February 22, 200620 yr well i bought a sandisk digital media player 1 gig. and it worked great for about 8 months then the joystick started getting lose, and pointing in the direction of the screen. then a month ago the headphone jack broke (i think) the audio is like realy quiet, and fuzzy sounding. but if i manipulate the cord on my headphones it gets normal, and sence i have it cranked so i can hear it in its weird state, it blows my ears for a little while, so i remove the conector from the port, thus losing all sound. then i turn it down, and plug back in, and it is quiet again. i am going to persuade my parents to let me get an ipod nano 2 gig black, and a bunch of accesorys for it. wish me luck, and please post about what to do with my "old" mp3.
February 22, 200620 yr There's nothing you can do with it, really.. maybe someone could fix it up? You could always try selling it on eBay for cheap (maybe someone would want the parts?) but I don't think anyone would want a semi-broken mp3 player. May I suggest another mp3 player, since it looks like you're looking for an mp3 player that only plays music...? iPod 2gb costs way too much for it's worth, IMO. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
February 22, 200620 yr he said a older one which should be in good condition and work just as good :) The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!! Finally, I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows!
February 22, 200620 yr Author well ebay would work but my parents won't let me sell or buy anything. if you could recomend some alternatet mp3s that have no joystick that would be great. but a backlit screen is nessary. also i would find great use of other featured, like playlists on the device itself, aswell as the ease of control, and smallness. please dont recomend a palm or pda.
February 22, 200620 yr If its less than a year old contact the manufaturer Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

February 23, 200620 yr How much music are you going to be holding? And do you care about accessories and pictures/video? ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
February 23, 200620 yr Author done! i emailed the manufacturer, and asked for a refund, so i can put it tward a nano. if i cant get refund i will sell the new one to my friend for 55 bux.
February 23, 200620 yr You probably wont get a refund, they are more likely to fix it for you. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

February 25, 200620 yr What to do with the "old" one? Simple, give it to your brother! Or cousin, or anyone! LOL Why buy a 2Gb? Buy a 4Gb, you pay less for more Gb's, calculate it.. or just buy a 60Gb Video! Leetness! ~komodo

February 26, 200620 yr I would get a Creative Labs mp3 player. they can turn out some really nice stuff for alot cheaper of a price. And the quality isn't any worse. And if you are going to get an Apple iPod, don't get the nano. Get the new iPod (there is no such think as an "iPod Video" lol). I'm actually suprised at the video (my friend has one). I thought it would suck, but it really is awesome (especially on that 6 hour trip up to Stowe).
February 28, 200620 yr Author well i looked at some creative ones. the zen nano looks flimsy, and has hard looking controls, and the micro is well... fat. seriously it is like between1/4 and 1/2 inch thick. and i do care about accesories. believe me i considered the video( the new ipod) and it can play video on a tv with a $100 accesesory. it is also a hard drive player, which means that it can wear out, and has reduced battery live. it is also like the size of a pda almost. what is wrong with the ipod nano anyway. i was looking on the net, and these people were stress testing it. they ran it over with a ****ing car, and they said that it was still playing. they gave pictures too.
February 28, 200620 yr 1. The iPod (video) is even thicker than the ZM.. The nano is thinner, but taller. :roll: 2. The nano is $249 for 4gb (2gb for $199), when the Zen Photo is $249 for 8gb (ZM 6gb for $199). They both show pictures, if that's what you wanted.. If you really need those videos and pictures on your mp3 players.. and if you need those (IMO, overpriced) accessories, then get an iPod. If you just need something that plays music (which looks like the case, since you had a 1gb player), then get a Creative. Zen Micros give you more storage for a $200ish player. I've done my research and I don't believe the nano is worth it. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

Well, in some cases paying less or paying more IS the solution! and as you said paying less for more is more economical! In the case: Well, maybe, if you really want to spend $700, and you have them, why not?
March 2, 200620 yr Author well the ipod the zen the photo are well FFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! so i dont like them. where do you get the creative photo

March 2, 200620 yr KInd of depends on what you'll be doing with it too. I'm shopping for a new one right now which I'll be using a lot at the gym. therefore, I'm leaning towards a flash based one vs. hd. The jury is still out though. I'm looking around for folks who have worked out with hd players to find out if they have problems skpping. Looks like I'll be getting a Creative for sure, whichever type i decide on. Ipod thought of everything except an fm tuner. duh :roll: jfroggy
March 3, 200620 yr Author The creative IS the zen :-/ no dip sherlock. but photo would be nice, and cases are good so that the death of my sandisk DAP won't be in vain. and the new ipod is so expencive. i know the 2gb nano, and accesories is $300 too but that includes an extended warranty, and a bunch of accesorys. like a case. the 4 gb is starting to win over the 2gb model. nano i mean.
March 3, 200620 yr If, like you say, you want accesseries, then buy an ipod. But personally i'd get a better player, rather than a flash cover. I'd buy a zen microphoto in your case, creative players are great, I've had a micro and have a vision:m on the way :). The microphoto's OLED screen is particually nice :).
March 3, 200620 yr ZM fits in an altoids case also. :wink: ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
March 3, 200620 yr Author ZM fits in an altoids case also. :wink: why would i put an mp3 player in an altoids can. and i might just go with a zen micro, but is the UI user friendly?
March 3, 200620 yr I'll admit, for ease of interface, the ipod is probably better. But after a couple of hours/days you'll be used to the zen, and once you are used to it, it's easy enough to navigate
March 4, 200620 yr ZM fits in an altoids case also. :wink: why would i put an mp3 player in an altoids can. and i might just go with a zen micro, but is the UI user friendly? Why? So you don't have to spend $20-$30 on a case! This is mine. It's only half finished because I don't have all the materials to finish it. I've gotten compliments and "cool"s from people though! The user interface takes a little getting used to; you'll probably be pushing the touchpad and selecting things when you don't want to, but you'll get used to it after using it for a bit. Very easy, but it takes a little adjustment time. :) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
March 6, 200620 yr Author ok this might be extreme but are there any creatives with video? and does your thumb hurt after moving from the top to the bottom or vica versa?
March 6, 200620 yr Author well the zen vison won!!!!! do you know where i could get an extra battery. Circuit city doesnt carry it lol
