Who here owns an Ipod and what kind.Or any other mP3 player will work.I have one of the original iPods.Bought cheap from my friend.Holds 5,000 songs.I have like 585 on it.

I have a little black MP3 player and I love it. I think it might be dying though - I've had it for a year. Still, it's got some of my faveourite blues, R&B and soul stuff on it, so I carry it around everywhere.

[bluesharp]

Wouldn't know how to work one:roll: Just worked out how to use me cd player after a year!!

[caramal]

There really easy BluesHarp.Especially the iPods.You just have to move your finger acroos the turn table.Also please tell what songs you have on your mp3 players.

I want to get one eventually but it's not important enough to me yet. I know that I don't want an iPod because they are overpriced. A friend of mine recommends SanDisk's USB-based MP3 players because then you are not limited by storage space.

Songs I have:

The Blues Brothers soundtrack
Miscellaneous Blues Brothers songs
Sam & Dave songs
My collection of Soul songs
Songs from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Musical (once more with feeling)
My David Bowie collection
My The Jam collection
My Weezer collection
My Beatles collection
Close to Me and Love Cats by The Cure
My AC/DC collection
Beat on the Brat by The Ramones

And I think that's about it. There's a lot of songs in those "collections" :wink:

I have a black ipod nano. It holds 1,000 songs. Its cool but the batteries don't last long. So for long plane rides it kind of sucks. It's good for the gym or snowboarding though.

[caramal]

I thought it had 14 hour batteries.
Oh well.Mine holds about 5,000 songs.

I've just bought an MP3 player and i treated me son to a half decent one!!

The big ones might but the nano is so small that I assume they probably couldn't fit a big battery in it. It's cool but if you need a lot of battery time I wouldn't recommend a nano.

I have an iRiver H320 (20GB).
I got it a year ago, hated the iPod I had before it.
It has:
Video support (keep in mind this is 6 months before iPod Video was released)
Built-in FM Radio (you can also record from radio to mp3)
Line-in connection (to record from almost any other audio source)
Photo viewing/storage
USB host connection (plug someone else's mp3 player in and copy the tracks off, or plug in a digital camera and transfer your photos to your iRiver if your camera runs out of space)
Tie-clip microphone included (for voice recording)
Remote-control (not wireless).
Leather carry case (with replacement plastic window and screen cleaner)
Integrated notetaking microphone on the side

And it doesn't need any special software to work either, unlike my iPod which tried to take over my system and needed iTunes.

I worked out if I had bought all the accessories this iRiver came with in the box for an iPod, it would have cost me around $400 more. For example, I use the remote to change tracks and keep the unit in my backpack. The headphones plug into the remote. With the iPod everytime I wanted to change to the next track I had to unzip my backpack and fiddle with the clickwheel, which isn't easy when you're standing up on a crowded moving bus. A remote for the iPod costs $75 here.

The unit (with headphones and remote)


The accessories included:


Oh yeah, forgot to mention the 3.5mm line-in cable, and the backup battery charger (which runs on AA batteries). My iRiver ran out of power on the plane (I was watching a movie), so I plugged in the battery pack and got another 5 hours out of it :D

Check it out, USB input (this was FANTASTIC on my USA holiday, I only had a 1GB memory card for my camera, but when it filled up I moved the photos to my iRiver and took more photos )


I know I sound like a salesman talking about this thing (actually I was, I used to sell them), but I love it. It's harder to use than the iPod if you're an absolute beginner, but if you're an audio geek like me who loves gadgets (and has no problems doing a firmware upgrade whenever a new feature is added), then you'd love this

Currently I have my entire music collection on this (about 8GB of mp3s), plus 3GB of videos (Red Dwarf, The Blues Brothers, Stargate), and I think I still have all my holiday photos (over 3,500) on there. I haven't run out of space yet

[bluesharp]

Got lost as usual:roll:

[caramal]

I just keep my iPod in my pocket.The click wheel is easy and I'd like to see wich song I'm switching to.But that's just me.

[icy93]

I got a black iPod nano holds 500 songs enough for me ,caramal is your iPod a 20 gig if it is, it should hold 10,000;)
