Last week my earphones died after four years, so I ordered new ones which I can pick up tomorrow. Just now I discover that the earphone jack on my mp3 player is also dying.
A quick look at what's available shows that there aren't any mp3 players that meet all my demands. So I can either get another Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip. However, the latest firmware hasn't solved the static burst problem after playing some songs (mostly those I've converted a while ago). Or I can get an iPod Nano, which is a lot more expensive (but is 16gb) and I'll be forced to use iTunes but meets most of my demands. I only need to find a case which makes it possible to hang the player on a lanyard around my neck.
