MP3 Player

[ZeUs!!]

I never said you couldn't, its just that he's looking for an MP3 player not a CD player, I suggested a minidisc because you can put MP3's AND cd's on and you've got unlimited space

[Troll King]

Does anyone know of a player that also has an AM/FM tuner? I've found one but it only has FM. That's fine for music, but I'd also like to catch some sports over the radio, and they're all on AM freqs here.

[bloodzombie]

you wanna pay $99 every 2 years ?

That's a worst case scenerio. Most likely the price will come down and/or they'll have better batteries before I needed to buy my first new battery.

And no, I woudln't mind paying $99 every 2 years if I use it all the time.

But what I'm saying is that I don't see how this is any better/different than a CD player except that the discs are smaller.

good question, I haven't seen any at all.. which kind has the FM tuner?

[Troll King]

RCA makes some, like this one but it's not the one I saw before.


EDIT: Okay, here's the one I saw earlier. It's an MPiO.


Lots of people think radio is dead, but functionally, I think it's still a useful feature for an MP3 player. It took me a while to find one, but when I was shopping for a CD player a couple of years ago I waited until I got one with a built-in AM/FM radio tuner.

Radio is dead to me as far as listening to music, but I gotta have Howard Stern in the morning and NPR for news.

those are probably fine MP3 players, but I want a hard drive one so I can just load my entire collection on it.

bz if u have an absolute fuckload of music go for the creative jukebox

do you ppl not read?

the apple battery prob is fixed. it doesnt die anymore.. just dont buy an old rev iPod.

And I'm saying its better because you can put MP3's on a minidisc, if you put them on a CD then you can only use it once

[bloodzombie]

But a new cd only costs about 20 cents.

[PipArchDevil]

20 cents!? where do you live!?

More like 15 to 20 dollars for me!

re-writable CDs ?

Just so you know: I don't want an iPod, they are too expensive, I know I can get larger capacity at a lower price elsewhere.

if price-storage ratio is the most important, th iPod is indeed a bad choice.

but when you look at other specs, it's pretty much unbeatable. I'd go for it, might cost a little more but lemme tell ya, it's totally worth the money.
