2015/05/14/6-best-portable-hi-fi-music-players/

Thought about a new battery for the i-pod, but I don't get home until less than a week from my next skiing trip to Breckenridge, so there's not much time to send it off. Might see if I can find somewhere in Glasgow that can do it there and then though!

Sansa clip made by scan disk expandable memory via sd card it tiny and it knocks the socks of other MP3 players 3 or 4 times the price. Just google it and read the reviews

If your current libary and playlist are in iTunes, I'd go for another iDevice, for simplicy. Its a opain the in the back bottom to recreat all that IMO.

All the new devices are solid state from touch, nano or suffle or as other have said, pick your self up an iPhone.

+1 for the Sansa Clip recommendation. Excellent battery life and great sound quality.

Thanks folks! Just gone and ordered a Sansa Clip sports thingy from Amazon. £40 odd including a case for it. Thought 8GB might be too small, but a decent sd card will easily solve that. A lot of my music is in both i tunes aac and normal mp3 files on a different hard drive so it's no bother using either or. Certainly more than enough tunes to keep me happy skiing or on the poma tows.

Cheers for the help - knew you'd come through.
