whats the best mp3 player

**scott_donald** · 02-03-2004, 11:08 AM

goin to buy one... whats the best one... price not really a matter within reason as getting money from insurance...

If you can spring for an IPOD go for it, but buy it from Best Buy and get the extended warranty, the battery life is ****ty.
Other than that, RCA Lyra is pretty damn good also.

I was recently shopping for a high end MP3 player, and I had it narrowed down to the Ipod, or the Dell DJ. Then someone showed me this

http://reviews.cnet.com/iRiver_iHP_1...?tag=pdtl-list

This is what i ended up buying. It is awesome. So easy to use.
I had it set up and was transfering my music files in 5 minutes.

The sound is great (with new headphones), plus its upgradeable, plays ogg/wav/mp3, and WMA files. Can be used as a portable hard drive, and I dont think the screen is to small to read.
The list goes on and on.

Edit- oh yeah, it has a 15 hour battery life.

What does it use to connect to the computer? USB, firewire?

**tbomb** · 02-03-2004, 11:34 AM

it depends on what you plan on using it for, scott. if you plan on using it for your workouts, you might wanna stick with a flash-type player, but if you plan on using it for everything else (if you take the train to work or something), then id go for a harddrive based player. other than that, i would just go for price and user-friendliness.

personally, i just have a discman with radio and mp3 capability. i use it for everything including my workouts, and it has never skipped once since i got it last summer. 1 blank cd holds 700 megs of mp3s, and the cd only costs about $0.25

"An AC power adapter, a USB 1.1/2.0 cord, and an installation disc round out the package."

USB and USB 2.0, not sure on the Firewire. I have a PC with a USB 2.0 port, it lighting fast.

hmm, i got a dell inspiron 5100... has usb and firewire. Dont know what usb 2.0 looks like. If it has the same connector as usb 1 then Im guessing i probably have it.

I have a Dell 8100, or 8200, 8- something, but the USB 2.0 was like a $50 upgrade.

The top one is spelled iPOD, not rio...

(The Rio is an overpriced piece of plastic crap just like all the other cheap-assed imitations.)

**scott_donald** · 02-03-2004, 02:14 PM

the reviews everywhere say that the ipod is the best.... just bought all of the magazines with this type of stuff in it...

**AJbuilder** · 02-03-2004, 02:41 PM

pocket pc, about 300 dollars

acts as a portable computer, you could access your home online dsl or whatever broadband connection you have with a wifi card

and acts as a music player too, stores up to 40 mp3s i think, quality is great.

**agpetz** · 02-03-2004, 04:35 PM

i-river is the way to go

http://reviews.cnet.com/IRiver_iFP_3...?tag=pdtl-list

i have the one with 256 mb, its a great player, comes with an armband, but its kind of tight.

**Blk98Bird** · 02-03-2004, 05:55 PM

yeah I love my iriver, I use the 128meg one since it's basically just for workouts or walking around campus to classes so that amount of music is good for me. by the time i've tired of one mix I can just reflash another hour or 2 of music

**Bigbow** · 02-03-2004, 06:08 PM

I have tried the imp-150, the ifp- with 64 mb, and the ihp-120 with 20 gb and ALL of them have been great players and to my extensive knowledge the best around. The ihp is much cheaper and advanced than the ipods. good luck

**SnoBoardrB** · 09-07-2004, 11:13 PM

Go with the Iriver...has gotten the best customer reviews and has practically every feature you could ask for; esp with 20 gigs
