Going to get the kids MP3 players for X-mas. How much are typical downloads per song?
iTunes will charge you a dollar per song. While subscription services, such as Napster, Rhapsody, or YahooMusic will charge you maybe $5 a month, and you can download as many songs as you want.
personally, i wouldn't use itunes because when you buy the songs, they can only be played on ipods.
We are looking at buying Sandisks
If you are looking at the Sansa's then you should consider rhapsody-to-go and napster-to-go services. Both are easy to use and you would be able to take advantage of the subscribtion based service support on the players. Also realize that the sansa's are designed for easy integration with Media Player 10.
uh, that's not quite accurate about iTunes, they charge you 99 cents per song and about 10 bucks for a cd. After you download from iTunes store, you can use iTunes to convert the AAC files into mp3 files to play on pretty much anything, or burn cds with it. It's a good service to use if you don't mind spending the money for quality service, but if you plan on getting Sandisks, you mite as well go with rhapsody. BTW, yahoo sucks bc they only let you listen to the songs you want for 5 bucks, but it costs 79 cents to download, and they have exactly half the selection of iTunes.
I suggest get either the sandisk sansa e200(4gb)
or creatives v plus(2gb)
the v-plus 2gb about 125.00 alright deal or
the sansa e200 4gb frys got it on sale for 143.00
i suggest get a subscription service like napster
to go it costs 15.00 a month u get unlimeted music downloads,,,
if u get a player made by apple u pay 1.00 per song
i suggest u get one of the players i listed above
also buy your kids a mp3 player from Frys there stuff is usually on sale if u buy before the middle of november.
or go to walmart not as good of a deal but they
got 90 day layaway(yes u can put electronics on layaway at walmart)
