Personally, I cant stand ipods, because of so many sob stories of friends breaking them all the time such as: "I cant turn it off" "The touch pad dosnt work" and "the buttons dont work." I have had a ZEN sleek (20G) for two years, and it still works fine.

I've had my iPod for almost as long, and have had only minor glitches. Those are few, and just happened recently. I use it constantly as well. Have your friends been dropping theirs?

I like my iPod, but it needs to be repaired, something is wrong with it (it stalls when I try to play a song, and now when I turn it on a picture of an iPod with a frown shows up and says it needs to be repaired).  By the way, if anyone knows how much repairs might cost, please tell me!

I had a 40Gig iPod for about a year and a half, though I should really say that I had 3 iPods for a year and a half because the damn thing broke twice in that amount of time.  The harddrive died finally when it was out of warranty, so I bought a Zen V plus and I love it.

iPods suck because they can only be used with iTunes (or mp3s).

I have a Zen, and I use the Napster To-Go flatrate ... which means that for 15€/month I can listen to more than 2 million tracks. I wonder how much I would have to pay on iTunes to get 30-50 albums each month ... Wink

Although I do not own a Zen, I have used a friends. I found it a little difficult to use, and very bulky in comparison to the iPod.

I own a 20GB iPod that has been broken for many years and I can't upload any more music to it. Despite this I really like iPods, and it is my intention to invest in an 80GB one when I have the money to do so.
 
Does anyone know if there are any MP3 players out there with a hard drive which exceeds 300GB?? I'd like to know!

I've never seen an MP3 player with that much space, but I dont see the point anyway. You'd have to have a backup of that lot somewhere, unless you're going to risk losing it all. My MP3 player is 2Gb and can easily fit a couple of weeks worth of listening. I just put the stuff I feel like listening to onto it at the start of the week.

My Zen has 6GB ... and it usually contains 50+ albums encoded in 192kbps WMA (Napster) or ~240kbps mp3 (my own stuff and eMusic.com). Usually I simply review the list of albums from time to time, remove stuff I have listened to and add albums that I recently bought, or would like to listen to again.

I don't see the point of carrying with you your entire collection ... it would be kind of cool, but also a bit nerdy.LOL

It's funny, but you would think 20GB would be more than enough. I still have a hard time when reloading music. I go to delete things, and I hesitate. I use my ipod all of the time, and I like having a lot of options. I can't predict what I will be in the mood to listen to when I get out of work, or when I am traveling.

It's the same for me. Call me nerdy by all means but I like the idea of having my entire collection with me at all times so when the mood takes me to listen to something, I will be able to. It's annoying when you think of something but find you don't have it at the time.

I keep all of my music backed up on an external hard drive, so losing it from my MP3 player wouldn't be too much of a problem...But what if something quite terrible happens to my HDD? Don't want to think about it. Cry

I will never buy an IPod. I have listened to my mates and I believe my Creative sounds better, though I did upgrade the phones to Sennheisers.

I use a 2GB iPod Nano (the original version), and I'm not disappointed with it at all. I have never had any troubles with it, I have dropped it several times (not on purpose, of course, but by accident) and it has continued working splendidly. It got a dent in the back from one of the falls, but that hasn't affected it in any way. I do know of many people who have experienced troubles with their iPods, but the ones they have are older versions.

However, I have no experience with Creative players, so I won't claim that the iPods are superior to them. I have heard many good things about them, and I have been tempted to try them. The reason I haven't (aside from the fact that my iPod is still working perfectly) is their looks. Lookswise I don't really like the Creative players at all, some of them look okay but some look awful in my opinion. It might seem superficial to you, but I wouldn't want to buy one even if they are ten times as reliable as an iPod, even if one gets much more player for the price. But I'm confident that I won't have to replace my iPod quite yet anyway, and by the time I have to, Creative players might look better.

Indeed, the Ipod is said to be the best MP3 player in term of sound quality.

Creative Zen - Sleek Photo 20g - approx 5,000 songs (WMA), approx 2.500 songs (MP3)



Sound quality; V.Good; Well, that depends on the original file quality but I use a pair of Creative's in ear earphones, (£25 approx') in black so as not to hopefully arouse a mugger's interest.

The only fault that I have had in the year that I have owned it is that it sometimes 'freezes'.
Nothing that a pin pushed up the little hole won't fix!

The Creative software upgrades are very good too.

The only other downside is that a lot of mp3 players still don't play Flac files. But, then again, if you want it in Flac so badly, save up and buy the cd....and let 'em eat cake.

That's what I thought. Surely, since the music is digital, all players should play the files pretty much the same, but the quality of the sound heard is dependent on the quality of the headphones/speakers used.

iPod users can convert their FLAC files to Apple Lossless files (ALAC I think it's called). I convert to 256 kbps mp3 though for use with my iPod, if I was to have everything in lossless I wouldn't be able to carry more than two or three albums around in my pocket. Of course I still keep my FLAC files on the computer.


Posted By: rileydog22
Date Posted: March 03 2007 at 20:50
FLAC is WAYYYYY too bulky for me.  I use it primarily to trade bootlegs electronically (most traders will not accept lossy sources), then convert to 128 kb/s mp3's for listening.  I find that a 128 sounds the same to me as a lossless source, so I don't bother taking up any more space than that.

Posted By: MikeEnRegalia

No, I use an iPod, so I am forced to convert.  I would do it anyway, though.  My headphones are quite nice, Etymotic Research 6i Isolaters.  Top-of-the-line in-ear headphones.  And I STILL don't hear lossyness.  I guess that's good for me, though; more music in less space!

To be quite honest I don't like listening to music with headphones. They make my ears hurt and/or give me a headache. I plan to only use MP3 players for use in my car (when I've invested in a new iPod, stereo and speakers for my automobile). All very expensive but I spend a lot of time in my car so it's worth it I feel.
 
I just hope nothing like this happens...

Believe it or not, I cant even fill up a 4 gig nano. I had a 30 gb video ipod but never even came close to using all the space so when some men of low moral fiber made off with it and my car stereo, I just replaced it with a nano. Maybe I'm just too picky about what I listen to.Tongue

Haha, I just checked and I have over 47 gigs, and that's just my mp3's.  I also have gigs upon gigs of archived FLAC bootlegs.  It's best to keep lossless, just in case. 

Just in case of what, though, is beyond me.

I have an 80 GB Ipod.  I love it because I've got many many albums in ALAC format on it, and the sound quality on them is amazing.  right now I have about 2800 songs  equalling around 20-21 GB (because of the file size that comes with the lossless albums) and It's just great.  I also have about 7 GB of video files.  I dunno if I'll ever completely fill it up, but I'm gonna try my best to Tongue

My ears aren't really good enough to determine the difference between lossless and an mp3 @ 160 kbps or above. As long as its sampled at 44100Hz. Gotta have that Nyquist rate, because my hearing range does go pretty high which is a bizarre combination, I guess.

^ it depends on the music too. There are complex audio signals which are hard to compress, and simple signals which are easy to compress. Basically the more is going on in the music the more difficult it is to reduce the information without any audible change.

Here are some albums which are very difficult to compress ... try any of them (Lossless/CD vs. 160kbps mp3) and you'll most definitely hear a difference. I picked those because I rip the CDs using variable bitrates, which means that the encoder chooses higher bitrates for complex signals and lower bitrates for simpler signals, and those albums were the ones with the highest resulting bitrates.

I doubt I'd still be able to hear a difference. I had some bad ear nfections as a child, that scarred my ear drum and damaged my auditory nerves,;I even have to look up lyrics to most songs before I can understand what they are saying.  Ouch I suppose by complexity of the signal, you are mainly referring to production stuff?


Posted By: MikeEnRegalia
Date Posted: March 21 2007 at 10:15
^ no. The complexity of a signal is essentially determined by how many frequencies are active simultaneously ... the least complex signal is silence (obviously), the second least complex signal is one perfect sine wave (one frequency). All other signals can be thought as a combination of different sine waves layered on top of each other.  The more independent waves there are, the more difficult it is to remove information without affecting the quality. mp3 uses some tricks - some parts of the signal cannot be heard anyway for various reasons and can be left out without any problems. But when the desired bitrate is too low, the algorithm also removes parts which are audible ... particularly in high frequency sounds. Cymbals are a good benchmark.

Yeah, that makes sense. I haven't been able to tell a difference so far, but just to be sure I'll bump it up to 224Kbps, just in case I ever come accross something that it might make a significant difference on. I don't trust VBRs on account of I've heard ITunes does a craptastic job of making them. Coincidentally, I actually have a friend who refuses to listen to anything but wavefiles. He can't fit too much on his music player.Smile

Creative have too long a history of making crap soundcards for me to give them a chance (Ok, that's probably more my failing than theirs these days..!) and iPods are just overpriced for what they do. I've not seen anything to rival Cowon, although iRiver and Archos aren't bad. And Neuros, if you don't mind something a bit bulky.

All that said, I might end up working for a subsidiary of Creative next year so


Re bitrates/lossless compression, another interesting point is that noisier recordings are much harder to compress - that's not surprising from a technical point of view because of Fourier Transform and all that malarky, but it's counterintuitive because many people expect to be able to use low bitrates on poor quality originals, wheras it's actually probably likely to make more of a difference than on a quality modern recording...

"white noise" is the most complex signal ... a completely random mix of waveforms. Highly distorted signals come close ... that's why Industrial/Death Metal/Grindcore etc. are among the most difficult to compress signals. On the other hand classical music is really simplistic by comparison of the waveforms.

I have a no-name mp3 player I bought from Scan for £5.
 
It plays mp3, wma and wav - and sounds good enough.
 
It reads SD cards - so there is no maximum limit, I just take a couple of 4Gb cards around with me, and that's enough music for a week, at least...
 
Why buy the name?

I'll tell you this much:

The iPod, though ever-popular, has enough space to accommodate for my increasing collection of music that I simply cannot do without. It also allows me to (a) work out with it (b) carry on competitions for sports due to its nice size (c) accesorize more widely due to its popularity. The one killer for iPod is what kills most hard drives. It dies. The battery dies in about three years or so and costs $60 to be repaired by the factory, though I do mine myself for about $15. The customer service sucks and don't get me started on the finicky behavior of that red headed stepchild called iTunes.

The Zen, my brother has, and it gets caught up a lot in its processes and is more bulky and unwieldy. It IS lighter however because it is more of a cartridge than a hard drive. It DOESN'T use iTunes but it lacks the accessories that iPod has.

So really it depends on what you're willing to sacrifice I suppose. I love my iPod, but iTunes in itself makes me want to throw the thing in the garbage.

^Easier to buy a 500Gb hardrive for your PC (around £60-70 currently), store as much music as you like on it, then transfer organised lists onto SD cards that you can store in your wallet. Installing an SD card reader into your PC is simple - or you can get an external one that connects via USB as a drive - then you just drag and drop your media onto it.
 
If it's in your PC, and you have SATA, you can create an array of drives, so that your data is safe in the event that one dies. I think it's much better to have a centralised store and draw from that than store everything in a place that could easily get lost, stolen or damaged.
Just my take...

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

^ Currently I'm only using 2-3 GB on my 6 GB player ... 30-40 albums, encoded in very high quality. It only takes a few seconds to transfer an album to the player ... so all I have to do is to update the player every couple of days. I connect it to the PC and remove all albums which I have listened to ... and then I decide which albums I should listen to next and transfer them.

I have been having problems with my iPod as of late... It some times freezes up, or lags for several seconds.  Like I'll press pause and 15 seconds later the song pasues Thumbs%20Down  Of course, my 300 GB external HD being broken, which holds all of my music on my computer, is proving to be quite a hassle, as I can't update my iPod without the fear of Itunes being stupid and deleting the songs I do have on my iPod...

You can buy a decent plug and play external hard drive for the fraction of the cost of replacing a large hard drive IPOD.
 
Cert mentioned Scan earlier:

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=513017 - 320 GB ATMT GIGA Drive 1xUSB 2.0/1.1, 7200 rpm, 2MB Cache £77.25 £90.77
 
 
 
I bought one of these for about £80 from Scan (every so often they discount stuff as a Today Only special offer) and its excellent. I ahve two ATMT and can highly recommend their products.
 
http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/ - Scan  consistently sell PC stuff far cheaper on average than anyone else. They are also based in Bolton,which is the ultimate recommendation.Wink

ithink iPlods are a iPile of iPooh.
 
My 40Gb has been sent back to the customer service department in Amsterdamn three times. Apple don't repair and return your iPlod back to you - what this means is that my broken one was sent to Amsterdam and someone elses refurbished one was returned to me. So in reality I have had four different iPlods, three of which have broken-down with different faults. My daughter's iPlod mini suffered a similar fate.
 
And iTunes is iRubbish and the third party replacements are equally as bad. Why did Apple feel the need to re-invent a disc management system when both Mac OS and Windows have tried and tested one built-in.Angry iHubris. Evil%20Smile
 
iPah!
