Hi whats your favorite mp3 player? ipod, creative, iriver? etc. I use Ipod

[ghostrider]

I really like my iPod Mini. iPod nanos are too small, and I don't have any videos I want to watch. It fits right in my hand, and I'm never going to use more than 6 GB. Its perfect for me.

I like my iRiver. It was cheaper than an iPod with similar specs and does more (voice recording, FM tuner, et cetera). It's an older one, though, so it doesn't support WMA format files. That stinks, but I can live with it

At some point, I WILL have to upgrade to a new player. I'm waiting to see what the next generation Zune (Microsoft) will be like. I want to see what features they add/improve/ditch/whatever, as I'm not completely in love with the current versions.

Creative's MP3 players are also pretty good. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

Ultimately, as long as it's not Apple, I'm probably going to be happy. I hate iPods with a burning passion - mostly because they're a little overpriced for what they can do...but also because of that whole proprietary file format thing. Blah.

I have an 80Gb Ipod, I think it's the best mp3 player and Video player too. The size is small, the weight is low, easy to handle, to get what you need like a specific song or video in just seconds. It's very slim so you can put it anywhere: put in your pocket, take it when travelling, buisness trip. It serves as a very good flash hard drive. You can watch movies like DVD's that takes two hour. Put thousand of songs and Pics. The screen is bright and the voice is clear, and best of all it is rechargeable and charge quickly and last lots of hours. Ipos is a great invention.

I have iPod mini 4GB and it have never broked but my sisters iPod nano has twice broked!!! I would like the new nano or shuffle tho .

I have an 80Gb Ipod. I think the ipod leads the way. The others mite be innovative but to me Ipod is the standard out there on the market.

[pemo]

I've used only iPod and I can asseverate that it's very good and the earphones too. But I've heard that iRiver and Creative are also good!

[michaelper22]

IMHO (in my humble opinion), iriver MP3 players are the best. They have the best balance of price and features. I currently own an iriver U10, which features iriver's famous D-click navigation. The screen is sharp and bright, and the player has too many features to list here.

I dislike the iPod for a couple of reasons:
1. The only music store compatible with the iPod is the iTunes Music Store.
2. The iPod has become one of those icons in society, and I don't like being part of the crowd.
3. The iPod is kinda expensive.

what's the deal with ipod earphones? they start producing a cracking noise after just a few months' use. I've gotten them replaced 3 times already and the latest ones are acting up again (and i've been taking good care of them ever since the first set went bad).

I'd personally stick with iPods. They may not be the cheapest, but they're usually pretty good quality with a nice warranty, and they have a lot more support as far as compatibility and accessories go.

About the earbuds, Ankit, I've had 2 ipods already and the buds lasted me a very long time without any crackle. But maybe you're playing the wrong kind of music too loud for too long or something. If they keep messing up on you, I'd suggest buying higher quality ones. You can get a pretty good pair for 10-20 bucks.

[Or you could get actual headphones that go over your ears. They're more expensive and bulky, but they do a damn good job with music. Whenever I'm at home I'm usually wearing my big computer headphones [microphone and all], just because they're that much better.]

The best Mp3 player?? Hard question. Like catigorizing or asking by these questions: the lowest price, easiest to use, most space on it, best design, longest warranty, best graphics, easiest to get, or the most options??

Well, if all of them, then the iPod.

The Prices: The prices are not that bad, and if you consider them high, then you must agree that the iPod is worth the price. But to most the iPod prices are fine.

Easiest To Use: The iPod is pretty easy to use, and the iPod has loads and loads of space. The iPod Video has 80 GB space on it!! And all you need is 2 GB to store your whole life on a computer....

Best Design: And the iPod has sweet design. You can get it in different sizes, colors and styles. You can even get your name engraved in the back of it. Tons of customization option.

Longest Warranty: The iPod has a nice warranty. I'm not sure how long it goes on, but for weeks at least. Most likely it goes on for months.... yes that has to be right. It has a longer warranty than most Mp3 players.

Best Graphics: The graphics are great. The words are easy to use and the graphics aren't blurry, they are clear. They are not smudged. You can also adjust the brightness and it doesn't strain your eyes alot. The screen is protected and you can see color.

Most Options: You can listen to music, play games, check out the calender, use a calculator, and way, way, way more on your iPod. There is lots of option, unlike most Mp3 players. You don't just download songs and listen to sings. There is way more to the iPod than that

I'm not and iPod freak and I don't know a whole ton about it, but I know and can see that The iPod has every quality perfectly (sorry, that's worded awkwardly). Yes, the iPod has to be the best. If you don't agree, then come on and use common sense. It has to be when you use critical thinking and work it out with your mind.

Say what you want, but nothing beats my Nokia N80

[narutorasengan17]

i have a little 512mb sandisk...its pretty good for me,since i dont really need more than 140 songs on my mp3...

[Android]

As far as players go, Ipod Video, or a Creative Zen Z i think.

[bhavesh]

I have Nokia N70 Music Edition. I think it is far better then any ipod . As it is all in one , phone, Digital Camera, iPod, pen drive etc....

I would have to say iPod is my favorite because it's easy to use. Plus it goes good with my Apple iBook. In the past I've had a Rio MP3 player and it flat out sucked! When I tried to load songs on it, the damn computer would never recognize the player (with all the stuff installed) and when I'd try to get it to work on other people's computers the same thing would happen. Then when I managed to get the computer to recognize it after like 50 tries, the damn program it used would end up freezing throughout the transfer. Rio players are pieces of sh. iPod - plugin hit the sync button and its all good.

I haven't used Zune before but the only cool thing I see about it is the ability to share songs, but then that sucks cause I've heard you can only listen to the song a handful of times before it's deleted.

Correct. According to what I read, you can only listen to the shared songs three times within three days of the share. It really kills the potential of the wireless functions. But it is still a great MP3 player, in terms of other features and the (gargantuam) display.

[gostbox]

IRiver T30 of course....

[dabl_di]

I like Ipod.
But i use my mobile phone as a Mp3 player.I have a 4gb of memory and that is enough for me...I can watch videos,too...

[chrisnield]

When it comes down to MP3 Players for me, its always sound quality over eye-candy and features. Seen as most of the time my MP3 player is just shoved playing in my pocket, what goods a colour screen and the rest of the features that arent been used?

So really the part of the MP3 player I really need is the sound it produces, its hard to get spectacular sound quality from an MP3 player but some come close, Creative is the best at producing decent sound quality for me. I own a Creative Zen Micro and there are two other iPods in the house which fail to beat my Creative MP3 player

[galexcd]

I've got the 60 gig black video ipod oooo fancy!
I must say the Ipod has always been my favorite mp3 player, but probably only because I'm biased because I'm such a big apple fan

Yes I must say the Ipod headphones are terrible. Besides they are really uncomfortable. I immediately bought a different pair of headphones for my Ipod when I got it.

Greetings

i dont have a favorite one mp3 layer
i'm just using a cheap one,

i down have motch time to listen to mp3 when i'm at work, so thats wy


ha ve anice day

[Adam Roethburg]

Ipod I think so.

[dastrophy]

An ipod is by far the easiest to use due to the clickwheel: this is probably what put it above the rest.

I have an ipod, but also I have a Creative Muvo: whilst I store all my music on my ipod, the Muvo as a flash player is brilliant: whilst lest songs, I can jog/cycle with it and it is virtually indestructable: you can stand on it and even throw it out of a second storey window and it bounces (I've tried)

Sound quality is still good, it is easy to use, and due to the replaceable battery, the battery life is completely dependant on how many spare batteries you can fit in a pocket

[badboy4life]
