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 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.

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!

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.]
