The one I had which is pretty small, was $200. Remember: These things are pretty much permanent, so don't do something stupid. Get something that actually has some type of meaning for you. 30 years down the line, you don't want to look at it and think 'Whisky Tango Foxtrot was I on when I did that to myself?'

So a few years ago, I bought a few raffle tickets at school and won me an ipod nano. 2 whole GB's!!

Last week, I won a new one. I'm up to 8GB's!!

I don't buy ipods, I win em.

i have a 2gb one too. its aggravating how much music WONT fit on it. i hate having to go all darwin's theory of evolution on my ipod playlist.

Min · « **Reply #4255 on:** July 30, 2009, 04:27:13 PM »

Yeah. I didn't have much of a problem with the music, but I hated only fitting half a book on there. Now I can fit a bunch of books!!

And a bunch of music too.

I highly recommend. You can get the yellow one on walmart.com for under $130.

I couldn't live without my 160GB one. I never know what I might want to listen to, so I need it all.

FleetStrike · « **Reply #4258 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:22:01 PM »

My girlfriend got a rebate on a 8GB iTouch and gave it to me for my b-day.

I just have an 8 gig non-ipod mp3 player. Serves me well given I just can't bring myself to join the rest of the world with an iPod. I would feel like some kind of tool with one. Though I wont deny the attraction of an iPhone...

12AX7 · « **Reply #4263 on:** July 31, 2009, 07:12:20 PM »

I have an eyepod. The doc says he can remove it fairly easy; but my insurance don't cover it. It's about 2g; maybe a gram and a half; something like that. It doesn't play anything though, just hangs there and oozes.

I'm still using one of these as my primary MP3 player.

I love this thing. I get around 10-15 hours of battery life out of a single charge, it's small, the sound quality is excellent, the interface easy and intuitive, and it's platform agnostic: when you plug it in to a computer, it just shows up as a portable USB hard drive. Drag and drop to get songs onto it.

No proprietary software to "sync" it, no special drivers. It just works. Windows, Mac, Linux.

I only wish ARCHOS hadn't discontinued it. I'd love to get a new one with a bigger hard drive (like a 60GB of the same model), but all they're making these days are little flash-based 8GB and 16GB players with short-ass battery lives because of their power-thirsty screens. Bleah. It's sad that the MP3 player I have now -- which came out in 2005, ferfucksake -- is better than what Archos' current product lines offer.

I don't want video, I don't care about a full color screen. I just want an MP3 player with at least 60GB of space, at least 10 hours of battery life, and a non-proprietary means of loading it. Is that too much to ask?

Apparently it is, from my recent shopping around. When my current MP3 player dies, I have no idea what I'll buy to replace it, because NOBODY makes what I need.

Time to start the design plans?

Demosthenes · « **Reply #4266 on:** August 03, 2009, 01:13:33 PM »

Ugh. It's about that time, yeah. NOBODY makes just a simple, decent battery life, high-capacity MP3 player anymore that doesn't require special software to sync it.

I guess there isn't a market for it, which kind of surprises me.

I'll admit, I'm feeling pretty good about myself as I lifted an engine into the back of a van on my own. Without a engine hoist. The freight company said the load was about 300 pounds, too.

Sadly, I believe this feat might take me out of the traditional "geek" category.
