what ipod/mp3 do you have?

[Nadril]

Eh I have an old white 20GB iPod (the obesse ones).

 

 

 

It works fine.

[axeraider70]

 

 

 

So theres an MP3 Player that can play flash videos? Please tell me more. Or did i mis-understand?

 

 

 

Check the iRiver U10, The iRiver U10 has support for flash which is quite a new feature.

 

 

 

Hmm. i looked at it and its not quite what im looking for as its limited to Flash Games made by the iRiver people...

Hm, didn't know that.

 

I'm pretty sure the new E10 does support all flash stuff though. It supports Macromedia Flash Lite 2.0

I have a six gigabyte iPod mini; it's pretty spiffy.

Music, pictures, games and movies. :D

 

mp4 > mp3

Meh, I prefer my sleek tiny iPod nano to a PSP. I don't care much for pictures. Movies are something I watch on TV. (I can't watch them in the car because I would get sick) As for games, I've never been one for handheld games considering they make me mad and I end up breaking the handheld system. (RIP GameBoy Advanced SP)

i have one of those which my daughter has *ahem* borrowed.

 

also a 40bg video one, which is hardly used. couldn't get used to ipods so i abandoned them

 

atm i use my archos 3gb gmini xs100, which i love. fits most of my music on, and its so small and sleek.

 

in hindsight i would've bought the archos video mp3 i saw after the ipod video- oh well :-k :mrgreen:

hehe, i would do the same as your daughter :P

[Mercifull]

 

4th Generation 20GB iPod. Had it a few years now but never had any problems with it :D Only problem is i'm starting to run out of space for the music I want, but it'll be a few more years left before I am pursuaded to get a colour iPod ^_^

[woopidoo2]

Ive got a Black 30GB Ipod Video, just an awesome little machine.

 

Listen to it everyday.

[Azvareth]

i wouldnt get anything else cause well nuthin beats apple products

 

 

 

Wow, I am utterly impressed. Because saying that, you must have tried every mp3-player in the world, right? Otherwise - as in, if you haven't - then you'd qualify for the idiot statement of the week.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway. I have a silver Creative Zen Micro, 5gb. Works brilliant. But I'm starting to run out of space, so I'm probably getting a Creative Zen 20gb or something similar very soon.

Yay, finally someone that doesn't have an iPod.

[weezcake]

I have a 8GB Zen Micro Photo (upgraded from a 6GB Zen Micro). I have 4GB of music, 2GB set as a USB/flash drive, and 2GB free space. Cost me $159 on sale. It's regularly $199, I think.

 

 

 

Did my research and found that the Zen Micro was a much better deal than an iPod nano. It's cheaper, holds more, and reliable. Plus, it fits in my nifty Altoids case.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hehe. I love my case. I get a lot of comments in class about it. :)

Do you happen to be a member of dapreview.net? Because I saw some of those cases there just like yours :)

[weezcake]

Nope. I googled "Zen Micro case" and found instructions. Took me a bit of time (I didn't have the materials to make the case), but I finished it :)

 

 

 

Crafting level +1, creative, and cool. 8-)

[Lionheart_0]

Ummm, its called my computer :lol: .

 

 

 

J/k, i have one, i wear it almost all the time (dosent mean listen to it all the time, obviously computer owns any mp3)

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has 512 internal memory and can hold an extra 512, but i only have a 128 SD card, so i use that. Came with an arm bad to hold whilst joggin, i took off the holder part, and attached it to my belt, so i got tunes on my belt ^.^

[Kwisatz]

Okay, I'm going to clear up some misconceptions.

 

 

 

MP3 is a format of music, just as vinyl and CD are (not really, since MP3 is the digital data medium and vinyl is a physical medium with analog encoding, but for the sake of argument they are). You don't call a turntable a vinyl - you call it a turntable. You don't call a CD player a CD - you call it a CD Player. Similarly, you don't call a device that plays MP3 files an MP3 - an MP3 is what it plays, so you call it an MP3 player.

 

 

 

An iPod IS AN MP3 PLAYER, JUST HOW A MERCEDES IS A KIND OF CAR. They are no different. iPods play MP3, MP3 players play MP3, they are identical. iPod also refers to a brand name, not all mp3 players. I suppose it's like calling all tissues "Kleenex," but still, when discussing $300 investments I think it'd be best to at least make an effort to use proper terminology.

 

 

 

iPods DO NOT LAST THE LONGEST. I know one person who is on their sixth iPod because they can't keep it together. I've had my Zen Vision:M for six months now and only one freeze-up due to the fact that somebody threw it against a table.

 

 

 

iPods ARE NOT THE BEST. The aforementioned Vision:M plays three times as many video formats, has twice the video battery life and a few hours more music battery life than the iPod, all for the same price. Granted you may not like the UI but I don't much like the click wheel due to its lack of alternative navigation buttons and simpler interface. Or, the Zen MicroPhoto - it may be bigger, but other than that it is superior to the nano in every way (except for UI - a matter once again of personal preference) - almost twice the battery life, a removable battery, twice the storage for the SAME PRICE!!!

 

 

 

Or, the iPod shuffle. For a lower price for comparable memories, the Zen Nano has an FM Tuner (depending on the model), a screen, folder organization, tag reading, repeat play, shuffle play, removable battery (AAAs, but then again rechargables are like a dollar apiece), etc. And they still work after going through the washing machine :D (no idea about shuffles with regard to that).

 

 

 

Whenever I say this everyone always fires back !!!!!OMG OMG OMG TEH IPOD UI IS TEH BAETTAR WHER IS THE ROUNDYTHING!!!1 What they fail to realize is that both players' menu and navigational structure is virtually identical, due to the fact that Creative had jukebox MP3 players out before Apple even conceived the iPod and Apple could not come up with anything else - what works, works, nobody blames them for that. But in my observation the iPod is simple - too simple. For instance, I can just use the side menu on the Creative players to change the volume while in menus. I can also assign "add to playlist" to a button, rather than having to hold a button down. I can also select from a 26-letter list and skip to that letter instantly in a list of 200+ artists. For me Creative's players are better in that respect because I'm more used to complex controls - and complexity carries with it a steeper learning curve but effectively a much increased rate of productivity and ease of use.

 

 

 

I don't hate the iPod, it is still a decent product, and I guess you could buy it if you were absolutely bent on getting something a bit (talking a centimeter or two each dimension) smaller or "more stylish," but feature-wise there is no argument between Apple and certain other companies. It also doesn't help that I need to go to school every day with kids who live off of their parents' haphazardly refinanced home equity and overused and underpaid credit card who flaunt their iPods and use them as a tool to ensure their "heightened status" above all others.

 

 

 

People say that Apple must be doing something right if they are market leaders, and they are - they did their marketing and ad targeting right, that's what.

 

 

 

Apologies in the deepest to anybody I offended. Flame me.

[Mercifull]

Blah blah blah BTTFman. Blah blah blah.

 

 

 

Everyone here knows what the dude meant. One of my friends has an iRiver and calls it an iPod, i dont care. Just like people call vaccum cleaners hoovers.

 

 

 

This isnt a topic about whats the best and whats not so just leave it out.

Most vacuum cleaners are the same - they suck dirt. You drop around 75 USD on one. It's not an investment which you bought to entertain you, it cleans. It doesn't need to have exhilirating ergonomics or be loaded with advanced features, it just sucks dirt. However an mp3 player is supposed to be a device which entertains you or does a specific, important job. People don't call all cars Fords or Chevrolets or Mercedes because one is the most popular or the best, and i think it's reasonable to apply such logic to portable devices that are considered a bit on the expensive side that are designed to last and be used extensively. I never said I especially cared, else I would have left out the Kleenex analogy to further my point and used smilies to illustrate my frustration, neither of which I did. The first portion of that statement was directed at people who think that they are somehow different entirely, which I think can be at times is pretentious - "I don't have an mp3 player, I have an iPod." The statements were not meant to address any specific forum user or anything, they were just statements in general, it is rather unfortunate that I didn't make that clear enough.

 

 

 

That aside, I said in my post that I have a Vision:M, and several other people made one-liners about how things are the best, and one person asked for another poster to "share their wisdom." In the spirit of discussion I thought that I would help them out and post some of my ramblings.

Wow, you know one example of an ipod not lasting? And your player has worked for SIX WHOLE MONTHS? That's outstanding, reason enough for no one to ever buy an ipod ever again.

 

 

 

Anyway, I don't think your friend could have been treating his ipod too well - he can't have been very intelligent if he continued to get another 5 after one failed.

[Faux]

I have an iRiver with 256 MB of flash memory but it holds 0 song so it's not really needed. I listen to the radio 100% of the time. It's amazing how durable it is since it came out of its case a couple of times before and hit the pavement while jogging but it still works. And the fact that it uses a double A battery that lasts up to 30+ hours is awesome. Once it runs out, I go to a convenient store, but a new battery and pop it in then voila, music again.

 

 

 

Some of my friends have iPods, most of them just got it because 'everyone else has it'. I'm not too big of being a sheep :wink:

[Icingdeath]

I have a Creative Zen Micro, 5 GB storage.

 

 

 

All iPods should die.

[Faux]

PSP. :)

 

 

 

Music, pictures, games and movies. :D

 

mp4 > mp3

 

 

 

Lol, good job wasting your money on that one :lol:

[Ragen]

I think that my Alba WMA 3MP player is the best so far. I bought it for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20 last year, to last me one holiday as a throwaway kinda thing. I've still got it :D

[azntemplar_00]

I use a cheap nameless 128 mb mp3 player that my dad got for 10 bucks. Apparently, the headphones that came along with it are crappier than the player itself, so after being broken twice and multiple attempts at fixing it (taking it apart, soldering wires back together - can't believe we went out and bought a soldering thing just for that lol), I'm going to get a better set of headphones :P .
