I'm looking at getting a Creative Muvo.

Something like £175 for 4GB. More than i'll ever need.

My current one. Bought it for £100 in 2002, alright when it was released, I have waaay too many MP3s for it now. I have to reduce the quality to 56kpbs to fit enough music on.

what headphones are you buying? I've had a pair of Sony headphones that have lasted me on the upwards of 3 years...

Yeah, I found out that for like $20 more bucks I could have gotten the next one up with double the memory. I have a lot of music so I have to just remove and add songs depending on what I am in the mood for, which is a pretty easy task.

I checked it out and I see I could have gotten a lot better with $200...

Cost me £200... which is currently about $340 or so, still cheaper than a 20 gig iPod. :cool:

Archos Jukebox Recorder 10.

ood--Lots of file space.

Bad--Lack of support, not enough file space for a music whore.

Well, the ones I've been using the past few years were the MDR-CD280 ones. I had a pair that lasted about 18 months before breaking on me... I liked them, so I bought another pair of the exact ones. Those lasted about a yaer or so. Not a short lifespan by any means, but annoying having to shell out $40 every few months for a new pair :mad:

I've got an Archos Jukebox FM Recorder, with 20 gigs of space. It's currently being repaired, though...

I'd really like to get an iRiver or a Nomad.

I've got a 20 gig iPod, can't complain one bit...

Actually making sure all of my bands and songs were spelled correctly took a helluva long time, but it was worth it

I am nit picky about having spelling and such correct. I try to keep it in order.

I've that one too brilliant thing the only thing I dislike about it is you can't set up a playlist while you're out and aboot cause you've to do that on the computer

Got an old (now it is anyway :o ) Creative 64mb MuVo.

Looking at getting an iPod but the more I read the more I think I'd be better off with an alternative.

I have no problems with my iPod, it has great sound and great display, 5,000 songs, I can't ask for more. Its not even that big.

I looked at that iRiver one and it looks like it has a really small screen, wouldn't that make browsing really tough? I have probably 1,000 artists, that would be a bitch.

40Gb iPod, no problems either.

I want to get one soon...

I want to get an iPod, but I've heard that when an iPod's battery dies (And cant be recharged anymore), you either have to get a new one or send it to Apple and pay $100 for a new battery or a new one... I heard the batteries last 3-5 years... Anyone heard about that?

I've heard of such. But whatever they are nice. I'm still working on that Free iPod thing.

Changed my mind, I'll probably get an iPod Mini instead.

I got a Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 20gb.

They're only about £70 now, so it's kind of a bargain, even if it is the size of a CD player :(
