essines Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 SO i need a new music player etc. I am trying to look at iriver's new products through their homepage but keep getting virus alerts. Other than iriver i dunno where to look. iriver was my first and favorite player. Right now i have a first generation Ipod Video, 80gb. I don't want to go smaller than 80 gb, preferably higher, but i can deal with it. I really would appreciate a simple interface: Put music on, take music off. As many file types as possible. None of this itunes bullshit. Don't care if it has video or not, don't care about anything except it playing music. Anybody got any reccomendations?

pcock Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 what possible reason would you have to facepalm asking about good mp3 players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 i was slightly offended but then realised i don't give a shit about rubin farr. I found the Cowon X7, it looks fucking sweet. 103 hours of audio battery life. Only downside is i don't think it exists in Canada yet. It seems pretty fucking awesome though. http://www.cowonglobal.com/ is one the main page. also not a huge fan of the touch screen but i think i'd get past that quite quickly.

chenGOD Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 yeah the X7 just got released in Korea (home market) in October, so probably early next year for that bad boy in North America. If you can hold off it look like it might be a winnar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 iTunes can't take music on or off? Odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 my 4 gig sony died a couple months ago and i've been using my old minidisc, now IT's acting up... not that surprised because it's ancient. i'll probably get another sony. i don't mind that it's small gig wise... 4/8.. i could probalby get an itouch cheap but i think it would be 1st generation.

essines Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 the reason for facepalm: http://forum.watmm.com/topic/56731-getting-a-new-mp3-player/ http://forum.watmm.com/topic/51085-your-portable-music-player-of-choice/ et al yeah well i kind of wanted my own thread. fuck that other shit. we get laptop/gear/player/everything threads all the time, i don't see the harm. iTunes can't take music on or off? Odd The thing is itunes can but you need to use itunes. with, say, an iriver it is drag and drop. it's a protable hdd with music playing firmware on it. it also plays more than 1 or 2 file types. .... yeah the X7 just got released in Korea (home market) in October, so probably early next year for that bad boy in North America. If you can hold off it look like it might be a winnar! it sounds like what i am looking for. any way to score one straight from korea or am i hooped?

goffer Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The dimensions on the X7 are ridiculous: 3.2 x 0.4 x 6.1 inches ; 1.3 pounds [says amazon] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Obel made a thread about MP3 players at one point and the consensus was basically the Cowon S9. I bought it and it's been fucking amazing to this day. I'm not sure if the X7 trumps it but I recommend the S9 to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEK Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 ok, so.......xs cargo. i bought a sony mp3 player there, i've taken the first one back and the second one doesn't work either... luckily i bought the warranty plan and i can replace the mp3 player with anything i want. xs is ok, don't buy electronics from them. lesson learnt.

Seconded (Though, I find it strange that Obel is referring to himself in the third person in the above post) S9 is great. Pure win all the way.
