iso MP3 Player So CA

[kbasketcr8r]

My son wants an IPOD- I don't know too much about MP3 players, so I came to the experts. Are there other MP# players that aren't as pricey, or should I just bite the bullet? I don't want to compromise quality, but I don't want to pay for the name if that is all I am paying for....

 

I bow to the experts.....

I bought one off of eBay a while ago, I payed a lil over $100 for one. It's got a built in FM Modulator, so I can listen to it while I'm in the car. The sound quality ain't too bad. I won't lie, this thing seems bulky and it's not very pretty to look at. But you can't beat the price, even the new ones are nicely priced.

Hi Kathleen,

 

I would highly recommend the Creative Labs NOMAD MuVo TX for $90.

 

Here are the benefits over the Apple iPod:

• Flash based MP3 player with fewer moving parts (no hard drive especially).
• Built-in FM tuner.
• Uses a single AAA battery.
• Weighs just 1.1 ounces!
• Reads both WMA and MP3 file formats, very important.
• Microsoft Windows plug and play to any USB equipped desktop or laptop PC.
• Built-in microphone for recording short voice notes or long lectures.
• $90 vs $299 iPod

Its smaller but think about how many mp3s you can put on that when compared to the ipod.

 

Lets say the songs are at 192kbps that would be about 1 megabyte per minute of music. So you wouldn't put more than 250 minutes of music on the muvo but you could put about 20,000 on the ipod, or 4,000 minutes on the ipod mini. Those numbers are actually inflated a bit as I dont have time to look up the actual usage per minute, but if you want to hold a decent about of songs you would want some sort of HD, or compact flash based mp3 player.

I agree but I prefer flash based MP3 Players for these key reasons:

1) I don't have 5000+ songs, 50 is fine with me.

2) I like the built-in FM Tuner.

3) Size, smaller the better.

4) Price, again smaller the better.

Depends on the person I guess. 50 songs might last me two days, and reuploading every two days would get very annoying.

 

There are HD based mp3 players with FM radios, but yes you win the size and price argument.
