One thing that people have to remember while reading this is that most of it is opinion and personal preference. No one should be able to tell you what you will or wont like. Go out and try out the different players and see what you think suits your needs best.

buy an ipod

the 15 hours of battery life that apple claims on NEW iPods, is still CRAP and NOONE will get 15 hours, its more like 12 or 13.

That being said, the old ones with 8 hours, last more like 4-6 hours.

With an avg. of 5 and 12 hours on new ones,

WHATS THE FUCKING POINT OF HAVING 10 OR MORE GIGS ON A PORTABLE DEVICE?

The battery will ESPECIALLY go down if ure going from track to track to track all over the place from various artists, and thats the POINT! To randomize your tune selections! But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! YOU CANT, because the battery life is

HORSESHIT to begin with on iPod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF i were to buy a new HD MP3 player, it would be EITHER:

Sony NW-HD3
or
Cowon iAudio (around 24 hours of actual battery life, slightly bigger than ipod)

they measure it as NON STOP (and they claim that too)
they usually advertise as 15 hours of non-stop play - meaning that when u just let the ipod play without playing around with the backlight/switching songs non stop and doing things that will make the drive spin harder...then OBVIOUSLY your batt life will be longer.

i bet when iriver (OR ANY OTHER BATTERY POWERED DEVICE) states their "estimated batt life"... they estimate it based on non-stop play...

The point is so you don't have to continually have it hooked up to the computer to change around your selection of music. With 10+ gigs you can have the selection that you wouldnt with a 512 or 256 meg memory device. I love being able to go and say, "Hey, what set do i want to listen to now." and look through and have 500+ sets to choose from.

no, because when u flip through those sets, ure draining ure battery, and it doesnt last, please, gimme a break, i have an ipod (well had, its supposed to be shipped back to me, but apples a fucking joke with ipods and i still havent gotten it back) and it never lasts a fair amount.

I listen to at least 3 hours of music on the go, a day. Thankfully, i recharge my battery only once every two or three weeks. And its not so bad with having discs. I like whipping out my MDs and people staring at the coolness and ORIGINALITY factor, as opposed to everyone else being a fucking ipod DRONE.

Mines a Sony MZ-N910 (possibly the best non Hi-MD)

But if you really want a lot of recording space, try the Sony MZ-NH900

1GB per disc, and acts as an HD, plus external battery, line in and mic in, optical in, everything is there man, its beautiful especially if you DJ

or doyou have to hold fast forward for like 10 minutes

I've got quite an old Sony Minidisc too and if you pause then fast forward it fast forwards about three minutes for every second you hold it down.

Ok so it's not 4seconds to 141mins but then there is the track break button so you can just break down long sets into 10min gaps with a click.

And THAT, is simply fucking GENIOUS from sony!

Ive recorded so many sets off of DI and other online radios or WHATEVER, and track mark functions works like a CHARM!!

The only problem I have with MD players are that when you transfer a song over to your MD player it needs to be converted, now mind you I’m a few generations out of date (I have an MD 707), and after you convert the song the converted atrac3 sits on your HD which took up valuable space on my Hard drives. Aside from that the MD player worked great until I broke the headphone jack. Does anyone know if Sony still forces the MP3 to Atrac3 conversion and save the Atrac3 on the hard drive?

Also about battery charging, all lithium Ion batteries like to be charged as often as possible, it increases the battery life, so if you have a 95% full battery and you can charge it, charge it. It's better for the battery then if you charge it at 25%.

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-36.htm
“If possible, do not discharge lithium-based batteries too deeply. Instead, recharge more often.�?

And as for me I’m using a Creative Nomad Zen Xtra, the file transfers seem finicky and I can’t transfer some sets for some reason, but I got it off of Amazon for 170 so I can’t complain payed half as much as an Ipod 40 gig or an I river.

i think if you used the analogy "smooth like snorting jibb" Sylee would understand you better.

no hes actually right. the interface is very good, going from artist to artist, track to track, scrolling instead of fast forwarding, is beautiful on the ipod. the scroll feature, is actually amazing. this feature alone is worth 100 bucks.

but the the poor battery life is worth -300 bucks.

Posted by beats and beeps on Dec-06-2004 00:35:

I still say the fourth generation of ipods are sweet. They dont have those four stupid buttons below the screen like the 3g.

Plus, I dont think 12 hours is a fair enough battery.
