Community weekly poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player?
- 7/11/05 10:28 AM
my nomad jukebox extra will only playback in "slow motion"
by anniegal2000 - 6/13/08 11:50 PM In reply to: Creative Nomad Zen Extra by Midge642I bought it on craigslist and have tried everything I can think of --changing all the settings, but I'm either doing something wrong or I bought a lemon. The music/voice will only play in much slower than normal speed.
I've tried adjusting the EAX Audio time-scale setting to 1.50, but it won't speed-up enough to listen at a normal speed. I tried many times on various settings with a CD I ripped and also an audio book, and neither works.
I also seem to have some trouble with downloading the installation CD - but I can try that again.

I use a combo portable CD-CD MP3 player that I cut on my puter as my personal MP3 player, and can play that format on my puter and DVD player as well.
question about my iPod-any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I got it 4 years ago as a premium from an on-line e-tailer for placing a big order. I LOVE IT! It's small, light & EASY to use. I'll be VERY upset if it ever dies... I doubt I can find anything to really replace it...
Hard Drive- Sony Beats iPod No Prob!

I have a sony NW-HD5. It's got better sound, a more durable body, and it costs less than the iPod. If you want to listen to music get a sony. If you want to look at pictures on a tiny screen, have hardware problems, and spend all the extra $$$ to do so, then hey, go for the ipod.

You Forgot about CD Players

I have at least three different CD players that play MP3s just fine thank you. My favorite is the one in the car that will hold up to ten disks. Both of my DVD players, as well as the Karaoke machine in my classroom, will play MP3s if I want them to. The main disadvantage with an MP3 however, is that it is hard to manipulate outside of the computer environment. I can fast forward or reverse with a Wave file, and basically all I can do with an MP3 is listen. If I wasnt to explore the song a little, change the key, slow it down to catch a riff or an obscure line, or even isolate a phrase, MP3 is not the way to go. Oddly enough, I can do most of these things sitting at my computer, so if they ever make an MP3 player that is as flexible as a computer player, I might gain a bit of interest I suppose.

Just what I need a cell phone and MP3 player in the car. Better update the last will and testament.
Would like to download books, not music

I'd like to get some sort of portable device to carry along while out walking the dog, or on car trips, or while working around the house. The question is what device is appropriate and how much memory do I need for two or three titles and perhaps some language lessons?
I've read that an ipod cannot be used for books. (But my DH has an ipod loaded with language lessons, that, to me, are the same as books.) Is this true? I've read that Creative MP 3 players are recommended for books. Any confirmation?
Any chance that Japanese type manga will become available for download? In which case I'd need a good screen.
MY PDA

Well I am using currently my PDA which is I-Mate PDA2K. With the usage of external memory, everything works well. But planning 2 get the new I-pod..
Creative mp3 players are 1337!

Not as cool as an iPod, but a fraction of the price! I have a 256mb Creative MuVo. It's smaller than a Nano, and is a USB flash drive, so I can use it for file storage too. The interface is pretty good, and the included software is easy to use (it's also compatible w/ iTunes, which I use anyway).
Only problem is track arrangement, which is automatically sorted alphanumerically - unless the tracks are already arranged by number, they get out of order and I have to go back and rename my song files (i.e., 01 song.mp3 as opposed to song.mp3) so I can listen to them in order. There is a shuffle feature, but it doesn't support playlists.
But aside from that, it's great. Holds about 3 1/2 to 4 high-quality mode CD's, about the size of a bic lighter, and only cost about $60.
More stuff to carry around...

It's an excellent player with great sound and easy to use. I would not recommend players made by that co.,they never respond to tech. support questions. If you grasp things easily as I, then buy one, if not, other units have reliable support.

What device do I use?
by remarquee - 2/19/06 4:10 PM In reply to: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Marc Bennett
Marc,
I only use the Palm Zire-72.
It simply does everything. MP3. WAV. etc. You only need the software. Most is simply on the internet from a simple search and download.
