man, watching Sony's first ATRAC-only player fail sure was satisfying

You know, I've never understood what's so great about drag-and-drop. I mean, yeah, you can use Explorer, but frankly, Explorer isn't exactly the greatest music management system ever. I'd much rather just plug my MP3 player in and have it sync itself. To each his own, I guess.
--- Quote from: edcho7000 ---does the ipod play mp3's like that? I've never tried it, and now may need to.

Grr. It never ceases to amaze me how many people don't understand that YES, you CAN play MP3s on an iPod, and NO, you DON'T have to buy your music from the iTunes Music Store for it to work on the iPod. Use your common sense. How many people (who aren't fucking retarded) would put up with shit like that?
nescience:
Certain press organizations ran a fun little (painfully obvious) story a couple years back that pointed out that users buying the newest iPod at that time would have to pay almost $10,000 to fill their iPod with music that was bought on iTunes (and, the article pointed out, that was also clearly acquired legally). It would be, if nothing else, an egregious waste of money for Apple to make iPods with such large hard drives if use of that space were out of reach for pretty much the entire music-listening community.

That's pretty funny. I can fill my iPod just with my cd collection. I wonder if they were trying to prove some kind of point or if just being thick.

--- Quote from: est ---Just want to raise the idea of mp3 players other than iPods. Don't just blindly go for an iPod, you should shop around, see what else you can get for the amount of money you want to spend. I always shop around first, then if there's no stand-out choice I'll go for the niftiest option (in this case, the iPod). But it'd be annoying to go straight for the trendy thing and then realise a couple days afterwards that there's something else that does the job better.

check the Rio out, they're not that bad.
I love the Rio Karma, thought there's horror story about their hard drive failing.
