Terpentintollwut Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 There's mp3 players with a line-in function, you can use an external mic and record. I find this quite handy. Mine only has 2 GB's but I wouldn't want to miss this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I recently got an ipod classic (160 gb) to replace my creative zen xtra, which had a malfunctioning scroll button and laughable battery life (might have needed replacing). it's great so far. the only annoying part is having to convert my flacs to apple lossless.

plisb Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 cowon j3, best out there no doubt finding out about this new release from cowon is definitely the best tech news of the year so far http://www.slashgear.com/cowon-j3-amoled-pmp-gets-official-2979451/ I look for: battery life sturdy physical build ease of use - not being bound to use certain apps sound quality! storage options , and this player has by far the best total score considering those categories.

bubbhasdance Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Definitely go for cowon s9 or j3, that's what I've been wanting for quite some time now. Can cowon mp3 players scrobble to last.fm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOCfan Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I haven't read all of this thread. In conclusion, I too back Sony. I've got one and the sound quality is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 if you don't want to be sucked in by the apple eco-system don't buy an ipod! years ago i bought a shuffle, and not long after that an imac followed...and an macbook, and an iphone....and a macbook pro ... and still no ipad =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yegg Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Creative Zens have never let me down, FUCK IPODS. yeah stick it to the man! I'm sorry if you're a butthurt Apple lover, but iPods have let me down more often than I can say. +iTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Can cowon mp3 players scrobble to last.fm? Good question! Curious now about other MP3 players' ability to scrobble. I use an iPod but will eventually be in the market for something else (not till it breaks, probably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use my BlackBerry for music listening at the moment, quality kinda stinks but it's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sprigg Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 J3 or S9... hmm... i could get a 16GB SD card for what, thirty bucks? Which would make the price of the J3 about equal to the price of the 32Gb s9, just a bit more expensive, unless I'm totally missing something <.< Can you get on the internet with any of these anti iPods? I know I know, fuck iPods and all that but you can play Earthworm Jim and Sonic and you can use ReBirth and all that shit is crazy good I couldn't give two shits less about anything other than music on my music player, honestly. I can see why one would want/like it, but for me it's just unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigs Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 i've got a samsung yp-z5. it's small, looks fucking great and plays music. i'm happy! also i don't have to deal with stupid software. as a winamp whore, this is nice. i don't use a library, i can just copy my mp3's onto the player as if it were an external drive.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Basically with ipod you buy: Quality + the price of this logo , which is quite considerable And with sony you buy: Quality What do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 with a sony you buy quality + support a company that thought it was a good idea to install malware on end users computers. Good times. Also does Sony have an MP3 player that has internet access, plays games and video, can be used for sketching out musical ideas etc etc...? If you use winamp on Windows (I don't find iTunes that bad on windows, certainly not like Safari on windows, god what a piece of shit that is), you can use your iPod touch/iPhone without iTUnes by following these steps: http://mlipod.sourceforge.net/wiki/IPhone#iPhone_without_iTunes_installation yegg: I'm not butthurt, i just think the rage directed at an object/company is funny. But keep fighting the good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are about to buy an mp3 player: do you care about the money you will spend and the quality you get or the way the company thinks/acts? Apple has its bad side too.

chenGOD Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Apple hasn't installed malware on any computer that I own. Yes Apple has its bad side too. i think the iPod/iPhone should be more customizable, clearly there is a desire for that with the jailbreak community.

Guest joshier Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 For ease of use - chuck the iPod away. I've got one myself and it's just not suitable for quickly chucking a bunch of mo3/WAV/ogg/flac on it. With other simple mp3 players they show up as USB sticks. That's what u want in a hurry.
