Some ipod Question

<< < (8/8)

Rizzo:
I'm not sure. According to the article they did. I don't remember it accurately and NZ media isn't exactly reknowned for it's good reporting.
Suffice to say; if you love music then buy new headphones. They're not satisfactory, I've had $10 headphones that did a better job than my friend's ipod headphones. Stop being stingey and shell out $60 for a good pair, they'll last 5 times longer and sound 5 time better.

I'd like to disagree. It all depends on what you want. I wanted a 20GB just music player with long battery life and a drag and drop file transfer interface. My Iriver does just that. 12-15 hour battery life works fine for me, and I, for one, prefer the joystick to the scroll wheel (and I saved $30). I agree with Est, look for other options, I'm not too familiar with what's out there for video, but iPod can't possibly be the only option.

Oh god. I bought the iRiver 20GB. I was quite honestly relieved when that thing died after 2 weeks and I could go get a different player with my warranty. I despised everything about that thing. You could only change the volume when you were in the music playing menu and you had to use the all purpose scroll pad to change it so you never actually knew if it was gonna change the volume or do something totally unexpected. The playback was jumpy and it would skip around every time the track changed. Sometimes it even flat out destroyed mp3's on it, and other times it would alter frequencies and change the eq settings without me telling it to. Not to mention that it's only compatible software was WMP 10 (eww)! That thing was bloody awful. Like I said it just froze up after 2 weeks of use, and nothing would bring it back to life. I took it back and got the Creative Zen 20GB. That is one solid piece of machinery. I bet I could chuck it against a wall and it would be unaffected. The only complaint I have is that there is no clock on the playback screen, you need to go into the options to see what time it is. But that’s like sex compared to the friggen iRiver.

My wife has one of the cheaper smaller rio and loves it.
Sure you can't put 800 CDs on it but they make a model where you can I'm sure.

Down with iPods!

Rio Karma, brilliant mp3 player, it's ergonomic, easy, ethernet sharing, etc. brilliant mp3 player, thought it's not as good as the iPod in term of style and design.

I still have an iPod
