    I personally couldnt live without mine, even though it dosnt hold enough music (20gb :cry: ). Ive got an ipod (my 5th one because they break so damn easy, and I keep getting them replaced, and I had one taken off me at school, then stolen off the teacher, so my school got me a new one :D ) Unfortunatly my garantee has run out, so next time it breaks im gonna need to buy a new one. :cry: (and no way am I picking an Ipod again) So, do you have one? Which ones would you recommend? My Ipod also has a cool pink rubber case/skin 8)

    *sniff* I only have an RCA Lyra it's sturdy but if you whack it hard enough it turns off and I keep blowing out the head phones..... I'm going to ask my parents for a REAL IPod that can fit THOUSANDS of songs so I can really enjoy the music! :D And introduce them to ITunes grrr So you say it breaks easy? And you don't want an IPod brand? Well I'll have to see what else is out there and find somthing really reliable!

    ho yeah bitches i've got the 512 mb Ipod shuffle. but the shit broke, i know i got it within the year so if anyone could help with a bit of information on getting a new one that would be damn appreciated. but it's decent, the shuffle will get you through a day or two of music and it's all just a matter of swapping songs and letting your ipod charge for a bit.

    I've got a 5GB Creative MuVo MP3 player myself 8) And it seems to be able to withstand a ride in the washing machine :D I wouldn't trade it for any other mp3 player :D

    I've got a 30GB Ipod Video with Invisi Shield. Invisi shield is by far the best case/protector for the ipod. I dropped my ipod while running, and when i picked it up, there wasnt a scratch on. Ipod Video (30gb) is by far the best deal out there so far. Don't bother with 60gb, focus on filling 15 first. The only thing about the ipod video is the short battery life when playing videos for long periods of times.

    Try putting it in the washing machine and see how long it lasts :twisted:
  7. cheese muffinSalvaged from archive9 Aug 2006, 03:06
    Try putting it in the washing machine and see how long it lasts :twisted: now thats just pure carelessness. i mean ffs... a washing machine. SOMEthing must have seemed wrong when you lifted up your shorts and it was a pound heavier on one side.

    Nah, his phone was in the other pocket...
  9. KitRaeSalvaged from archive9 Aug 2006, 03:32
    I wasn't careless!!...I just forgot it was in my pocket :oops: And I didn't lift my pants...I dropped 'em :) You must be very thin or wear very wide pants if you can take 'em off by lifting them :shock:

    Toshiba Gigbeat S 30GB Cowon iAudio X5L 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB These are all top quality players, flip a coin and choose. I would personally go with the Toshiba because it's brand new. Sony doesn't make a player over 8GB anymore, they discontinued the 20GB models and the software they bundle their players with is a joke. Avoid $ony.

Mine's black and do you have an expansion chip or whatever? Yeah the head phoens that come with it tore up my ears and always fell out! So annoying, I hate little bitty head phones that the makers claim will fit in anybody's ear.... Anyway I'm on my third new pair of head phones 'cuz I play the music so loud it blows them out (the left usually goes first) And my parents are EXTREMELY un informed about digital downloads.... they either think it's illeagle or my mom forgets what an IPod is... XD Anyway I'm going to introduce them to IPods tonight and tell them it's what I want for my birth day, and also if I get one I'm going to make them promise to let me download off the internet(If they don't I'll just steal), not get me a shuffle, and get some protection for it! But yes have you banged yours hard enough it shuts off yet? :lol:
  13. Commando80Salvaged from archive10 Aug 2006, 01:33
    Nah. Mines white though. I prefer holding down the OFF button instead of whacking it against something hard! :lol:

    Oh I see now.. It just slips onto the ground ....5 times... and shuts off? Yeah usually I'm walking around and the cord gets hooked on the door handle and it hits the door :oops:

  18. Rocker KidSalvaged from archive12 Aug 2006, 02:15
    They dont know.... Besides I'll be WAY more careful with an I Pod full of songs and you can buy things to protect them with. Hooray!

    got a new sansa thign is great but the fucking program is GARBAGE Forget the program, just sync it with windows media player... Also, I now love you for knowing the truth about the evil iPod conspiracy! Edit : I should add that I bought my mom and step-dad both a Sansa for Christmas and they're fantastic. I have an old MPIO that's worked well for me for years so I can't bring myself to replace it.

    really tho, i would NEVER touch let alone buy an ipod, their fuckin thieves, they force you to buy the itunes, which are only good for ipod. they make it next to impossible to use your own, already purchased music. i have always stayed with these babys http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/beercandle/hahaha/ne… they sell for around $50 - $100 on ebay and have a capacity from 128mb - 2gb. good enough for me, they even have a built-in radio tuner, and microphone so it could be used as a recorder for up to 12 hours of recording, and they played all the major formats without modification, mp3, wma, wav. they could even read ".txt" on its little lcd display. i once won a ipod, sold it to some guy for $50 bucks the same day, his loss my gain :wink: EDIT: sadly i no longer use my faithful mp3 player because my cell does all of the above plus calls :wink:

I tunes is free? As with music, I dont think I've ever bought a CD in my life. Plus, don't modern CD's use .mp3? I have the 30gb ipod video and the sony sound isolating earbuds. work beautifully :D except the buds keep falling off... But sadly to say, my Ipod broke in half, but it still works. (half as in the faceplate and the back metal part split). Does anyone know how long the warranty thing works?

Sony doesn't make a player over 8GB anymore, they discontinued the 20GB models and the software they bundle their players with is a joke. Avoid $ony. Ive got a sony 6GB model of the same variety that you're talkin about, have to agree that the software is probably the worst piece of software I've seen in my time, slow un-responsive and pretty much shit. However the mp3 player itself is pretty good, made solid...dropped it outta my car onto the pavement, stepped on it...dropped it walking....it falls all the time outta my pocket...Used it for 2years everyday non-stop...the battery life is incredible can last for DAYS and if you're one of those people who hate waiting for an mp3 player to charge with this mp3 player 3 mins of charge time= 5 hrs of playback...charge it for 2-3 hours and you're sorted for a couple days. Also like the visualisations on-screen and it feels good to hold...the chicks dig it too...the whole look of it is pretty nice...press a button lights will come on dim then bright...press the orange search button on the top right and it lights up orange....looks veryyy nice...also dims out too After more than 2 years of chronic use it still works and am still using it....except recently acting a bit glitchy randomly freezing but it has a small pinpoint reset button so I carry a thumbtack in my pocket all the time now...about a week ago it went back to normal and THIS morning it was acting up!!! Also developed a problem where I have to wrap the headphone wire around it or I wont be able to hear anything...anyone know any ways to resolve this minor problem??? Other than that...if youre clumsy and impatient and ARE able to deal with shit software then this is a good choice... software = 2/10 sound = 9/10 (converts to oma...bit annoying) looks = 10/10 durability = 10/10 practicality = 10/10
