You are closest to the answer
by giantsjoe - 8/24/05 10:12 AM In reply to: iPod photo - it's the best by heatherjeffsWhat makes the iPod such a great insturment isn't the large capacity harddrive (that can be achieved with a laptop), and it's not the fancy color display (I have a 60 GB iPod Photo, and a no display 1 Gig iPod Shuffle), the thing that has me buying all my friends and family iPods is iTunes. It is a cool well written program that gives you total control (or total lack of control when on automatc), over your entire music collection. If there was a MP3 player with as smooth a front end as Apples iTunes, I would buy that.
Bill Gates is right, iPods aren't that great, it's the porgram that manages it that's the real gem.

i have to disagree
by Durfen - 11/25/05 12:16 PM In reply to: iPod photo - it's the best by heatherjeffsThe reason why you said it "has no bad features" is because it has no features! It doesn't play radio, is not drag-and-drop, only works with iTunes, no voice recording...
It has no features! And the sound quality is horrible (i've tried many of them).

Works for me. Keeps everything in one unit.
Camera, Voice Recorder, Spread Sheets, EMail, Word, Music, World News, Dictionary, Books, Drawing tools, Adobe, Reminders, is there anything I have left out?

I use what came with the Palm Zire-72, RealPlayer (But be certain to configure your device for MP3 or it will indicate that it is recording but will not actually be doing so). It is like most programs, just takes a little research and practice. I do recommend using the MP-3 Recorder. biz. This lets you copy any sound that is playing through your computer in several formats.

First of all, all these gadgets are overpriced!
anyway, i have a TDK Mojo CD-MP3 player... it's a portable rock solid black behemoth, was $130 years and years ago... still tickin'... baking and freezing in my car, and it came with nice durable headphones (cd player doesn't work when frozen)
also use my trusty referb toshiba e755, with the flimsy flimsy scroll wheel
Me too, why wasn't it one of the choices?
by HermanMunster - 7/14/05 5:51 PM In reply to: CD Based MP3 players by d2r4Mine's a Panasonic SL-MP36C, about 2 1/2 years old. It's the same size as a typical portable CD player, and plays AudioCD, MP3, WMA, and Ogg Vorbis files on CDR and CDRW discs. Very reliable, and the disc would have to be badly scratched before this thing has a problem with it.
My brother also has a Panasonic CD/MP3 player, but I don't remember which model.
I have two...

I use a Rio S30, upgraded with a 512 MB SD card, for
the gym (it's been solid for 2 years now), and have an old Creative 6 GB Nomad jukebox for the majority of my Mp3's. The Nomad had almost no battery life and is starting to cause problem. I'm in the market for a new large-capacity player.
Rio rocks!
by sploar - 7/12/05 5:05 PM In reply to: I have two... by sp24I have a Rio S10, and it has lasted forever with no problems whatsoever! I've bought maybe 10 mp3 players in my lifetime, and trust me, many of them have failed pretty quickly. Some will break easily (a Pogo mp3 player) if dropped (the S10 has a really effective neoprene case), some just fail (an Ipod Shuffle I just bought a couple months ago). I got to the point all I wanted was one that worked well, held up over time, and hooked into the computer effortlessly and consistently. The hell with the bells and whistles if you have to worry about problems!
S30 is pretty durable, too...
by sp24 - 7/12/05 7:26 PM In reply to: Rio rocks! by sploarI let a kid look at mine; they immediately dropped it.
I had it come apart in my hand, even with its neoprene case on it. I snapped it back together, turned it off and back on and it's worked perfectly.
I have no plans to replace it, but do need a quality
large-capacity player. I don't want to get into the
"Ipod shuffle" (pun intended), because I want to keep the flexibility of using different music formats.
I don't plan to get one

Sirius in my car, on my Dish system, on all 8 computers in the house, and a record collection that dates back to the 50s (all of which are mastered off to tape). So how much music an one listen to in a given day?
How much do you pay in subscription fees?
by audiopainter - 7/12/05 6:35 PM In reply to: I don't plan to get one by kf2nmwith a digital music player, there are not monthly fees....unless you got a Napster player. LOL!

I use a Sony Hi-MD player, mainly for the audio-recording features, like being able to plug in an external mike.
Sony is the king !

Sony Vaio Pocket have the best audio quality and is the first of all capablily show JPEG picture on screen ! When iPod store thousands of song it is impossible to remember what album and artist it belongs even showing the text information. Sony Vaio Pocket use Album picture to remind you the total information of the song you just hearing.
