This might be a stupid question but do you have any mp3 players for sale????


Posted by Master_Yoda on Dec-02-2003 06:59:

Ummm, nope...

I'm only gonna sell them for the next week.

Can't belive only one person wants one.


Posted by bassaholix on Dec-02-2003 07:05:

Hmmm abit expensive considering that you can buy a infty MP3 player that plays a shitload more than what an MD would play...

Oh wells... does look nifty


Posted by one.tjc on Dec-03-2003 11:58:



32-minute skip-free playback, a built-in FM tuner and extended battery life up to 55 hours.

and the fact that CD's cost 50c and hold 700+MB of mp3's


am in love with mine


[since the word comes up in every thread,]

MD has been "owned"

Amen! 10-20 or 40 gig portable HDD basically....connect 2 any computer and u've got a HDD, And/or use it has music device!

No disks to change, no "checking tracks out" like a MD...

The next generation are going to have bluetooth support to tell you if you're phone's ringing. I'd like to see any other music player do that!

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen > iPod


Posted by Rememberence_ on Dec-03-2003 23:07:

lol @ total hijack of MD! I have an MD and I can't stress how dissapointed I am in sony for some of the decision they made with this technology. All the copy protection shit, the way-too-late arrival of a PC interface, and their shit quality ATRAC codec. The only good thing about MD is the media, cheap, but still small, rewritable and randomly accessable. Sad to say MD's days are over as far as I'm concerned. _|_ to sony, losers.

Mm, there are flaws with MDs, but don't think they're a useless technology. They're probably still the best media for recording whether straight off the decks or a lecture through a microphone, as solid state memory devices and hard drive based players still have a long long way to go in this area.

You can also go jogging and stuff with MD players - you definitely can't do that with an iPod or Nomad Jukebox, and not really with an iRiver player either.

I agree there are big design flaws with them, but they still do have their place in the sun.

I have the MD player that is for sale. I have already had this debate with wade about MD and iPod.

I was so close to buyin an iPod, but i didnt really like the 10gig one so was going for the next one up which was pretty expensive. Now the MD player i have retails for like $800, now for that price i wouldnt buy it, but i got a good deal (like the one above, but better) so i bought it. I mean its tiny, weighs barely nothing and the batter lasts the week for me travelling to and from work everyday an hour each week.

I dont see the problem with this check in check out stuff? It dosnt affect me, i transfer the mp3 onto my MD player then when im finished i transfer it back, which takes all of 5 seconds? I can do this as much as i want cause once you check it back in it returns to 3. So whats the big deal there?

Only problem i have with it is, when i record a set of mine, i cant just import it via usb, i have to record it via the line-in on my pc. thats my only issue with it.

But yea i was very close to buying an iPod, but i dont need 10, 20 gig what ever, i mean i listen to a set a few times and im done with it, i download that many i only have the time to listen to them 2 - 3 times, so the MD is fine for that.

Battery life is about 10-12 hours, charging takes about 2 hours from empty to full. It can also trickle power via USB from a computer, though it can't recharge via USB.

Unit size is slightly bigger than the iPod.

Hard drive capacity - it comes in 5 gig, 10g, 20g, 40g, and 80gig.

Sound quality is better than the iPod, Creative have been making audio hardware from day one, so the audio meets the highest standards.

Normally when you spend a crapload of money on something you have some occasional pangs of regret, but I've never had one about this. Extremely happy

Zen doesn't have LCD, touch sensitive jog wheel or remote.

Something I read AGES ago on /. :-
You know what's funny is that I was shocked to read above that a top guy at Creative wouldn't know what is up with MPEG-4 and especially AAC, and not even know that everything Apple (Mac OS X, QuickTime, all Mac apps, iPod, iTunes) are all fully MPEG-4 and AAC.

Then the next question the Creative guy goes to is about 48kHz sample rates! The CEO of Creative wants you to use Windows Media and he doesn't even realize that 48kHz is itself like the Windows Media format of the 1980's.

The 48kHz sample rate was chosen by the RIAA for "consumer" digital audio recording (DAT, MiniDisc, Hi8) so as to make it harder to make CD's from those recordings.

The small increase in quality you get by sampling at 48kHz instead of 44.1kHz does not pay for the HUGE decrease in audio quality you get by a Sample Rate Reduction from 48kHz to 44.1kHz. It's more destructive than converting to analog and then back to digital with good converters.

To still be talking 48kHz in 2003 is abysmal. The next rate that's useful above 44.1 is 96kHz, which is high up enough and done at 24-bit or 32-bit and gains you so much quality that you can then come down to 44.1 right at the end and you're better than if you stayed there through the whole process.

Creative's stuff is sub-par. It's good PC gear but it's not good audio gear. iPod is both good PC gear and good audio gear.

In short, iPod and Apple are MUSICAL ALREADY. Creative are not as creative as Apple.


Apple = Music, not Creative [Creative have only just started using their own hardware on their sound cards again, since after SB 16 (i think?) they outsoruced their chip and had it made by someone else, hence they don't get used by producers. IF Creative were good audio, they'd certain have professional producers using them (where as every1 loves Apples for production ;P)]

Wrong, wrong and wrong .. mine has all of these

The remote is for some reason only available in Australia (they never sold it in the US, don't ask me why), but mine has an LCD screen and a jog wheel.
