MAYBE the iriver, but i would pick the ipod over the other stuff in a heartbeat

i believe ipod sold better than any of the ones you mentioned so i dont see how it was killed....

just because people act like sheep and buy the ipod does not mean there isnt a better product out there

have you ever seen a TV add for anything other then the ipod?



what else supports AAC?

nothing and thats wht prepriority formats suck

OGG and FLAC > ACC
id use Loseless WMA before ACC

What mp3 player do you have? If you don't have one and you could buy one right now (20GB) what would you buy?
You seem to know a lot about mp3 players. I saw my friend's IPOD and I liked it, but it didn't make me want to buy one.

You seem to know a lot about mp3 players. I saw my friend's IPOD and I liked it, but it didn't make me want to buy one.

i currently have a 30gb Creative Zen Xtra, its a lil bigger then the ipod which is why many dont like it, IMO its fine, fits fine in my pocket, has great sound quality and is easy to use, good 10-12 hour batter life as well, its about a year old

if i was gonna get a 20GB player RIGHT NOW, id get a Creative Touch, basically the same size as a ipod, 20gig, 24 HOUR battery Life, good interface and all that

if you have more to spend then the iaudio M3L is great, 35 Hour battery life, 40gb, smaller then the ipod,

if you want small players the Zen Micro is great 5gb small, 12hour batt that can be replaced
the Rio Carbon is smaller then the ipod mini, 5 gb, good bat life

(Sony finally supporting mp3 natively 😀)

Smaller then the M3L. The iPod imo is a bit too long and the remote is HORRIBLE. I miss my MD remotes.

LOL

That's what I originally linked to in the first post. 😛

lol.

When I searched for it it had the 'span' crap for the link instead 😛

Now it shows up!

But yeah i'd take this. I got to think of a way get rid of my iPod 3rd gen 20Gb one but I got my name lasered on the back of it 😛

Sony never likes to learn, do they?

"Our Beta format is superior!! Everyone will realize its worth 2x the price of VHS and buy our Beta. Who needs movies that actually play on it?"

"Our ATRAC3 format is superior [not this time]!! Everyone will realize this and waste hours converting their music to our custom format!! Who needs downloadable music in native format?"

"Our blu-ray technology is superior..."
 
AAC is a great format, its one of the main reasons I want to buy an iPod. No its not proprietary, its just more common for Mac users, WinAmp can play AAC's, and so can some Linux progs (forgot the names, go winxp!). WMA is crap, and RM is double crap, they both suck. If I could have any MP3 player I wanted, price aside, I'd take an iPod Photo 60 GB, its a great deal, otherwise I'd take an iPod 20 or a Zen Touch (friend got one, its fuggin awesome, but still bigger than the iPod, 4G that is)

you didn't do any research on the Creative Zen Touch and Zen Micro, did you? If I had to buy again, i'd still choose those over ipod and ipod mini, easily.


I agree. The sound quality was better in the Creative Zen according to multiple reviews, and let's see ....ummm...200 dollars cheaper for the same size in the Ipod.

Do I hate the IPod, no! But I hate that people won't go out and research the better products out there when the Ipod is the "hip" thing. Annoys me like crazy.

Why would he have to do research on the obvious? The main point is that iPod hasn't been killed as seen in its dominance of the hard disk mp3 player market. They also have great marketing.
 
Try finding one on ebay EyeMWing.

I want the dam Sony one but got to get rid of my iPod but it has my name engraved on the back of it 😛! nooooooooo

Its so funny how smart people think they are because they are against whats "cool." From my experience I would never buy anything than a mini, 4 people in my apartment, 3 different mp3 players. 2 minis, 1 creative zen, 1 rio karma. Now you nerds should brace yourselves for this, but guess which two roomates are constantly rebooting and complaining about their players, have players which are much larger, and can't take their players running, exercising....
