Portable Music Question

[Gussler]

My birthday's comin' up soon and I wondered, since I wanted to get some kind of MP3 player, what is best kind you can get? What do you prefer? I looked at the iPod Nano and though, well, it's cheap and as long as it plays music I'm happy. Tonight I'm going out to check some mp3 players out. So what do you prefer? or ... what is simply the best? Thanks

just from personal experience, iPods are the best for memory capacity, the Nano is the most versatile. lots like the nano cuz it is easier for the gym and stuff, but i think the iPod isnt really an inconvenience, it just depends on how many songs you want to carry with you. for me the nano doesn't hold enough.

there are cheaper mp3 players like Creative Zen makes their own model called Nano but i figure if you are gonna buy an mp3 player, might as well get your top choice since it will last a while (or should).

if you want the tiniest thing possible i did see some weird mp3 player called the mobile-blu or something like that. it is this little cube type deal.

i have owned 3 ipods.
pros:
they are the industry standard:
integration with iTunes, the best online store: now that they have videos, and podcasts, a huge plus.
the most intuitive of all interfaces.
easy use as a backup device, because it shows up as a drive.
lots of accessories available;
good battery life.
cons:
some what pricey, when comparing features.
batteried typically last 18 months, and you have to send it back to get a new battery..

i had to send back two of my iPods because of defects, although that may be a random occurance. just yesterday i send my 3 month old one...

imho, the only nearest competition is the iRiver H10. They look cool, and have lots of extra features for same size and lesser price: built in FM tuner, with recording, voice recording, line-in jack recording, so you can record live performance, tv, etc directly as mp3. a friend of mine records lectures and send them to classmates...

same for me. started with a 512 mb played, moved on to a 2gig, 6gig, each time thinking, this should be plenty memory! eventually I realized, the whole point is to have ALL your music wherever you go. I'll remember a song, and then realize that I don't have it with me and get frustrated. You always crave a song you DON'T have on you.. then they started the podcasts, which now I'm addicted to.
get the one which can carry all your songs...
