[cacicgtp7]

I want to get a good mp3 player, but i don't buy all the hype of ipod. What's another lower priced just as good mp3 player? Mostly i'm looking for something that can hold 20GB and has good music quality. Any suggestions???

Im looking at the IRiver now...im still undecided. The iriver does have a fm tuner and recorder built in where as the ipod doesnt.

Ok no iPod than how about the iPod mini?
I've had mine for almost a year now and I love it!

Why dont you want an iPod?

Just ask the folk at GPG if the enjoyed the iPod cranking out tunes all night long over my iTrip fm modulator?!

Crapple = no

Good Choice


I've had a Creative Labs player .. not even sure of the model... for a while... (over 1.5 years)

40GB hard drive, easy to use... NOT CRAPPLE .... Zen something or other ....

Good stuff....

MP3 Player is an MP3 player... and the further away from crapple it is the better

oh and FM Modulatores are 15 bux from best buy.. so even cheaper on the net .... Crapple Ishits are just a name... they offer nothing over other cheaper brands that offer more.....

I got the iRiver last year for xmas i know its a good little gadget...but this year i am getting an ipod so i can download and listen to the songs in my car

you can use any of the players in the car...just need the fm moudulator thingy you can get them from radio shack for 30 bucks i think

I'm thinking of going with the Creative Labs Zen Touch. It sounds like a great bang for the buck buy. 24 hour battery life, 20 GB and much cheaper than Ipod. Got great reviews on consumer reports also.

lol lisa if you want to get rid of the iriver and put those funds towards a ipod let me know

I am looing at the Zen one and the Dell. John, have you found any good comparisons between mp3 players

Crapple = no

Just generalizing...

Where did USB come from - 'crapple'
Where did Firewire come from - 'crapple'
Where did mp3 players come from - 'crapple'

My point being iPOd is not crappy - in my opinion.
What you need to do is rate your choice based on what matters most to you, ie: cost; portability; amount of memory; ergo or looks; menu interface; etc.

The last MP3 player I used was an iRiver. But since I got a iPaq hx4700 PDA which has both SD and CF cards, I just store my MP3s in the removable cards! It's not a dediated MP3 player, so it has its drawbacks such as battery life. But with my PDA, I can play MP3's, play video (it has VGA screen), sync with my Outlook, and remotely control/connect to computers via wireless B) .

J.E.T.

Just on consumer reports, and going to epinions.com. The Zen got really good reviews, the dell was good also. But i'm leaning to the Zen because of the battery and they say the dell can break real easily. Plus the Zen has a S/N ratio of 97db, which is amazing quality, and that's what i'm looking for.

Go ahead and get your $15 modulator. You get a whole 4 stations to choose and they are all taken up by real stations in the Chicago area. If you do get a modulator get one that you can adjust to any station you want. That way when you go out of town you can adjust the stations so you dont get any bleed over.

Again, I love my crapple mini and the Griffin iTrip FM modulator! The iTunes jukebox is laid out awesome and is very easy to use.
