MP3 Players

by wheelzup - 12/1/07 9:57 AM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I have a 30GB Creative Zen Vision M and love it. The darn thing is pretty tough, (dropped it on concrete) sounds great, the FM tuner works surprisingly well, and the battery will allow me to play music all night without kicking the bucket.

I use the Sansa E250. It is great. I do not like the Ipod.

Why should some need a flash MO3?

by Themisive - 12/1/07 2:27 PM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

Basically, what music I DO have - quite a lot - is either on CD or Vinyl, I don't always want music on (and certainly not what's called "music" today). Most of the stuff I have is either brass or pipe band or even classical music, believe it or not I even have some jazz.

I once saw a comment on today's "music" and "dancing" the comment was "nightly epilepsy to music", I think that sums it up.

As far as getting an MP3 player or something similar to listen to my music on the way home, no thanks, I DO NOT WANT that sort of thing, I prefer to wind down myself. I will not deny that I have listened to music (my sort) when I'm travelling, but certainly NOT on the way home from work!

The present "idea" of a flash MP3 is just another gimmick, and bound to be overly expensive. If you want music (any style) you don't need these, just some common sense.

FLASH B&O

by jbisbal - 12/1/07 3:55 PM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I have the Bang & Olufsen MP3/WMA player. The best sound in the world, the only problem is that it has no screen so you must group the songs very well in order to find them. It supports SD cards, you can fit around 3000 songs at 64 kbps on a 4 GB card. You can download their player from their website it is very elegant and useful to manage the music and pictures.
They will sell a new MP3 player at the end of the year with a screen, go to see it when it's out.
I also sometimes use my BlackBerry curve with a mini SD card but the sound of the B&O is too good to be replaced.

What do I currently use as a portable MP3 player?: Other!

by SBHollingsworth - 12/1/07 6:19 PM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I really wish someone had thought to put MP3- (and WMA-) compatible portable CD players into the choices. I bought a RIO Volt a few years ago and it does everything I need. I can take dozens of hours of music and books on a couple of CD-RWs. It's portable and it plays MP3s. What am I missing?

What type of device do you currently use as a portable ....,

by Jimmy The Lip - 12/2/07 4:23 AM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I use an iPod, it's by far the best. It is my bulk digital photo holder when it's not being used to listen to talking books in my truck. It's a 60 gig player, it will holds more songs, books, and pics than I have time to listen too and or look at.

It may cost more but it's cheaper by far in the long run. It's like having a small computer in your pocket. I have never questioned my self about the cost. Then again I have never questioned myself after I bought my iMac either, from which I listen to iTunes.

A little bit unpractical ...

to do your long-distance running (for example) with a laptop to listen to mp3's to distract you.

I Don't Plan to Get One

by prince10bee - 12/2/07 10:48 AM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I don't need my music that badly. It's not worth it for the price. I just listed on my PC. I also don't like them becasue they put you in a different world and you have a harder time of knowing whats around you.

I have recently bought i-mate PDAL as my PDA Device for meeting all my needs. It is powered by Windows Mobile 5 operating system. It has a very good synchronisation with the PC and everything is so descriptive and easy to use.

Planning on buying an MP3 player

by margsi2 - 12/2/07 7:08 PM In reply to: Poll: What type of device do you use as a portable MP3 player? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I have been looking at all the different brands and capacities that are available. My biggest question is how often would I use it. I don't necessarily need an IPod, but I am liking the IPod shuffle more and more. I like the sizes and colors they come in, but I would like to use a secure digital disk for recording and listening to carry various types of music on each disk. Then, I like the size of the Shuffle because it weighs next to nothing and i can carry it easily, even on an arm band or clip it on my shirt or belt. I really just need to try one out to see if it would stick for me, rather than just become another piece of pc compatible equipment on the shelf.
Currently I am using Windows Media Player on my pc and a small boom box with am/fm radio, cd player and tape player, which is not as portable as i would like.
