[Inline 6]

just thought id start this highly important thread to discuss what Dan(out most important member) is gonna get for xmas.

dont really like how ipod has the stupid itunes to put songs on so probably go a different 1. just wanna drag n take a dump with those mp3 files

been looking at samsung s3 4g which is $117 but i hear its not stereo sound

theres also touch screen iriver 4g for $125 at jb hifi that looks alright

i have an ipod right now it annoys the crap outa me draggin n droping song by song while it waits to update.

its such a slow process i dont even bother changing songs on it now.

i want it to play music and not be a pain in the ass to add music maybe deleting songs off the thing while in use would be good to thats about it

Doesnt seem slow to me? Listen to it on iTunes and if I like I drag and drop it over to the iPod - all my musics already uploaded onto iTunes and newly downlaoded music I chuck it on straight away............. doesnt seem that much of a hassle? lol

usb mp3's are the best no programs needed just drag and play, they can be really really cheap aswel.

I have a samsung s3, I won it yays But so far it seems pretty good, has a radio/record function which seems pretty cool, games etc.

Sold my IPOD and kept the samsung instead, alot simpler.

Almost all "branded" mp3 requires some kind of 3rd party program to transfer the music & can't just drag & drop mp3 files in windows explorer like a regular usb key or hard drive.

This is mainly done to reduce people from sharing music, ie breaking copyright bla bla bla...

If you want a simple drag & drop mp3, my 1st choice would be those "generic" branded ones, I bought a super cheapo 1Gb one from JB hifi to use in my car (AUX) & its alot better than my ipod in my opinion, no more itunes. as I use winamp to play my music.

2nd Gen iPod Nano + Alpine head unit = win

Have a sansa (sandisk)8gb ipod look alike. looks like a older ones case with better features including fm radio and movies. same cables too? gets loud as hell too..lol

battery lasts forever doesnt need itunes. has a basic media converted included if you want to convert compress movies. cheap as hell about 60 bucks a year ago including the workout protective case. arm band holder. and 4gb upgrade card expandable too. highly recomended , got it from strathies, haggle a little they will come down on prices..lol or ebay ?

CNET recommends as well, (mine is the newer model of this one, same features only better firmware for more memory)

the only drawback is the charging , it only came with a cable to hook to USB to charge with. besides that no drawbacks at all for the cost.

had a 80 gb ipod the hard drive crashed and lost all my music,photos,movies in a instant. the drive wouldnt spin up even after i took it out to put in external reader took the drive apart the heads crashed into the disk and got jammed . stay away from hard drive models ,plus harddrive models use more battery to spin the drives.

have a multitude of other mp3 players in my junk box.lol including one old harddrive player with a 250gb drive in it ..lol from a laptop. it was going to be a used as a perm mount in my car but changed my idea to use a gutted laptop instead for mutimedia etc.

heading down the iphone path in a few months when the newer models come out, a few drawback on the iphones gps , uses the towers trianglation instead of actual gps from sat. which chews up bandwidth allocation fast. and not compatable with all car audio decks yet?

Before I invested in a decent MP3/CD head unit for the car, I used to use my phone

Its a K750i, 2 years old at least. Has a 2 gig memory stick in it, which is more than enough for listening to music in the car or bus.

I bought the adaptor which lets you plug in your own 3.5mm jack and connected that to one of those tape units (budget I know, but it was a VN commodore before the GTR and I wasn't about to spend money on it ;P)

Anyhow, you can now get more recent sony ericsson walkman phones with the 3.5mm jack out already, so you can use it as a walkman, and then get a m-m 3.5mm cable to go from the phone to an aux in of a head unit... (or the tape thingy)

I highly recommend it. The MP3's are stored on the card of your chosing and detect as a simple usb drive when the phone is plugged in.
