What are you folks using for media players on the go? I'm in the market to buy another one and I can't decide. Are you using your cellphone, or do you go in for the dedicated player?

My MP3 player was insanely cheap and doesn't really do much useful. They can be had for peanuts and if you aren't fussy about being able to find tracks quickly they're perfectly okay.

most unintuitive glitchy interface in the universe. The MP3 side touchscreen is so bad it is almost totally unusable.
You can't tell if you hit the button and 9 out of 10 times if sends you to the wrong place and then won't let you out.
You know where you want to go but the buttons are so crappy you can't get there. Changing the sensitivity just sends
you to different wrong places. If it was just plain buttons ike on tjhe phone it would be perfect but the fake half assed Ipod screen is poop.

I received an 80 gig Ipod Classic for the holidays. It's the first mass storage media player I've ever owned, and I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I like the design and interface, ...

On the one hand, I like the design and interface, it slips into my back pocket easily enough.The video resolution on that little screen in outstanding. Plus, 80 gigs is HUGE. So I can pretty much store anything I want on there, supposedly. I'm absolutely addicted to Podcasts, I'm subscribed to about 40 of them. And basically, it's nice to have all my music, photos, podcasts, videos, ebooks and anything else I feel like carting around with me on one slick little device. I have an FM transmitter for use in any vehicle with a radio, and battery powered compact speakers that will piss off my neighbors if I turn them up all the way.

On the other hand, ITunes is a piece of crap. It will just freeze during syncing and NOTHING, I mean nothing will get it to close, or restart short of turning the fucking power off. I get strange errors for no apparent reason when I try to sync the 10 gigs or so of video I want to store on it. I've had to restore the IPod three times since I got it, and I've purged and reloaded ITunes twice. I'm thinking of trying a third party program to sync it with. I'm afraid to store anything on it permanently because it might go into "recovery Mode" and I'll lose everything. Annoying.

All in all, I love this toy, but it keeps breaking my heart.

This was my first mp3 player. It had 64MB of memory, and yes, yes it was shaped like a cassette-- because in addition to the headset, you could pop that baby in a cassette player. Oh yes you could. I made mixtapes every day. I loved it so hard -- all hour or so of play time. (Okay, that part sucked for roadtrips and planes.)

Ahem. Sorry. There is a point to this other than "I remember when" and "Uphill both ways in the snow."

I use an iPod shuffle for daily music listening. I had an iPod mini for a while-- but I grew up with mixtapes, and picking my music for the day/week/month is as much a part of the listen-on-the-go experience as anything for me. If I want my whole music catalogue, I'm probably at home, and have it ready.

My first media player was a 10gig third generation ipod. I had to replace it almost a week after I got it due to some strange compatibility error with my PC that caused it to melt. Not shitting you. The firewire port I had just kept pouring the power in until the plastic front decided to just sneak off thataways. The battery conked out on the replacement last year, which is amazing as I got it in 2003.

I tried using a PSP, but the fact that I couldn't make playlists easily as well as the lack of space annoyed me. My memory card could only hold so much music and games. Though that thing did help me kill a ridiculous amount of time on the subway.

The DS is okay, but I'm running into the same issue. As well, the programs I've found haven't really been as pretty or smooth as the psp's. I use an R4 to read the card, but haven't gotten too into the homebrew scene for it. The possibility of better programs out there hits me every once in a while. This is usually when I just start whipping the shit out of vampires and forget about it. Waiting for weeks on a program that *might* work gets pretty frustrating when you don't have the time or knowledge to work on/improve it yourself.

The winner for me is a 4gig ipod nano that I won in a contest that took me five minutes to complete. *No, I don't have a site that you "ReeAlly NeEEd To sign UP for!"* Tiny, holds enough music that it only takes me a month or so to get bored and works with my computer. Hooray.

Also, that's the first picture I've ever seen of a Zune. Strange.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=683&Focus=17452#Comment_17452 2008-01-30T03:34:38-08:00 2013-05-18T14:45:30-07:00 Inexperto http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1927

First mp3 player for me was an Archos Gmini 202s, which was basically a 20gig hard drive with a monochrome LCD player and headphone output. It felt cheaply made, the interface was ugly and glitchy, ...

everything.

And I loved it to bits. I loved the fact that I could cram the majority of my music collection on there and still have a couple of gigs spare. I loved its lumpy ugliness. I loved the way that it was so broken that you felt you had to pick it up after every song just to make sure that it would skip to the next track without seizing up. And I nearly married it when I realised that, after a few months of using it, I'd been using it's dinky navigation nipple (for want of a better word) to select tracks and sort out volume without even taking it out of my jacket pocket to look at it.

And, after a year and a half, long after its battery life had dropped from 8 hours to twenty minutes, I accidently dropped it on the way to work. And it died. And I sulked for a month until my wife bought me a 4gig iPod Nano for my birthday.

The iPod's nice and all, and a darn sight fancier. But while I stare into its come-hither colour display and hold its curvy mettalic gleam and touch its strokeable clickwheel, I hope it doesn't notice that I'm secretly imagining that I'm using the Archos.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=683&Focus=17467#Comment_17467 2008-01-30T05:54:36-08:00 2013-05-18T14:45:30-07:00 PaulBurke http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1755

Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox Xtra, 30 gig, still going strong after four years, been dropped umpteen times. I got a spare battery for it off eBay, which is good as it's finally starting to show signs of significant charge loss. It's a bit chunky and heavy, and has become known by my friends and my wife as 'Mir', after a colleague of mine said 'my, that looks a bit Soviet Dave, like it fell off a space station or something'.

Still, I love it, and will only get something new when it eventually chokes.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=683&Focus=17509#Comment_17509 2008-01-30T10:30:00-08:00 2013-05-18T14:45:30-07:00 LokiZero http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=368

I just bought a Creative Zen Stone Plus about 1 hour ago. I had a Trutech (a Target brand) mp3 player, but it committed suicide, so I bought this one. Hopefully it will hold up a little better.

davegoodman--I had one of those too, wonderful little spartan shiny box. I got it used, and it lasted a year and a half until the stereo plug went out completely. I don't have the heart to get rid of it.

The one thing that I do miss about my iPod is how easy it synched up with iTunes. I hate iTunes, but atleast it made managing the iPod easy.

The Mobiblu Cube. I think I bought it three years ago, and the second generation came out in early 2007. It's a goofy MP3 player - a one-inch cube. My 1st gen doesn't do video or pictures, but it will do Korean/Chinese/Japanese characters. The 2nd gen, as the clip demonstrates, plays video. On a 0.25 square inch screen.

It doesn't fit well in a pocket unless you wear cargo pants. The headphones are also a necklace, so the player is dangling in front of you while you're wearing it. I've always liked it. It's rare that someone doesn't ask me about it when I wear it, though.
