mp3 players (9 Viewers)

[Lawnchair Bes]

Hello everyone,

I have decided that i want to get me a decent mp3 player. Is there a hard drive based one that will allow you to just copy+paste the music? rather than go through the software and have to "sync"

anyone own one that they are particularly happy with? why?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Cowon iAudio 7. Does what you need and probably has the best audio quality of the lot, plays the most formats as well, including FLAC(lossless). I have the 8gb and it's sweet.

Also, I believe a new line is coming out so you could get this one on the cheap. Look on eBay. Oh and don't mind the pictures, it looks like it's huge but it's actualy miniature. Great player.

Oh and battery lasts for a looooong time. They say 60h, I could swear it lasts even longer.

one thing I would suggest is to regularly format them...backup your songs on your HD so that you can re-add them....all these USB-based mp3 players always get viruses

We drove him to it with the constant criticism of his taste in movies.

the suggestion sound great, however, it seems hard to find one around here. i'd rather not go with ebay

then i found this http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10093621&logon=&langid=EN

the great thing about it is that it has an sd card slot and i already have a bunch of sds

Amazon?

It's miles ahead of anything Creative will ever put out. Not just because I own it, but because I did quite a research before buying(at that time). In a nutshell, if sound quality is what matters to you, and it should, go for iAudio 7. If Video is what matters than skip iAdudio 7, it has the capability but a 1.3" screen.

I beg to differ, cowon is awesome for video:

(that's not the iaudio 7, it's my iaudio f2, same screen)

You still have that picture. TBH, I still never even tried playing a video file on my iAudio 7, it seems pointless.

It's like watching an ant farm or a stream on bet365.com

You have to hold it really still or it's unusable. Say you're lying in bed and holding it up with one hand, the slight shake from your hand is enough to be so disruptive that you can't really watch it.

Thank you for bringing that up. That puts it in perspective indeed.

At least it makes you completely focused on the movie.

stupid amazon won't ship to canada, and i cant for the life of me figure out amazon international

either way, vlatko this better be worth it. i'm gonna spend twice as much as creative and have to wait a couple of weeks at least

amazon.de?

so that would make porn useless on the device
