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 :P 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

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.

Geez is that software still around these days

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
