I have not had ANY problems with my Zen micro and I love it to death.

iPods are for trendwhores I say. The new Creative Vision:M looks hot.

It's because they WORK. And fucking work well. I've had iPods since they were first released in early 2001. Nary a problem. They could be shaped like a gigantic hairy tit and I'd still use them.

one thing i'm wondering is whether the software rewrites the entire firmware on the iPOD or does it only work with computers that have the software installed ?

in addition, the site mentions firewire but is it also USB compatible as a drag and drop drive ? thanks for teh feedback

I'm not sure what you mean, you don't need any special formatting on the iPod firmware to use it with EphPod or anything. You could use any software to transfer to the iPod, but iTunes and EphPod do not play well together at all. If you use EphPod, don't even install iTunes, it rapes and plunders.

I haven't a clue if it'll work with USB/USB2.0 iPods, but I don't see why not. All of mine are FireWire.

i guess what i was getting at was, if u use EphPod to xfer files mp3, or whatever to the iPOD, can u then transfer those files off the iPOD onto a PC that doesn't have EphPod installed ?

Eh. I'm happy with my crappy 500mb Creative MP3 player. It's puny, but sound quality is decent and get a decent battery life out of it. (about 15hrs on 1 AAA)

I'm not sure, but I don't see why you couldn't. Even if you need EphPod, its a small enough program to be installed quickly and easily.

my ipod mini battery is a P O S....

AND the warranty is up...because I got it as a gift way after it was originally bought...

Enter the world of lithium ion batteries and also an entire world of people who don't know how to take care of them

ATTENTION: SOCIETY: DO NOT RUN THE CHARGE DOWN ON LI-ION BATTERIES ALL THE TIME, IT IS BAD. KEEP THEM CHARGED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NO MEMORY EFFECT.


And now back to your regularly scheduled doldrums

^^so true

i have a gen1 mini, and i love it - battery life is still decent, and i've never had a single problem with it.

what pisses me off though, is my itrip mini - it works about 1/10th of the time i try it... it seems to be random when it decides to work, and the interface for choosing stations is awful.

For example: it works about 1/5th the time in toronto, same station, same cars, it worked fine in capetown south africa, although i was broadcasting on a different station than what the car was recieving, and i went to the states recently, and it didnt work AT ALL.

i hate the damn thing!

anybody else have this problem?

I love my Micro to death..
seriously... battery life for anything is going to nbe crap... i have come to a solution with the micro though... turn off the back light during the daylight hours and keep that bitch on touchpad lock when you don't need it on.. and turn on the smart volume option

PERFECT

For a small mp3 player, I suggest the Samsung YP-U1Z. It as a lithium-polymer battery and a 9 band custom EQ.
For a HDD based mp3 player, the Zen Micro/Photo would be my choice. (Swappable batteries)
