10Gb Thomson Lyra player here.

I've been looking at the Archos Jukebox FM Recorder 20GB. 'Bout half the cost of the iPod, can view text files, play Doom even, and of course play your music. No software needed to transfer, just plug it in and a new drive appears in windows; drag and drop. Better and longer lasting battery setup than the iPod; and I think the iPod battery is not removeable. Archos you just remove your NiHM batteries if you need to, and replace with fresh ones (eg. you need longer than 10hrs play in a row).

Unfortunately I can't get a hold of the Archos in Australia for any reasonable price (ie Australian retail price is twice and then some the American price, and none of the on-line US stores ship it to Aus). So I'm thinking if I can't get the best MP3 player then I'll settle for an even cheaper MP3/CD player. I'm lookin' at the Panasonic SL-SV550 CD/MP3 player IF I can find it for sale in Aus - so far no luck.

I would consider getting a solid state MP3 player if I wasn't travelling and wanting all my music with me. And if I was getting one of those I'd be lookin' at the iRivers - they look the goods.

but it's not, a slimx is the size of a cd, the other ones athe size of a match box!

Slim X is a piece of shit. I have the old 150 and I tried the new one. Batteries don't last long, shitty sound quality, not loud enough, can't play cd's that are just a little scratched. And it's also too big by todays standards. I think my next portable would be a netmd. I tried my brother's Sharp netmd and it had perfect sound quality and also very loud.

i already have a net md and i find it's useless cos it'll only allow you checkout music 3 times and then you have to check it back in again, so what then??

sweet, but too expensive
i'm gonna buy one when it costs $50

Posted by Big Lil on Jun-20-2003 22:07:

think i'll prob end up buyin the ipod when i save the money up over the summer, is it worth it buyin the 30GB one r 15GB one? (r is it 10GB?)

Posted by diego on Jun-20-2003 22:15:

so is it decided, that in fact it was a good purchase (taking personal req in to account)?

Posted by TrancEuphoria on Jun-20-2003 22:22:

I just bought a 30gig iPod the other day and it is amazing!! The best thing I found is that you can scroll through a live set so quickly and find your favourite part. I would buy the 30 gig because I think it comes with more stuff then the 15 gig like a cradle, carying case and remote. As far as memory goes I uploaded 40 live sets right away and that already took 7 gigs, so it fills up fast.

Its a software limitation
The MD has nothing to do with it. MDs are the wave of the future - small, portable great sound quality (not Sony), battery life of 50h+, easy recording and editing, fairly inexpensive too.

I have a stupid question. Do these players play 192kbps?

Posted by vito on Jun-22-2003 22:53:

they do play 192

mp3 > MD

after looking on a review site, there still isn't an mp3 player retailing that i would buy, especially at those prices

the i-pod has an unreplaceable battery....so does the zen
i-pod is a rip off, zen is only usb 1.1
that archos thing, one ugly looking, bulky, motherfucka

Posted by physe on Jun-23-2003 20:00:

The 30GB iPod is the best. Is there anything else out there that holds that much? I haven't seen any. It is expensive but if your a big music fan like myself then the purchase is completely justifiable.

Posted by mndeg on Jun-23-2003 20:03:

why would you need a replacable battery are you crazy, it charges by firewire and it also comes with an external charger for sockets

This is primarily for big lil.

This should be the link to the apple site to give you the info you want on the ipods.

30 GIG

Man get the 30 Gig cuz you can hold more than just music.

Besides I think its awesome that you can carry over 10 days of music...cuz you never know what your in the mood for.

the zen blows the ipod away...got mine 20 gig usb 2.0 for 299...where the ipod 10 gig is 299 also..ipod is a rip off..and for 100 bucks more you can purchase a 60 gig zen..

Posted by BryZe on Jun-24-2003 03:04:

I havent seen the interface for the zen but if its anything less than the iPod than its no comparison.

Posted by magnasoma on Jun-24-2003 10:06:

There is no comparison to the iPod. Its outstanding.

The only issue with it i have is how it orders tracks - u gotta make up playlists for everything u want played in any type of order - think of them like folders and file listings, coz the ipod doesn't do folders, it just throws everything onto the disk, and relies on the id3 tag to sort stuff...
