what should I get? All my friends have ipods, but i also hear there is better options. Any helpful suggestions? Thanks!

don't fuckin buy an ipod, christ almighty

buy something just as useful that costs half as much

iriver

yes sir brinstar thats what im planning, and why im asking. What is a inver yo

I've got a Creative Zen Touch. I like it. The touch pad is tricky at first but once you get the hang of it you can fly through selections. I like the way it's setup. I can't remember if mines 20 gig or 30 gig but I don't use half of either, and it was about $200.

will be looking into these, thx sirs

I have a creative zen micro... Before that I have had like 8 other MP3 players... All broke or sucked so much balls I was forced to conjure lightning and destroy them. I also had TWO Ipod shuffles both broke... They sucked worse than anything. Luckily crApple gave me my money back.

The Creative Zen Micro is hands down the best one I have had yet. It's the only one where the fucking software is easy to use and actually works instantly. The size, battery life and sound quality are all top notch. I also like the lights... I think they put some radioactive plutonium inside so that is glows. For the money you can't do better either.

My recommendation is to buy one from Best Buy with their spiffy upgraded warranty... They have a warranty where if you have any problems with it you can literally walk into the store and walk out with a new one... Also the warranty allows you to upgrade to the next best version for like two years.

sweet yo, will check into that one too, sounds interesting. Im just tired of walking across campus and seeing 9 out of 10 people with a damn ipod

Ipod's are for ultra-trendy bisexual emo posheurs who listen to the smiths while taking short breaks to suck cock.

Ok, I'm going to go buy an ipod.

That's the other thing about the Creatives. Battery life is extremely good. My Touch is 24 hours, I think the micro is 16?

I've got an RCA lyra 2780

it plays video as well as music

it's a fair bit bigger than most of the little flash mp3 players, but it's 20g (or put whatever laptop drive into it you want) and movies look pretty good on it

get a dell dj ditty.

so that way you can walk up to weemens and say to them
"want to touch my ditty"?

the only thing ralf that i didnt dig too too much about the micro you mentioned was that it can only be bought in 6g storage, unless I read it wrong

you can swap out the HD on that?

You can swap out the HD on pretty much anything, depending on whether you can solder or not.

Also, please buy MP3 players with HD's, and not flash memory. In fact, any consumer electronic, choose HD over Flash. Thanks!

sure
I know a dude that's put 100gb drive in his

I'd rather have a big ass flash drive, but until 20gb cards are cheap, i'm happy with this

They have flash over 10 gig now?

they actually have 20gb flash cards? I haven't seen any over 2, but I haven't gone looking. My little brother had an older mp3 player that you could use actual flash cards (rather than built in flash memory), are there any like that? I know of new recording devices though by marantz, edirol and m-audio that take flash cards. cool things.

samsung makes 16gb cards, with the capability to make 32gb flash

not commercially available yet, but coming soon~

Well that certainly sucks for me hehe. There goes the 1" HD market.

i'm getting a minidisc player ^_^

Rio makes a flash mp3 player that uses cards, in addition to the internal flash, which I might get for snowboarding.

Rio also makes a 20 GB HD player, which I have and would also recommend.

haha nm i found it

and also: i think i'm looking into the zen micro that ralf recommends so highly. 230$ isn't bad for 8gb, and that won't be too far out of my price range by july.
