Mine is an iRiver H10 5GB

and as for my Flash player a Gateway 256MB

[*tweeak*]

20gb iPod color

I finally say an iRiver H10 20gb yesterday and it was really nice. Had I seen it prior to my birthday, I may have asked for it instead

[EddieV]

^^ Yeah I like it a lot, boy had I researched like crazy before I came across that one...

[*tweeak*]

Oh, I researed a ton, but in the end I opted for the iPod because it suited my needs better. i didn't realize how much i'd covet a recorder

[EddieV]

Yeah that's the reason I chose the iRiver over the iPod, for the recorder, and the FM Tuning, plus I heard iPod has terrible customer service.

[faded23]

I'm cheap and have no money so I have no mp3 player haha.
i just spend my money on chucks.

[Eryi]

20 GB iPod w/ Color Display

[simx]

iPODS are overrated, I like creative

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Yeah that's the reason I chose the iRiver over the iPod, for the recorder, and the FM Tuning, plus I heard iPod has terrible customer service.

It ain't exactly like iRivers is the best either. You should here the stuff I hear people say about them.

iRiver Pmp-120

[cfaye3char]

I use my sony psp it loads like a mp3 I think. so I think that counts.

[*tweeak*]

Yeah that's the reason I chose the iRiver over the iPod, for the recorder, and the FM Tuning, plus I heard iPod has terrible customer service.

I hadn;t thought of the recording at the time, and I had no interest in radio, since I just don't listen to it. I covet my mini-games, though.

[warriors1035]

20GB iRiver H10

i loov it sooo much

[EddieV]

Samsung 20gb.

Ooohhh, Yeah.

http://www.techtastic.ca/reviews4/yh-925gs.html

My friend is getting that one, how is it?

[annalucky]

^ It's awesome. I'm really happy with it. It's in color and yeaaahh. Just awesome. The sound quality it pumps out is really good too. I think the only bad thing for some people about it is that the OS it uses is Windows XP and only that.

[MentPatient]

I use a Rio thing.
Only has 256 MB, so shitty!

[EddieV]

^ Rios actually have really good sound quality, although poor on tech support. Reason? They have no Tech Support.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

^ Rios actually have really good sound quality, although poor on tech support. Reason? They have no Tech Support.

Rios are for the ultimate music junkie who doesn't care about looks or function.

They support FLAC, which is very good quality audio, while keep the size as minimum as mp3 at 128 or encodings.
Reason for no tech support? Rio doesn't make mp3 players anymore.

[coconutter]

I still love iPod

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

I still love iPod

Thats too bad.

Thats too bad.

Dude, as much as I hate iPods myself at least give it some credit. I mean for people who don't really research on their players it IS a decent player.

[hunnigurl01]

ipod nano 4 gig.
it suits my needs. that's all that matters.

[EddieV]

My iRiver H10 is something I love. Although it does not suit my needs only for one reason. I need something that plays videos. Can't wait until the U10 comes out!

[jennyjenny]

Isn't there gonna be a new ipod that can hold like, 150hours of videos too? i saw it on the news.

i have an iriver h10. it's red. i like it a lot. i just don't really know how to use it haha. i'm not sure but i think it's a 6gb.

Just the flash memory part.

[EddieV]

^^ Ok that I have to agree with, big time.

[Gigi]

I have a 1GB Samsung YP-T8. It can play videos, view pictures, record sounds, play radio and games...yeah.

[EmmalieV]

Awesome, I want a h320 and a gigabeat. But The gigabeat don't play videos, but it would be so hot with it's 2.2 screen.

The NW-HD series is so hot, although they skipped the NW-HD4 because the name sounds like death in japanease and just went with the 5.

The Nano does seem smaller everytime I see it.

[*xcaitlinx*]

My friend was going to get a Gigabeat, although he wound up getting an H10, I feel like kicking his ass for that.

[sadolakced acid]

well, i'm not expecailly fond of the gigabeat's touch design...

i think i'll see what iriver comes up with as the H series's next in line.

IPOD SHUFFLE....1GB

[EddieV]

I just thought of something, since the iPod Video was released, would it be considered an MP3 player or a Portable Media Player. Same with the iRiver H320 since it also has the ability to play videos.

[eccentricity__]

A green 6gb ipod mini.

Once it starts malfunctioning like all ipods eventually do, i'll have to get one of those new 5G ipods, which I really don't like...

ipods are pretty bad. i just like the itunes music store <33 although I could probably pick up limewire again if i needed to.

[eccentricity__]

I just thought of something, since the iPod Video was released, would it be considered an MP3 player or a Portable Media Player. Same with the iRiver H320 since it also has the ability to play videos.

Nope, because if you look at lots of reviews for it, you can't really play much on the iPod that you didn't make on iMovie or isn't from the iTunes music store, because not all the apps that convert movies to the 'right' format will actually work with every movie and stuff. So as of now, it's still mainly an MP3 player.

I wanted to get that. I was too lazy to convert my protected songs from the itunes music store though.

[rainbowish]

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

No, look at the Cowon iAudio x5. It can play videos, but its not a PMP. Basically, its a DAP that has the ability to play videos. Such as those small flash players (Not u10) that can play videos too. With their one or so screens. You know, like the iAudio u3.

"

And you can play movies that you didn't convert, but only if they were originaly what the video can support. Plus there are other ways to convert outside of iMovie.

Instead of the iTunes Music store why don't you just go back to Napster, a lot of players nowadays are supporting Napster to Go.

[*mipadi*]

Napster is really not a good idea, in my opinion. It sounds like a good idea, but you know how much music you have once you cancel your subscription? None. At least with a pay-per-song store, you retain your music.

You can buy songs with Napster, but at $0.80 a song, and the monthly subscription cost, it doesn't seem to be that much cheaper than another service.

[Lithium718]

I would most def use a p2p service instead like LimeWire cuz its FREE! Although there is a risk of getting viruses.

do you know how many songs you'll have when you uninstall Itunes? or your comptuer gets stolen?

NONE.

with napster, you still have those.

so both have thier faults.

[*mipadi*]

That's not even remotely the same. It's free to keep iTunes, so if you need it to play some songs, you can keep it; furthermore, you can always burn them to a CD. If your computer gets stolen...well, there's nothing that can prevent a loss of music in that case, although it was a nice non sequitur. Neither of those are really solid arguments against the fact that Napster is a bad idea because you really don't buy music, so if you cancel your subscription, you are left with no music, and there are no practical steps you can take to prevent that.

[sadolakced acid]

wait...

is cable television a bad idea because you don't keep the programming?

is blockbuster a bad idea because you don't keep the DVDs?

[underworld457]

not really cause if you like the movie you can buy it, and cable allows to see stuff you can't buy in store.

[*mipadi*]

wait...

is cable television a bad idea because you don't keep the programming?

is blockbuster a bad idea because you don't keep the DVDs?

You can keep the programming with cable television--it's called a VCR.

Hey, if you'd like to pay $10 a month to have no music after several years, instead of paying $1 per song and keep your music, be my guest.

[sadolakced acid]

you can keep your napster music- it's called your sound card.

10 bucks a month, 120 bucks a year. let's say you have it for 50 years, that's 6,000 bucks, for access to way over 10,000 songs.

now let's see... with itunes, you can get... 6,000 songs with that money. of course, you could keep it forever, but would you live forever?


even if you could live to 100 and listened to napster every month, it'd only be 12,000 bucks for access to thier entire library...


so, i guess if you want to simply buy the rights to a song (you're not really buying the song, the RIAA likes to emphasis that) then you can get 12,000 songs with itunes.

of course, if you only used an ipod for a status symbol and only had the top ten songs on there, then i guess itunes works.

seems like they're catering to a different clientel.

[*mipadi*]

Sure, you can use your sound card, but if you're going to go to the trouble of recording every song--and breaking your license agreement with Napster--wouldn't you just download the music from a P2P network anyway? Download services like iTunes and Napster exist to legitimize music--if you're going to circumvent protection laws anyway, why not just download from a P2P source and get it for free?

[sadolakced acid]

^ if you're going through the trouble of recording television shows, why don't you just download them anyways?

the sound card answer was in response to the VCR answer.

i would still like to point out that 12000 bucks will buy you only 12000 songs in itunes, which you keep forever provided you only use three comptuers, ipods, and CDs.

It's a lot easier to record a television show than to download one (specific TV shows are a bit harder to find than music, and take much longer to download); furthermore, my computer isn't hooked up to cable, so if I see something on TV that I want to record, it's easier to just pop in a videotape.

Secondly, as far as iTMS goes, you get five devices, and you can burn up to ten CD's. Five devices should cover the needs of most people, although I fully agree that the digital rights management on music is not the correct way of making use of technology. I think that people should be able to use music they bought however they please, and I do agree that the DRM is much too limiting, which is why I don't buy much music that is protected with DRM. However, I much prefer having an actual copy of a song that I can keep for as long as I want, as opposed to "renting" my music and then having none once I cancel my subscription.

[sadolakced acid]

well, with itunes you're renting them for a lifetime.

just ask the RIAA.

you're not buying the song. you're buying the permission to used the song how they tell you you can.

[*mipadi*]

well, with itunes you're renting them for a lifetime.

you're not buying the song.  you're buying the permission to used the song how they tell you you can.

And that is, sadly, a better deal than Napster tells you how to use your music, which is: listen to your Napster music on up to three computers, pay $5 extra a month to put that music on your MP3 player, pay extra to copy it to a CD, oh, and give it back when you're done with our service.

[sadolakced acid]

^ but then compare pricing.

i have about 2000 songs right now that i got from CDs, adding about 50 a month.

if i were to have gotten them from napster and put them on my MP3 player i would have payed 180 a year.

times 80 years= 14600 bucks.

let's see... this is a series, isn't it?

2000 + 50(80)(40)

2000 + 16000

18000 songs, 14600 bucks.

cheaper than itunes, right?

[*mipadi*]

Right, and then you cancel your service with Napster, and poof, all that music is gone. So:

w/ Napster: $14,600, 0 songs
w/ iTunes : $14,600, 14,600 songs.

[sadolakced acid]

but that's for 80 years.

after 80 years i expect to be dead.

i'm not really sure how usefull itunes songs are in the afterlife...

[*mipadi*]

Assuming you plan on keeping your subscription service with Napster until you die. What if you find something better? Or what if Napster collapses?

At least if Apple ceases to exist, you still have music. And if you decide to stop buying from iTMS, it's quite easy to jump ship and go to another service and still keep all your music, which is not true of Napster at all.

[sadolakced acid]

yes, but if you switch to real or yahoo, you can get the music.

[shesnothxc]

I have a Creative Nomad 40 GB
its pretty nice

[EddieV]

Jesus Christ gone from vacation and I see a Napster vs. iTunes Battle. Thank God I won't be back till X-Mas.

[*Libertie*]

I almost bought the nano, but then I found this and fell in love. It's so attractive and very cool. It's something no one else at campus will have, which is also a plus. But yeah. I love it.

One thing about ipod is that you can get it engraved for free, which I definitely want so it will be more difficult for someone to steal.. But I work at Things Remembered as an engraver, so I just engraved my own. :)

[bonluvdan]

Oregon 256Mb

but i will get a new one, pretty soon.
