Default Another media player

So I lost my beloved media player a Sandisk Sansa e250
I do not really use the video function of this player.
I do love the software and the way it can hold its place in a file and can resume at the same point even after you use a different function.

I have heard so much about Archos and then found out it is on sale so that is one of my options. The thing i want to know about them is can they stand up to be knocked around in a backpack while i am biking down some single track.

I have decided to buy another media play so should i get a:

Archos 404 30GB Portable Digital Media Player $100
www.buy.com/blabla
(6 month warranty from Archos)

Sandisk Sansa e250 2GB MP3 Player $30
www.buy.com/blabla
Another one

Sandisk Sansa c250 2GB MP3 Player $15
www.buy.com/blabla
smaller and cheaper

personally i'd get the $15 one, but then again.. im just cheap, and i use my cellphone as a mp3 player.

But the $100 30gb player does look pretty cool... images/smilies/cool.gif

I am looking for a new media player to right now, I will probably get a Zune (80GB), but I have been thinking about the Archos 404 or 604.
Here is a CNET review of it: http://reviews.cnet.com/portable-vid...tag=prod.txt.1

Seems kind of big though, no?
