I am planning to buy a new music player for my shows.

What is the best and most reliable MP3 player to use nowadays? Is it an Ipod, Itouch, creative or what? I use a Fender Passport 250 watts. But if there is a better sound system in the venue, that's what I hook my player and mic into.

I am not familiar with the latest gadgets lately, please help me out. I also would like to know the costs of each if possible. Thanks!

There has been a lot of discussion about different music players on this forum. If you do a search you will find it.

There seems to be several makes and models that work very well. Personally, I use an Mp3Tech from Kerry Pollock and I highly recommend it. It is about a $1000 and worth every penny.

And the iCue2 is less than $500 right now.

I already have the Virtual Soundman. I don't use it because I have a soundman to control my music. I just want to know what music player most of you are using right now.
I am still using my MD or CD player. I plan to upgrade soon.

I'm using an Ipod Nano for my shows, it works well in my peavey escourt and I think its versatile and also fits your Fender Passport 250. you can also store a lot of songs in the ipod and separate them by folder to be organize, much easier to look for a group of songs you wish to be played rather than using a cd that can have scratches when used.

I am an Ipod Nano user also. Works for me.

Ihave a cheap one that I got from my mom and dad for my birthday, I just plug it into my laptop with my set list prerorded. the laptop is connected to the sound system sometimes
