hmpitags2006 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I was looking into getting a new MP3/4 player to replace my 1GB Ipod Nano. I could stick with Ipod but I hear that to put Videos and Movies on there it is a pain in the butt. So I was eyeballing this one http://www.creative.com/products/product.a...14331&nav=0http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16855102015The 60GB one. Does anybody have any exp with this one?The old Ipod Video is in the price range as this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16855101444Just wondering what y'all think. Thanks,-G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'm half considering getting the Zune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I purchased a Creative Zen…. A little over two years ago… and all I have to say is… I love the thing. Is still works PERFECT!!! *Even after a little abuse* I think they are much easier than Ipods to put music and what not on them. I also think the sound quality is better…AND IT”S CHEAPER!!!!! Hahaha*shrugs*I have never used the other ones so I wouldn’t be able to compare them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmpitags2006 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I think I am going to go with the ZEN 60GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have an Iriver, i like it, Its durable its lasted like 4 years so far without any problems. I dont think i would buy IPOD just because their so friggin expensive just seems too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm holding out until the Zune actually beats the price of an iPod instead of just trying to compete with it (big mistake on their part). Or until they add AM to their radio. Or go up to 40/60/80/ or larger gig. Wicked sweet that they made a brown one with greenish tinted edge highlights. Brown for the win.

kornkitten42 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 eh the only thing i dont like about zune is they say they can send a song to a friend wirelessly andplay that song on theirs. that song only last three days. other than thati think they are coolI personally have had two ipods. I think they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmpitags2006 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 yeah I have one now a 1GB Nano, but I want something that can handle most of my library and some vids, plus the Zen has FM radio on it and other cool features. Plus I was reading that it is easier to use with windows xp and vista than a iPod cause you don't have to convert as many files to other formats.

The King Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 See i like that you can send songs to eachothers zunes. Even though they last for a only a few days, mods for them will be out soon. My friend used to have one of those old ipods that showed pictures but not video, and we modded the software so that it played videos. There's some crazy shit you can do to mod things, between game systems, phones, ipods, and every other mini computer device you can broaden their capabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i have 2 gig insignia mp3/video player...does everything an ipod video does, its just not the size of a brick...my only complaint is that it doesnt come in like 60 gigs...it has the option of upgradable memory...but the memory sticks only come in like 2.5 gigs...just get an ipod...i wouldve but i didnt have that much money...it was just a cheap alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmpitags2006 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well since my phone is a piece of crap cingular is sending me a new one They are sending me this one cause my Razor is crap. http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=us&...p&pid=10376The best part is that the memory stick can support up to 4GB so I am going to use this instead of my iPod now. This phone is pretty sweet, y'all should check out some reviews of it on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV21p2JchW4...ted&search= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheetz Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Never buy an IPOD, ever.I have gone through 3 of them now. They all have died, I will only deal with Flash Drive styles now. HDD's are not meant to be moved around when they are running. Hence why all my drives have died. And its nice knowing that after 5 months of walking 5 blocks to school and to the apartment my HDD dies. Screw Apple and their crap, it was good for awhile, once you get bugs in it (about a year into owning one) if fucking blows ass. I never dropped 1 of them, ever. And it dies from using it while I walk to class. I am now using my Chocolate for music. Onlything that sucks is I cannot play it in the car like I could with my ITrip.

maramos Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...&sku=457194I would go with the Zen Vision M, its also cheaper at B&H then newegg even without the rebate. From what i hear they are very goodplayers and because they support most popular video formats you shouldnt have to convert most of you files like you would if you got one of the other popular players like the Ipod of Zune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
