Mine got stolen on tuesday and I'm looking for a nice, but not too expensive one. Anyone have any suggestions?
I bought a 30 Gig MS Zune (first generation) for Christmas

- Black, $190

- White, $180

- Brown, $175
He likes it a lot...I played with it a bit and I liked it too.
Looks sweet. (Y)
I have a close friend that has one of them and used it and loved it but never thought about buying one.
ipod fellow!
only thing i will buy from apple
Over priced imo.
iPod has tons of limitations + is way overpriced. I have an iPod Clip or whatever because it's great for working out - but beyond that there aren't many great reasons to buy one, except the aftermarket products (which the Zune is competitive with).
If you slander ipod because its bought alot, you can probably be certain not to take certain peoples advice. Me on the other hand, am a brand freak, and tech spec
I love audio!
Zunes, basically have alot of features but tend to get alot of bugs and twerks in them. They arent significant no, but still bothersome
Ipods, people hate them cause they are popular, i've had my ipod for 2 years now and since im not a idiot, its never broke and its really well taken care of, proves the point of what i want, To listen to music and thats it.
Toshiba gigabeats, pretty damn decent mp3 player, They are good eyecandy since toshiba makes cameras, computers, etc.
Irivers are very expensive because they are manufactured well but really small.
Creative's, Pretty good mp3, i'd recommend one of them since they were first a sound card company, and now deal with multiple audio devices. My zen has amazing sound quality.
sansa, Basically a very nice little mp3, with changeable sandisc's. Therefore you can get yourself a cheaper mp3 player and then upgrade it later.
Archos, Pretty damn expensive ones, but they have a few cheaper one, they are into the "big" everything with every feature you can have.
Samsungs are coming out with their new bluetooth one which is supposed to be figured out soon, other then that, they have a few good ones.
Other brands that are decent : Sony, RCA, Phillips.
Thats all i can think of right now, but i heard theres a brand called XOvision, i haven't checked them out but if you want too thats cool (y)
Btw, I own a RCA, a zune, a ipod, and a creative zen.
I've owned a sandisk but it was stolen. Good luck!
Let me have the RCA. *mothQuote:

I got the iPod Shuffle for running - it rocks.
IMO the Zune is the best deal you can get right now. I looked at iPods and Creatives when buying one for my brother...but for the features + storage capacity you get between then, Zune was by far the cheapest I found.
On a separate note, I damn near bought an Archos - it's basically a fucking brick with every feature you'd ever want - but in the end I listened to my rational side and realized I would just get all those features on a laptop anyways (been thinking about getting this one today) and I have a Palm that does a lot of the phone stuff.
(speaking phones - fucking stoked about getting the Google Android platform by the end of the year!)
We bought an Archso 160gb uhh no clue what it's called since my dad got it. But it's fucking sweet. Has a 4.5" screen or so on it, touchscreen navigation, and the main reason I like it is because you can put a fuckton of data on it--mainly movies for me, so I can download them, not have to worry about burning DVD's and be watching them on my TV in less than two minutes.
Damn those Archos look like a great deal.Quote:

Yeah I can't stand that, that's why I hook it up to a TV and watch them through that. It also has a remote control that is $$.Quote:

will you buy me an mp3 player too? :(
Only if I was a millionaire MOP. :(
You're rich enough to buy a zune on the fly, that's fine with me sir.Quote:

And creative; good deal man, I thought you were like "LOL STOLEN TIME 2 BUY A NEW ONE MOM!" cbf!
^ haa. My mom doesn't help me buy things like that. I'm on "restriction" from getting a new mp3 player/phone anyway. My phone/mp3 was stolen right out of my backpack (which was my fault and don't blame anyone but myself). I'm pretty sure I knew who it was but I couldn't really do anything. I'm definitely not going to start a fight with a Fellow, and a Fellow who has friends that can kick my ass. :L
If you know anyone who works at GameStop they can get a Zune for half price for the next week. If you don't then you can probably find every GameStop employee selling them on eBay for a discounted price.
^ I'll look on ebay then.
The Zen is pretty fucking sweet TBH. I wish I had one.
As of now I just put a 4GB micro SD card in my phone and listen to music off of that. The quality and everything is great, but I need a shit ton more space to fit all of my music.
how badly does that run down your phone bat didlez?
Buying a player over $100 for anything less than 10GB of storage is just retarded these days.
I need to get a micro SD card for my phone, does anyone know some prices? Didlz can you steal on for me?
lol^ ill steal 1
I don't think flash drives, PC memory, GPS navigation, or LCD montiors are going to help in this thread.
I like the huge glowing arrow Acro...
If you (Spyder) risk 15minutes of loading time, you will get on a site with mp3 players at TigerDirect.com
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...name=MP3-Audio
I check this forum at work (where I have broadband)
Dunno acro, I don't see how teal arrows with a purple glow are going to save this discussion of MP3's atm.
