Are there any good alternatives to Ipod that you've tried or used?

 

I don't have any qualms with Ipod. I mean it's really the world's digital audio player of choice. While that is well and good, it also means that the passenger seating beside you is listening to his ipod, and so is the person in front of you. Everyone in class has these familiar white earphones plugged in.

 

Sometimes, just sometimes, I don't want to be just a face in the crowd.

 

Only last month, I bought this rather cheap, 2004-model $90 digital audio player. I'm not into videos, but I crave disk space for my audio files. Well, a 5 Gig gadget would suffice, considering that a lesser-capacity Ipod would cost much higher than that. And the sound quality is all right.

apparently the creative zen is great. i have a 4 gb mini, which is too small for my music library, and i'm an audiophile (high kbps) and a friend has a zen, they are great, good interface, plus they have an inbuilt fm tuner/recorder, only downside is the lack of accessories that ipod has...

^are you referring to creative zen micro?

 

i heard creative includes lots of extra functions in every player. it seems like a very smart choice.

Creative Zen Micros are a good choice, but the creative software is a pig's ear. It's the same with Sony's, good players but their SonicSound (or whatever it's called) software is rubbish.

Yes, I agree....Creative have always had very unpredictable software. And they are very bad at customer care - in my experience.

^Which is why you're better off with a "cheapy"!!:D

Yeah don't buy an i-pod,there are much better alternatives out there

But the better alternatives have dodgy customer support and dodgy software.

Oh well you cant have it all aye....

It's good if you want to be tied into using the Zune store.

:lol: I was going to say we asked for I-pod alternatives,not spam...

Erm... have you guys seen the new ipod touch screen? It has internet... it's like an Iphone..just without the phone.

The iPod Touch is a tad expensive at the moment for what it is.
