I am looking for an Mp3 player but I have no clue what to look for.

Any suggestions on Mp3's that are working out good for you?

What should I look for?

 

I have a Creative Vision M.... No regrets

 

I have a samsung that I couldnt be more pleased with. 5 gig for the price size and features of it made it great buy.

 

Sansa model?

Thx for your replies.

 

YH-820

It's going for about $100-120 on Ebay right now. 5gb with internal rechargable battery, color screen and can hold and display photographs.

 

iPod video 30g works great for me.

 

Food for thought: Apple's World Wide Developers Conference is August 7-11. There's a slim possibility The Steve may announce some new iPod models there.

 

They are running behind...don't expect a next gen iPod video until late this year or early next...however a large nano may debut.

 

thx for the FYI

 

That happens to be exactly what I'm hoping for. I currently have a 6GB mini so an 8GB Nano would be awfully tempting.

 

60gig iPod > *

Pricey but you can put a lot more than just music on it.

 

dang. my 30g Ipod video works just fine... its real people friendly...

 

I just sat on my video screen... Get a HARD case for it, I am going to bitch to bestbuy sometime soon(they replaced my 3g with a 5g when I told them I was having battery trouble ).

how much music do you have? What do you intend on using it for?

 

I want to use it during workouts. It would also be nice if it could some pictures and video.

I have about 1000-3000 songs but i don't intend to put all my music in the MP3.

I've seen some creative models that I really like but they're bulky and I always see the Creative brand refurbished at Fry's.

 

Creative Zen Nano is good for workouts and is only $50 at Circuit City... then you could get a high end mp3 player, like a 30GB ipod for the rest, or just get the ipod

 

1gb Nano for jogging (if you are running you might want a flash based drive)
Rio Carbon for everyday shit (I can fit more then enough music on 5 gigs)

Ipod vid is tempting but I can't see really needing unless you have a lot of down time away from home.

 

Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB Multimedia Player (Aluminum/White)


Amazon has this one for $180. I am thinking about getting this one for personal.. and this one for jogging

 

What the...

Now where did I put that BestBuy receipt for my 2G?

btw...another vote for an iPod.

Been using them forever (2G 10 GB/Shuffle 512MB/5G 30 GB). Couldn't be more pleased with the new ones. Defintely get a hard case. Agent18 cases are pretty good.

If you're only gonna be using it for exercising, get a nano. Otherwise, I'd go with a video.

Edit:
This is in comparison to the other mp3 players I've owned:
Diamond Rio MP500 (1st mp3 player evar! Bought it after Diamond won the court case. )
Creative Nomad II

 

That 30 buck replacement plan. I said, he guys, my battery isn't holding a charge. BOOM, mail it in, 2 weeks later 315 dollar waver... Ipod video. Anyway, now my screen is broken, so I gotta bitch some more.

I was reading reviews of audio quality in some magazine, and Ipod Nano was second for its "group," but came first in functionality, looks, etc.

I'm in the same boat. I just got a BMW, I did not opt for the cd changer, so I have a single disc cd/mp3 player in dash. I was thinking about just getting an ipod, putting all of my car CD's on it and leaving it in the car the whole time so we don't have to fiddle with the discs. Not sure what to get, was thinking to just get a nano and call it a day. I'm going to be getting a "DIce" Ipod integration kit for the car, it allows full compatibility with the stereo controls and display, as well as the steering wheel controls (Click)

So I guess Nano is the winner? Also, any suggestions on where to get them cheap? eBay?

 

Just walk into the apple store and tell them you're a student. 10% off.

 

You have to show them proof...

 

i got this one from circuit city on sale for $137 a few months ago..2gigs and its expandable via mini-sd...displays photos and does videos...got a set of better headphones and its great so far...

 

All you need is your old college ID card. They don't even care if its expired. I used my medical school ID card. They couldn't find it in the system so they just put it in by hand.

 

Ipod hands down plus you can put linux on it and play gameboy.

 

That one looks sweet. I was thinking about that one.

 

Execellent. Im waiting on something to supplement my Mini.

 

I've been more then happy with my 4 gig Ipod Nano. It holds enough music for 4 days of 24 hour use. It's really small. It's simple to use. It replaced my old school Sony CD diskman.
I have no need for anything bigger, or the need for pic & video's.

 

I bought a 30gb ipod tonight. Tried using my wife's college ID, but their promo for 10% off an ipod is done. The new promo is, college kids buy a mac, get a nano for free....

 

You can still get the student discount. If you do it online they dont even check anything. Just look for the education store and order it from there. 10% off and no hassle.

 

M$ is apparently according to industry insiders will debut a "wireless" portable media player by Christmas. M$ will now try to competet with Apple.

 

I checked everywhere....I'm telling you, not anymore...I asked about it too, they said it expired a few weeks ago..

If I may try and be some help.

When you go to www.apple.com and click on store go to the bottom right corner or the side bars. You should see "Education." This will take you to the page where you can access the Education Discount.

What you are looking is the Back to School special for students.

 

the sansa e200 series is one of the best out there. look at cnet's review of it, they loved it. It goes up to 6 gigs.

 

Supposedly this is it...or it will look VERY close to this.

Alleged that it will be wireless, 4:3 aspect ratio screen (roughly 3.5 inches wide), will play music, videos, & games....and to top it off it will fully integrate into the Xbox 360.

Microsoft is supposed to also launch their own version of an "iTunes" type media store/software.
