Topic: MP3 Player Help Needed!

[VulturEMaN]

I've had decent fun with my creative products as long as you update the firmware when u get it.

I just think that 60gb is nicer to tote around than a 5gb small one. smallness doesn't matter much to me. It just means that i need bigger pockets

Eh, at this point I have more music than any player sold can hold.  So holding my favorite stuff in an easily pocketable design is convenient.

I only have 7gig of music, but like 40gig of dvds/videos/random clips

2gb iPod nano. $200. Or find an 6gb Rio Carbon for less than that. (I have a 5gb one that I bought for $130 a while ago) Both are absurdly small, though the nano is smaller. It's a trade off. Color screen and smaller, or 3x more space.

Stay away from Sony mp3 products, because they require using Sony SonicStage, which is like pouring hydrochloric acid and needles into your pants.

I personally dislike Creative's products, they tend to have a lot of reliability issues.

Edit: I noticed you listed having it look cool as a requirement. In that case, I recommend heading directly for the nano. I've never been an Apple fan or an iPod fan, but the product design is undoubtedly sexy

Again, I live in Canada. Here it costs 250 dollars, so I cant buy it. I have about 100 songs that I like, so 512 MB is good for me, and I dont collect music at a fast rate.

get the nicest looking 1gig player up in canada.

get that adapter thing for your car.

it'll be like 150$.

Just goto a couple tech places and ask workers what their preference is. most'll say apple, but decide beforehand whether you'll get an apple product or not.

To clear this up, i am NOT getting an apple MP3 player. Its to expensive.

Is an Ipod as good as its hyped up to be?

Mmhmm. I have a Sony Mini Disc player. Sonic Stage is absolutely horrid.

2nds that....had it for my cd player...advertized to put 480 songs on one cd, but they didn't tell you it was at 64kb quality....yuck...all my stuff is at 320

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. The advertisement for mine said it could fit 5 to 6 hours, yet I could only fit 2 hours.
