MP3 Players

[Jeebs]

Hey hey...well since its new forum might as well ask... anyoneknow any good portable mp3 players? I was thinking the Sonicblu Rio S50. It looks good but, i dunno... it looks kinda weak.. really plasticy but i havent held one so i dunno. Maybe the iRiver Odysse-300. I want something that i can expand the memory too. Any suggestions?

i know the kiddo i work with got one last year for xmas and his is awesome..it was teh cheap "classic" brand sold at circuit city. you can upgrade teh memory and i know for afact this will withstand any abuse you can dish out to it! he threw it off a rollercoaster and when we found it it worked beautifully!he is very rough on things and if it lasts a week with him then it will last a lifetime for a regular person. btw he has had it over ayear now and it sounds brandnew.

I've got the 20GB iPod for Windows right now - I'm going to reformat it to mac format once the G4 arrives later this week.

Last year I ripped all of my CDs onto a big hard drive of one of my servers and setup a web page in the house to stream them from - pretty sweet deal overall...

Thats what I want! I just cant bring myself to pay that much for a MP3 player, even though it rocks.

hey guys............dont know if they make em yet but i am looking for a portable stereo that plays mp3's. not cd's but maybe compact flash or mulyimedia cards. brian wants a stereo for work and i think he would get so much out of it if he could dl all his cd's onto 1 cartridge.

cool
I got one of the first MP3 players about 3years ago. Its the Samsung Yepp 64MB player. I've gotten alot of great listening out of it. Its the size of my wallet and i can fit a cd on there @128bitrate

Anyone know anything about the Nomad Jukebox 3 20gb? I found aplace that sells it for 200$ and ive heard good things about it but anyone accualy owned one?

[nonovurbizniz]

Ya Ya that's the one my brother has (the older one that's less gigs)

but he friggin loves the thing.

and to ohiochica.... if you can afford it get one with a harddrive the media ones are all a hassle cuz you only have so much space and your still stuck carrying your music and the player around.

my 2 bits

i can get one with a hard drive? this thing would be permanent for his garage. i want something that he can dl stuff at home and then carry it to work and just put 1 item into teh player and play hours from 1 item. am i makingt any sense? if so what are these things called?

the only portable things that play mp3's are my laptop and my in dash cd player. by the time the mp3 cd gets from one end to the other the car is due for an oil change.


becky: just get him a portable cd player with mp3 capabilities. there are a bunch of those around and they are around $100 at circuit city
