MP3 Players

[Ceph]

I have a zune and I loooooooove it. I had a creative vision : m (still do) but unless you are careful with it it will lock up every few months and you will have to let the battery run down. Zune on the other hand has a great system, looks nice, and is just pretty much awsome

Work gave us their latest MP3 player for xmas. Its a Samsung K5 & OMG I love this thing, I cannot put it down!

it has:
A 4G hard drive
Photo Viewer
An alarm clock
An FM radio (I use this all day long at work)
Super spiffy Earphones that have wicked sound (great base too!) + they are the antenna for the radio
2 flip out speakers

However the K5 costs about 300.00 at retail (thats what I was told). I think I got all the features

I might spend between 100-200 dollars...I want a good quality one that will actually play random songs. Mine will play random, but if I start from the same some everytime it will play the same random songs everytime. It freezes all the time, that's annoying. I can't skip more than 2 songs without it freezing.

I've looked into some of these things. iRiver and creative zen are apperintly the same price as an iPod nano. which would be the best?

I would vote ipod cause many of the parts are made by Samsung=non junk & ipods are hardy... I know nothing about iriver & c.zen, never heard of them

I have an ipod and love it, I wouldn't have bought one for myself but got it as a present! (Smart of Paul) I have the larger one, not the Nano, but if you want songa to play randomly, it does do that - and it's really random. I forgot that I have an MP3 of the time I was on the radio that loaded into iTunes, so I was really surprised to hear that one day instead of the "next song!"

I was given an ipod at Christmas, which surprised me no end, because I had never had a desire for such a thing, but I absolutely LOVE it. I haven't tried transferring CDs yet, but am going to do that soon.

I have a pretty enormous CD collection I eventually want to put onto an mp3 player. Thank goodness for fair-use rules! It's not illegal to copy your own media for yourself. I'm hunting around for an mp3 player, too.

if it's a Nano you just plug it into the USB port of your computer and it will charge it I LOVE the iPod Nano that we have!! We even have a car kit that uses the car's cassette player to play songs from the iPod over your car speakers... I don't know how the other iPod's charge but I would imagine that they also charge using the USB cable
