i dunno if you read my post, but im actually for HIM recommending the iriver. this is not an ipod nor has anything to do with apple.

however he said he wanted to know what good mp3 players are, and without listing the ipod (like it or not) you wouldnt have the top mp3 players. its not because of how they look that they own 75% of the mp3 player market, its because they actually are really good players. (and i said nothing of itunes because you dont need it for ipods)

but once again. the focus of the post was on the irivers, they are almost as good as the ipods (just not all the addons yet) and they come in so many different shapes/sizes/options that theres one for almost everyones taste.

Yeah so do the Samsungs though... I sell for my company on various outlets, and the Samsungs sell more then the iRivers...to be quite honest.

iRivers may be better in quality and such but Samsungs sell more and are more popular according to our sales.

It's his decision though...

i'd reccomend Creative Labs, anything from them or iRiver.


I wouldnt touch an iPod unless its an iPod mini or bigger, no shuffle or nano, their pieces of crap.

I decided to go with Samsung's YP-U1 (should arrive in a few days). I was tore between that and a nano. The final straw was when I tried to update quicktime and I couldn't do so without also getting itunes. Had to go to oldversion.com to get it by itself. Apple pisses me off more and more each day.

I would've held off on the Nano anyways since they currently have a nortorious scratching issue which already has a lawsuit.

Have fun with your new music machine!

Haha, the press photo of that Samsung is playing Weird Al Yankovic?

Well wouldn't have affected me anyway since my main reasoning for even considering the nano was for this skin:



I have a thing for fake wood paneling.

Another reason for my purchase.

Looks like we have something in common

Except I like iTunes.......I just think the iPod is way overrated.

Samsung I hear are quite good, but I would recommend Sony's Network Walkman mp3/attrac3+ player. The 20gb version of the Network Walkman offers 40+ hours battery life, removeable lithium battery (so you can buy another battery for long trips). I have bought 2 ipods (20gb and new 6gb mini) and found the battery life for both are below average when compared to Sony's one. Also I find the wheel frustrating at times as it does not always select the song I'm aiming for (and it's not just me coz my friends compain about the same thing. Judge for yourself though.

Enough babbling. Here's the link :-

Thanks for reccomendations but I just got the YP-U1. It's great.



Ridiculously light and simple to use. Size of pack of gum...but cheaper than a shuffle and with a screen. The USB "cable" is hidden within and slides out when needed.

Samsung is the up-and-coming company. My Samsung cell phone and DVD/VCR Recorder are both great buys!

[Krypton]

I had always thought Sony was the best.

Samsung is catching up, kinda sad.

[Teuthida]

I made a lego case for it. It's not at all practical though. Can't change songs let alone turn it on...

[Krypton]

wow.

have much time?
