I also have a Creative player, and I really prefer it to any iPod ... mainly this reason:

  • You can use online subscription based services like Napster or Yahoo Unlimited.

Listen to millions of tracks as long and often as you want for $15/month ... tell my again why iTunes is so great!

By the way, has anyone here tried active noise suppression/cancellation headphones/earphones (Sennheiser HDC451, Sony MDR-NC11, JVC HA-NC100, Panasonic RPHC100, etc.) on an aeroplane? I don't want to fork out between GBP 30 to 90 for a pair of noise suppression/cancellation headphones or earphones without knowing how good they are first. Do they work well on an aeroplane?

It's only when you try to use your MP3 player on an aeroplane that you realise how damn noisy is the cabin of a civil airliner. I have to really crank up the volume of my iRiver H140 in order to be able to listen to it in an aeroplane, even using in-ear earphones. This cannot be doing my eardrums any good.

Can anyone recommend a specific make/model of active noise reduction headphones or earphones for an MP3 player? (I'm not talking about in-ear earphones - I've got an expensive pair of Sony Fontopia earphones already and the aircraft cabin is still too noisy - but about active noise suppression/cancellation technology.) Anyone use one of these active noise suppression/cancellation things?

OK, I finally plumped for Sennheiser PXC 250 after reading many good reviews (see Amazon.com, for example). Light, foldable, and good noise cancellation on aeroplanes.

Can I ask why is it that you say that cassettes and vynils have better sound quality than CDS?, I'm really ignorant on audio topics.

Argentic photo is far better for colours than numeric photo.

like for sound, the numerisation involves a loss of information.

And video cassette looks better than DVD too I guess

For those of you with H1xx series iRiver players, it is now possible to play music files encoded using FLAC and other lossless compression methods. Check out the Open Source Rockbox software project here:

http://www.rockbox.org/

You can compare the features of iRiver's H1xx series firmware with the RockBox alternative here:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/FeatureComparison

And you can read the FAQ on installing and using RockBox on iRiver H1xx players here:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverFAQ

There are also many threads about using Rockbox on iRiver players on the MisticRiver Web site (http://www.misticriver.net/). According to these threads, many people have been using Rockbox on H1xx iRiver players for many months and finding it a good alternative to iRiver's own firmware. I'm not about to re-rip all my music to FLAC (it's all in MP3 format at the moment) but, if you are thinking of getting a player that supports lossless codecs, then a secondhand iRiver H1xx plus Rockbox may be worth considering.

iPods are an evil device.  Their battery is designed to die after about 12-18 months, and then they charge you 80 dollars/pounds (depending where you are, though i think they charge the same dollars as they do pounds) for a new one.  An extremely devious and borederline legal tactic to extort money out of the unsuspecting consumer.

Get ANYTHING other than an iPod.

Hang on, analogue images don't make any sense if they're to be watched on a TV. a CRT screen has to be at least partially digital, because the screen's divided up into pixels! Unless you're talking about using projectors and suchlike?

You are right,Marantz burners are good, and even the better.
And it has nothing to do with a computer copy.

But you are wrong with tape: a good k7 deck destroys very expensive CD players!!

Interesting,but I would go with CD before tape and so would 99.9999999999% of all sensible people.
I have a Marantz Cd recorder to replace my Phillips one,the copies are superb,far,far better than tape! IMHO
