Do you want to watch movies on it or do you just want to use it as a portable HD?

And how big do you want?

Its pricey, but the Archos 605 portable media player is a great choice- several of my friends have one, and its music and movie quality is excellent, as well as abundance of HD space.

iPod. Lots of people here are anti-iPod but to each his own. It's about personal preference. I love the interface and to me it's reliable. It's also the most stylish by far (as well as the most common unfortunately).

i got a question about the ipod
do you have to convert all the videos you want on the ipod? or just some of them?


iPod only plays H.264 and MPEG-4 videos - if you want to play anything else you'd have to convert it with something like SUPER.

coming from an ipod owner, trust me when i say ipod suck. limited music formats, limited features.

zune sucks as well, according to my friends.

zen is better, but i cant think of suggestions on the top of my head right now

the mp3 that broke was a zen to me :D zen are good but the thing i dont like is it seems to break easily if you drop it and its sooo big and kinda expensive though


oh.... then if all mp3 suck..... get an eee pc :D

anyways, of all the mp3 ive owned, i think the black zen micro version 2 non-video was my favorite... too bad i cant find it anywhere now.. ebay sells it for 130 fucking dollars...

I currently use both an iPod and a Zune, and I think they're both safe products; and as it's already been noted, both will have their fans and anti-fans (sort of like Macs...similar Apple/Microsoft thing). I actually rather like the Zune software, and while I used iTunes for quite some time, I do think I prefer the Zune's software more right now (it has its quirkiness, though). Also, I agree with the comment that the Zune's ear buds are superior.

Ipods imo don't have exceptional audio quality. I think you should wait in a year and buy one of those iphone ripoff copies(no hate intended). I heard of a new chip that Texas Instruments(TI FTW VATOS!) that will allow you to play HD quality videos in it as well as other neat thingy magingies.

p.s. ipod IS an mp3 player, its just that it can also play mp4 format audio. I don't know why people classify Ipods as in a whole different ballgame.

edit: here they talk about that new technology that I said. I have come to realize that this technology is coming out this year, and not the next(didn't know this article was a year old, haha).
http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/hardware/0,39042972,62024682,00.htm

check out this article, talks about HD on phones(also a year old article).

The Nokia N95 sounds as a badass phone, but the N96 is.. well, sleeker.

The thing is about FLAC is usually, you can't tell the difference unless you have amazing headphones and/or great ears so not being able to play FLAC doesn't really matter.

I have the Zen Vision:M and i would die by it.

I've had no problems with the "bulk" (zomg .2 inches more). If anything it feels a bit more solid.
Compared to Ipod
  • Better audio quality
  • Higher resolution screen/more colors
  • Plays more movie formats
  • FM Tuner
  • Recorder
  • Semi-replaceable battery (have to take it apart)
  • No itunes!
  • Can survive multiple 10-foot drops


If you get it these are the must have accessories:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/servlet/the-37/Creative-Zen-Vision-cln-M-Total/Detail Hands down the fucking sweetest accessory ever. 5-7$ for gaurenteed protection of you mp3 player. I can key it, scratch it, put it in my backpack/pocket, and all it takes is a quick wipe and its perfect. Putting on the shield is a bit tricky but once its on, you never need a case or any other protection.(i bought the face only and they mailed me the whole body kit :p)
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=13375&cat=1815&page=1 (AC Charger, allows playing while charging + charges faster)

And some other handy things are:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=13374&cat=1815&page=1 (Car Charger)
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=12423&cat=1815&page=1 AV cables so you can play music/movies through any TV (i can bring my mp3 player and hook it up to a TV so i dont need movies or dvd player or anything)

For some good reviews of all mp3 players go here: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/

how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Just so you know, there are already phones that can do everything an iphone can do and more. They just don't have as pretty a UI.

I personally cant stand ipods or anyting apple for that matter. their hardware sucks and so does their software (itunes) Itunes is a fuckign nazi, only lets you transfer YOUR music like a handful of times and you have to "erase" (been a while cant remember the term they use) it before you can transfer it again. Itunes runs like shit, freezez all the time, just like the ipod - ie. you tell the ipod to go to the next song 10-15 seconds later it actually does. Urgh they are just junk and i had the most frustrating experience with them. They are also very unintuitive in their UI, if your used to using windows well, apple does everything backwards so get ready to relearn and be frustrated GO MP3
