i got an MPIO and it stores about...256mb. 45 songs to 55

[Snaker]

The best one I ever had was a Creative NOMAD Zen Xtra, which is just a full size version of the Zen micro, and I loved it. A very good value, I'd say go for the Micro.

[Lumbra]

I have a 1gb small SanDisk SDMX1 its an awesome awesome mp3 player.

[XxnemisxX]

get the zen micro has better stuff and longer battery life and cheaper then ipod

[Laughing]

Yeah I have a 512 mb sandisk...its extremely durable, I've landed on it so many times. An ipod would have shattered if I fell on it as hard as I did with this sandisk.

That's wht i have, the 30gig version. It broke last week after 7 months.

[Snaker]

Mine was stolen.

[CoffinGrinder]

Sorry to hear that.

Mine broke.

[XxnemisxX]

that one mp3 player on the ebay site looks kinda fruity.its like to shiny so it looks like sum kids toy.

[CoffinGrinder]

I had a shiny MP3 player.

[DarkHawk2-2]

i had a 128mb nike psa thing. i lost it one day on my home... i dropped it and it rolled into a sewer. *sigh* if u go to a discovery store at the mall, they usually have some good deals on good mp3 players. IPods are swell and all but id rather have something that lasts than have a ridiculous amount of music on me.

[skidmark]

Thats cool, I have a RCA LYRA its 128meg then I have a 512meg card for it so Ive got about 110 songs on it.

[rustyburrito55]

I've got the 512 Vibe mp3 player from www.pny.com It has a nifty face that slides up so access the buttons. It looks super cool when you show your friends and prevents you from hitting the buttons while skating. It's about as big as a lighter and also comes in a 1gig version.

[STR8 RIPPIN']

Ive got phillips one. think its make is HDD but i wouldnt swear on that. i has a little less memory than an ipod mini, 2GB witch is still enought though and it is a fair price. it has basically all the same features as an ipod.

[COPS PUSH MONGO]

get an ipod they can hold 3000 songs .

[sk8er6792]

i have a 40gb iPod. it can hold i think a little less than 10,000 songs. iPod's have a special "bling" factor that I like alot. the zen looks cool too. If you dont wanna spend alot just get a mini or even a shuffle.

[evilcheese00]

The best one I ever had was a Creative NOMAD Zen Xtra, which is just a full size version of the Zen micro, and I loved it. A very good value, I'd say go for the Micro.

Seconded.

I just fixed my 30gig xtra btw. Simple to do and exellent customer service. ; )

[shift_Decks]

get a
nomad sen instead of ipod
zen micro in stead of mini
pny vibe instead of shuffle

[042281123]

Ok....


Ive had both the Zen micro and the ipod mini.

I would NOT buy the zen micro due to a defect in the earphoneplug , since it is situated in the middle whenever the earphone plug gets knocked the soldering that is holding the connections together brake. Thus the earphonesocket is broken. Do not tell me this was a oneoff brakage because i had 4 of them and this happened to everyone.

I would however highly recommend the ipod mini , i have had mine half a year with no complaints , i have skated and i took some bad falls with it , i holds up very good. Just now has it broken due to me dropping it in fine sand.


Go for the ipod. :)

Good luck with your buy !

[jpk0106]

i like ipod

[offthewallsk8er]

i am selling a crap load of stuff on ebay to get money to purchase a ipod mini. i hope i get enough.

[Ian_Y]

My friends, you are all about to be stunned. Behold the light.

http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/x5/

I have the 30 GB X5L. 35 hrs playback. iPod killer, in fact, any MP3 killer. The thing is amazing.

[paintballin177]

My psp works pretty good as an mp3 player

[ScArKiLLa45]

Easy, iRiver H10. 5, 6, 20, and 40 gigs of space. They are 250 to 300 dollars. There is an AM/FM tuner, full color screen, you can view text from it, pictures, and if you have the right firmware, video. And of course, extremely good quality music. I have myself a 20 gig, and I love it to death. Screw iPod, this is a killer MP3 Player. They look really really cool too. They come in grey, remix blue, red, and silver.

[XxnemisxX]

wtf is remix blue?some sort of color they made so it sounds kool?

[kickflip2005]

i decided to go for an ipod not an ipod mini but an ipod but thanks for all your help!

[HailToTheThief]

i decided to go for an ipod not an ipod mini but an ipod but thanks for all your help!dammit !
lost another one to apple
well, have fun with your excellent interface, yet total lack of features.

[crazy_dave]

^ HAHA totally agree with you. Theres so much better choice than iPod yet people just turn a blind eye.

Hehe hailtothetheif, you got all lucky 7's!(theres a good chance you will have no clue what i am talking about)

[XxnemisxX]

ipods are to mainstream tsk tsk and crazy dave nice (cow boy bee bop)i think avatar????

[crazy_dave]

Yea it is. I really need to get the dvd's. I havn't seen it in ages!

[XxnemisxX]

haha yeah its a good show. i watch it on adult swim but its only on sometimes=\

[offthewallsk8er]

im seriosuly beggining to doubt that ill get enough money to buy an ipod, so i need a cheaper alternative with some good features...hopefully able to find on ebay for...say...less than 100$?

[sk8rnblack]

me and my freinds all have thr rio mp3 player none of em have broken cuz they have a hard metal case and they hold anywhere from 50 to 500 songs depending on the size and they dont cost much

[ScArKiLLa45]

wtf is remix blue?some sort of color they made so it sounds kool?

Nah, it's like medium dark blue, they just made up a name to be unique I guess...lol

[Ian_Y]

Thank you for informing me of this.

Your welcome. Do some research, I've never found a negative review. This thing is ace.

[Hellbringer1026]

ipod sucks cuz its 1 dollar a song and if u have 10,000 songs and u use em all....its 10,000 dollars when u can just use rhapsody for free on mp3

[Blind Sheppard]

You don't have to pay to put music on you fool.

[Ian_Y]

Anyone who pays for anything involving software/music/videos is an idiot.

[shift_Decks]

dude you got apple

haha check it bitches! it doubles as a cassette tape to play in cassette players, which i know is old, but who cares! I WIN.

[MidgetMessiah]

san disk i fell on mine quite a few times and didnt break and one of these falls broke my collarbone

[MuyoMan]

Iriver has some good memory based ones. My bro got a really nice 512 for like 270(sure price has dropped now) color screen, 11 equalizers, small, great batter life. Or you can go Cd. Thats what I am going now to save money. I just have a CD player (you can get them to read MP3s) just put the headphones on, slip the wire under my shirt and into my pocket where the CD player rest.

[Stonemonkey]

Zen Micro.

awesome... cassettes play in cars though

[MuyoMan]

Or in casset players, I know sony used to have some nice ones. Though writing your music to that would require special hardware, so its not to practical.

not with this, my hard-skatin' amigo. this card can store roughly 20 songs, and the player already has a built in 'hard drive' as it would be, with a special port at the side which comes with cable so you can edit that too. so all in all it stores around 30 songs, but if you got a bigger card, it would store about 50. and these cards can fit into card readers, which arent that expenxive or uncommon.
