its made by hyun won or soemthing like that...

not quite just as good. but close enough for most people i suppose.

and im pretty sure i've seen 256mb ones for much cheaper then that (yes i know its in canadian)

I always like when people say 500 is too much for an mp3 player, then they want a small oen for cheap. if they get a 256mb one at lets just say $100 (to make it easier to add up).

to equal a $500 40GB ipod, they'd be spending... $15,600

*shrugs* somtimes makes you wonder which one is really 'over priced' hehe

A tip for new owners: Don't even bother trying to keep the back silver side pretty. I made sure nothing rough ever touched my iPod's back and when I handled it I would always shine it up afterwards and it still has scratches. It's impossbile. So just get a plastic 'jacket' or something. Not that any of this really matters. I guess I was just eccentric, I still take care of it but I don't allow myself to get upset over it anymore. And lose the earbud headphones and just use your normal ones. Earbud headphones are bad becuase the sound isn't shielded by the soft cushion of normal headphones at all and they do directly in your ear which is proabaly too close to your ear drums so music can be damaging.

my silver side is still scar free. aside from hand prints nothing ever happens to it. I have no idea how i would ever get it scratched. that pocket clip sleeve is perfect for that. cant get scratched while its in there. and i use the remote a lot.

but i find it really easy to keep the thing scratch free. shiny side shows finger prints really really easy, but thats easy enough to wipe off with your shirt. lol.

Question about mini disc players:

This may sound like a stupid question...I'm not sure, but anyway I'm wondering about whether or not the mini disc player I choose to buy will determine the amount of songs I can have on any mini discs used with it. What I mean is, let's say a mini disc holds 1GB of songs, it doesnt matter what mini disc player I use it on, it'll always be able to play that 1GB of songs?

Yeah kind of a stupid question, I'm just curious.

As long as it plays mp3's it wont matter what player.

But say like CD players. 700MB CD, one cd player plays mp3's well that will fit about 150 songs,

But say another cd player only plays audio cd's. well when you burn the song in audio mode it holds 80min, so about 15 to 20 songs.

I'm not totally sure what the different types of mini disc players there are, just make sure it plays file types, mp3, mp4, or wmv or ogg what have you.
