MP3 players forum: Poll: Do you have an MP3 player?

Yes, the first MP3 player i ever owned was a Creative Zen Vision: M. It was 30GB and awesome!! I like it a lot!!!! Soon though, I upgraded to a first-gen iPod touch and was my first ever iPod from Apple. I never really liked the iPods with the click-wheel. Which is why I never owned one. Soon after the touch, I got a new phone, the iPhone 3G. And am with it ever since. I still own my Zen though. Never plan on letting it go.

Zune 80GB black
Sony Walkman 8GB something
and Sony Ericsson w760a
Each has different uses. Zune if I want everything at once. The Sony Walkman for exercising. The Sony Ericsson for not wanting to carry anything else and don't want to switch between music and calls. I will never ever go back to an iPod. Went through 3 and after converting to Sony and Zune won't go back. The Sony Ericsson doesn't have that much memory (512mb) so I reserve it for going through school or if I want to listen to a handful of songs over and over again.

I was actually insane enough to name my iPod. :P Oh well.
The middle button is getting a bit loose, probably after too many games of Klondike. Doesn't matter, though. So far I'm loving it.

I have a Fuze and its great

I would also like a Zune120 and 80

Sansa M200 -.5G
Sansa M250 - 2G
Sansa E280 - 4G plus an 8G card
Creative Labs Nomad Extra - 30G
Creative Labs Zen Vision M - 30G

Love them all ...no problems....just lucky I guess

PS the cheap M200 series has a great FM

Guess the best player available in Market - COWON D2

My friends at school all had iPods, so I was kinda of sick of them and decided to get a Zune instead. I'm happy with it because it's different and at the same time provides the same functionality of an iPod

I have a few ipods and non ipods.
1st, 3rd Gen Nano (1gb and 8gb)
1st Gen ipod Touch,

Panasonic SV-SD750v
Sony MZ- N707 (Mini disc but in mp3/aac format)

Was using my SonyE as mp3 player for a moment (SE W880i).

Each of them are good in some ways, though for me, non ipod players (especially the panasonic and sonyE) have the best bass (to me if it's heavy enough) as the ipods are still weak in it and that's using the same headphones throughout each of them.

3rd Gen Nano's software seems weird as if I have songs of almost full to 80%, it never remember's the previous selection after selecting it to play.

1st Gen ipod Touch, not very good experience for me as I consistently have hardware failure for the replacement set due to either battery losing charge suddenly overnight, PCB board failure, earphone jack 'damaged' despite being well looked after. Sadly, it's the only player (and more so the only technical hardware) that failed me in less than 8months (shortest only 2months).

All ipods for me, songs in the playlist can never be sorted alphabetically (which is annoying), be it artist or song title, even though, of course, iTunes has it looked sorted.

Bought a Creative Zen Vision M 30 g when they first hit the market - I was in LOVE. Used it constantly - listening to books mostly, but had playlists that were also well-worn. I don't like earbuds - have enough trouble with tinnitus; with earbuds in I can't hear surrounding noise. Have a good headphone set that works well, but most of the time I plug the Zen into a Logitech mm28 speaker. (Hubby thought I was crazy until he listened to it) When driving, I don't use headphones - the Logitech is perfect, and no fiddling with the radio.
Zen was less than 2 yrs old when it went black - never to work again. I contacted Creative, they wanted to look at it, so I sent it back. They sent me a refurb to replace it - and it too just died last month. No warning, no clues that it is going to crap out.

So I'm looking for a replacement. Do I want to stay with Creative? I think so - I'm comfortable with the software (mostly). Don't like the 'exclusive' aspects of either Apple or Microsoft products.
Time will tell....

When I was running E500/SE530s, I used to run with any number of headphone amps that I own but in the end the hassle and added bulk wasn't really worth it. In their day the SE530 was a great performer in its own right connected straight to the DAP or PMP. However, since stepping up to the Sennheiser IE-8, my poor Shure set is virtually unlistenable. Really hate when that sort of thing happens, but such is the way of high-fidelity...

As I had hoped, I finally got my new iPod Touch the other day and am so in love with every aspect of it.
My husband is jealous, having a black Nano. But I felt I deserved a Mother's Day/birthday gift and was going to get jewelry, but this seemed more "usable" and "fun".
My grandson will get my red Nano I no longer need.
So far I've downloaded 12 free apps which I love playing with. Although most will be important helpers - like AAA, flashlight, tip chart, global weather, compass, AOL Radio, etc. my favorite (which is the best stress buster by far) is "Fluid".
As long as I'm in WiFi areas, I can see and send mail, go on www, shop on-line.
Oh, and at Target, I got a $25 gift card along with the iPod Touch.
Yep! There is a heaven, and I'm already in it.

and I love it. its so awesome, especially if you have the zunepass.

it sounds better than most of their other stuff? I always found their equipment very stylish, but generally overpriced.

"how do you like the Zune?"
---------------------------------

Well, as my Zunes are both first gen models, they are getting a little long in the tooth, and can't really compare to something as versatile as the iPod Touch, in many respects.

That being said, I believe even the first gen Zunes have sound quality superior to any iPod. The video experience is also superior to most iPods, in my opinion. Haven't experienced video on the iPod Touch, so can't say which is better between those two.

The first gen Zunes ARE very "bricky" in appearance, nowhere as sleek as any iPod. But they are built very sturdily, and not prone to all the scratching iPods seem prone to. I also prefer the Zune GUI over the iPod's. Same goes with the software. I really dislike iTunes. But we all have our own preferences.

As much as I like my Archos 5, despite its minor issues, I won't be jumping to get a new Archos player with Android. As the Archos 5 turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment for most people for half realized promises made by Archos, I will wait a good long time for things to shake out with the Archos Android players before I decide to invest in one. The lack of available simple replacement parts (such as a speaker) for Archos players is also somewhat frustrating, as well as their lousy customer support. Leave it to the French.

I too am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Zune HD. But I actually would prefer something with more storage capacity. I already have players with limited capacity, so for me it's pointless to "upgrade" to something with the same or less storage space than I already have.
