Portable music... MD or MP3?

GameMaster · 08-20-2003, 07:59 PM

I have an iPod and I would definately recommend it. I got the iPod when they were first introduced so I have the 5G iPod which is no longer made but it has the original mechanical scroll wheel and the original button layout which I think is better than the new one. And although you may not have a lot of songs now, your collection will most likely grow and I think it's better to have extra room than not enough.

Mini hardrive technology is much better for portable music than Mini Disc also.

And the iPod can also hold other information since it's a mini hardrive so if you have tons of room leftover you store files or other stuff if you want to free up some of your computer's room. And you can download text or audio books so if you're into reading or listening to stories you can do that also.

The iPod is the best portable music player. I strongly urge you to get it over the Sony MD player.

iPod HIGHLY recommended. as Gamemaster said. it doubles for many other uses.

I have a 30gig one. i can store all my music. then put say some files on it (big ones) take it to afriends computer and put them on there without needing CD's or anything

Not to mention it plays games on it. (ex. bricks (kinda like pong)... solitare, etc. i think they can make more for download. not sure bout that yet.)

has callender. Alarm clock

you can save mesages in there and all that.

i've never regreted getting it. and its so easy and quick to put files on it too

Yeah, I'd say get the 30 gig. If you're already spending close to 400$ on a 15 why not just double the size for 100$?

And if you're not going to want to drop the bones on an mp3 player don't CD players that play mp3 encoded cds kind of make minidisc obsolete?

I haven't filled my 5G yet.

i have about 8gigs of songs on mine. But, my friend and his bothers have over 500 CD's each. So his 30gig iPod has like 300 full CD's coppied onto his ipod. roughly 3000 songs.

i go over there and copy some of thier cd's whenever i feel like having some new music. hehe

And a CD player that can play mp3's fits about 150 songs on 1 CD.
But get a portable DVD player that plays mp3's and fit like what? over 500 songs one on DVD. not sure how many.

Fellow iPod owners, post a picture!

Are you using physical money to buy your iPod, or are you using something like a credit card. Because you could use eBay and see how much they run on there.
