MP3 players again

Asked before and ended up getting the 15meg iPod for #1 son about 18mths ago. MORE than happy with it. Not cheap but a REALLY nice piece of electronics. Now it is #2s turn. Went and had a look and saw the 20meg version but also saw * Creative 20meg * Samsung 20meg Both about the same price but basically have extra features over the iPod * longer lasting battery * FM radio * standard case On the down side you loose * VAST range of add ons (yeah at extra $$$) * Street cred Anyone have one of those 2?? Had a look at heaps but basically i want 20meg. I have filled 3meg REALLY easy here at work with just the stuff i listen to. Barry

actually, they do :P mine came with a case anyhoo... still went out and bought a nice cushy crumpler case for it tho :P

in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Arrrrhhh

Creative Zen.. Now it was starting to play up a bit, like not powering up, I reformatted the drive as Creative said. re uploaded my sounds, only it to happen again, now very frustrated I returned to DSE, they were very helpful and offered a replacement, I refused the Zen, the fella agreed and said he had 3 returned in the last week, it is a known issue with the Zen!

so no I eat my words don't get a Zen

I now have a I-River 320, was a bit more cash but the features are great, only thing is you need a scholarship to work out how to use the bloody thing, I am sure it will come in time.

will keep you updated..

That happened with my brand new Apple too... Can I just say you only get the very bare essentials with the iPod whereas the Creative apparently comes with a whole heap of accessories!

If I go the mp3 cd burning route I discussed earlier then there is the pITA of doing it, plus I need to buy another cd player that will play mp3. apparently CD players with USB ports dont exist. There is one out there with an SD card reader though...errr... So theres a good patent for ya. CD players iwth a USB port would selll.

So I am back to mp3 players with an fm transmitter but the guy at the stereo shop says that the sound through them isnt good. Is this true or was he trying to sell me an another cd player?

I read the article Amazer sent me and have ended up with the iPod 20 Gig photo.

The HIGHLY recomended ones were only 5 meg and i want a bit more than that.

The next recomended were the little iPod mini and the 60 Gig Photo.
they didnt recomend the 20GB as it did not have the photo features.

Now the new one is out and it does.

Wasnt happy with the controls of some of the others, the Creative didnt have photo and for the same $$$ i went Apple over Samsung

Anyway.... that is what i did.

Thanks for all the feed back.
I can sleep happily I have made an informed decision for once 🤓
