Ipod, Iriver or Creative MP3 player

[The Bigdawg]

I highly recommend just buying the biggest ipod out there that you can afford. For the functionality and storage per $$ amount you can't go wrong. the nano is small but so is the regular iPod... But then again I got my ipod free... If you wanna PM me I can tell you how (not sure if posting it on this board is allowed).

I might just PM you if I go with Ipod. What I dont like about it is no FM tuner. That is a big thing for me.

is that a big thing?

refer to my post, bro. I'm not kidding, the player I recommend is the ipod except better.

I don't know anyone that uses their mp3 player to listen to the radio....I don't know anyone period, but that's a whole 'nother story. I would not let that be a deciding factor. If you plan to work out with it get one with a flash drive - no moving parts = no skipping. You won't want bulk either which is why I got the Nano. It's smaller than I thought and more durable than reported, although they do scratch easily. I saw a website where somebody drove over theirs, dropped it from various heights and all sorts of stuff and it still worked. It looked like hell but...

I have the iriver i365 I love it.. only 512 MB but great for the gym. Voice recorder (to record sets/reps) FM tuner (to watch TV and listen to radio) and MP3 player.. great stuff and I got it for $50

If you are looking for something to workout with.. get a small iriver with FM tuner and voice recorder.. 512MB - 1GB is enough

otherwise if you want some serious music playing and storage.. grab the ipod.

BTW. The reason to get an iPod over other MP3 players for serious music listening is because it is by far the most popular and thus has MUCH MUCH more support with 3rd party hardware and addons (like FM tuners, FM broadcasters so you can listen to it in your car without plugging anything in, voice recorders, digital camera addons, etc).

Who cares about popularity. If you have a big enough budget, you can market anything and make it a hit. Remember the dude who sold pet rocks?

The ipod is overated, and IMO not worth the cost. It's good, but not great. It's stylish, small, and has enough features to satisfy.

The creative zen vision: M is much better than the ipod.

It's not the popularity for popularity sake it's the fact that so many other companies are making shit for the iPod.. show me what stores you can go to and buy 20+ addons to the Zen vision M....


Ipod is extensible.. Zen's isn't

Nano hands down no other MP3 players can touch an I-pod.
