Looking for portable MP3 player
 

Im thinking about getting an MP3 player and I know some of you guys (Jibber) have one. The Ipod looks good, but i wanted to know what else is out there. Any suggestions?

Creative Labs nomad zen is what i got.

what price range you lookin at

around $250, but im willing to pay for more. Any of these have radio tuners on them? Its not that important, but its a bonus that i would like.

i just got a minidisc player. for the price it was great.. i mean im never going to need a 20 gig mp3 player. my minidisc holds about 50 songs, and you can delete/add songs up to a million times. 170 canadian, and you can get one with an FM tuner for 30 bucks more. And its only 1 AA battery, get about 40-50 hours of listening time

40-50 hours, thats alot. is that all it runs on, one AA battery? mini disc, that means it runs on some kind of CD right? im looking for something w/o cds or tapes, i just wanna upload/download songs via usb from my pc to the device. ill look at the nomad zen and the ipod, but i dont think the ipod has an am/fm tuner, does it? thanks for the help guys, are there any other ideas?

damn, the zen looks sexy, thanks milla.

Ipod man, all the shit you dont need, but if you want it its there

Plus about 5000 song carrarying capacity is enough to blow your mind.

I concur. Ipod is the way to go.


If not iPod, then the iRiver HP-120. Anything less = crap

I'm still rockin' my 6GB Nomad Jukebox. Works great. If I were to buy a new one, I'd go with the Zen or the iPod.

The only reason I put the iPod second is because it looks like a case for tampons or something. Too 14-year-old-girly.

It's really sexy in it's leather holder. Lot better than the hard drive with an LCD called Zen. biggrin:

The U2 iPod makes me wanna vomit. Fuck I hate U2.

dude its a beautiful day

its the same with an MD player. but theres an advantage cause you can get like 10 MD disks for about $20. each disk i have has 74 min.

same, but i like the commercial.

Don't get it cuz of the band, i would just get it because of the colors.

I agree

iriver is your best bet if you have the cash, i have first hand used all three major "HD" mp3 players and i would rank them
Iriver(more xpensive, not as much storage, but kicks serious ass)
Creative Zen (cheap, and more storage for less )
IPOD(overpriced, nothing special, and homolooking, plus if you buy one your nerd friends will tell you youve sold out)

iPods are the same price as the iRiver variants, even a little cheaper, but the iPods are sexier, have better controls, and better sound quality.

Plus games!





Yes, I like the white look of the iPod better than the black of the HP-120.
