iPod mini volume - first time buying mp3 player - please help

[Greg]

Ok so I was listening to a friend's iPod Mini and I thought to myself "hmmm its a bit quiet lets crank it up a bit" but it was at full volume.... does any1 else find that it is a little on the quiet side?

Ok so I am choosing a mp3 player 5gb minimum must have FM radio so iPod is out. I am torn between 3 players
1) MobiBlu DHH-100 5gb (esp love stereo sound option)
2) Creative Zen Micro 5gb
3) iRiver H10 5gb

Ok earphones arn't a problem cus i have my sony fontopia's but I dno i do like my sound to be QUITE loud but not too loud - mayb a bit louder than iPod's. Im thinking about creative but i hear FM is a bit crappy. iRiver i don't know about and iv never heard of MobiBlu - suggestions would be appreciated guys thank you. :beer:

you can make it louder by putting the mini into your computer!
i cant remember becasue its been ages since i used i-tunes!!, but its some type of vlume control on the i-tunes options at the top!!
Cant help you on chossing an mp3 bt if radio doesnt matter then get the Song NW-HD3!! ITS AMAZING!!

If you want an FM Radio too I recommend the Cowon iAudio M3 20GB. It is slightly smaller than a standard 20GB iPod, has SMS sound so you can alter it to fit your needs exactly, as well as a graphic equalizer. The volume is very loud - goes up to 40 but I rarely use it over 30 because after listening for too long I notice that I can't hear aswell when I take my headphones out lol. The inline remote with a screen is also very useful.

They're retailing for about £215, or £239 if you want the M3L, which is the same as the M3 20GB, but is slightly thicker and boasts 35 hours battery life on one charge.

If you want the link for the site just PM me and I can give you it in PM.

www.mp3players.co.uk

I don't even like the iPod's UI or click wheel either - makes my thumb ache lol
