MP3 Players

[SoCalGirl]

Alright, the last thing I posted before the GC boards went down was about MP3 players. I want to buy one but I don't know what "size" to get. What size do ya'll have? 125mb, 256mb, 516mb, 1G, 2G, 4G, 5G, 30G, 60G????


Also, I'm leaning towards a Sony or Samsung but am willing to consider iPod. Any pros/cons to not getting an iPod?

I have a pink iPod. So far it has worked great.

I got a 6 GB iPod mini....

My advice? If you can afford it, buy the size higher then the one you think you need...for the simple fact is, it gets annoying when you have to delete sogns off your mp3 player to go ahead and add new stuff. I wish I spent the extra $50 to get the 20 GB that was out then.

I got a 20GB for Christmas and I put basically every CD I have and every song I've ever downloaded onto it, and I still have 13GB left on it.

I have a 512Mb Creative Zen Nano. It definitely is not big enough. I just use it as a "temporary" MP3 player until I can get my Ipod. I wanted to get one before I left to go to Baltimore on a job interview, and this was the only thing that they sold in the school bookstore. But I totally agree with ruaalien2 that you should get a bigger one that you need because I always have to delete stuff off mine and I hate it.

The megabites(MB) or gigabites(GB) is mostly saying how much you can store in the MP3 player. The more MB or GB the more you can store in it. I have an Ipod Shuffle and it only stores about 130 songs (thats good enough for me....then again I only got it for $70 at wal-mart) and my sister has and Ipod (not sure which one) and stores about 200 songs. If you want to have a lot of songs I would suggest you go with one on the higher GB MP3s you can afford.

I'm confused about how much they really store though. I've heard that 1G will max out between 250 and 600 songs. That's a pretty big difference. I think I could deal with 600 songs but 250 sounds like too little.

the best way to figure out how many you need is to check the size of your music folder, it should say how many MBs you have

I got an iPod a couple of months ago, the 60GB one and I love it. It is WAY more than I need but was only about $100 more than the 30GB so I upgraded. I'm hoping to put audiobooks on it for travelling.

I have a Creative Muvo 256 mb player, and I absolutely love it! It fits tons of music (mine came with a software that allows you to change the size of the mp3s, and I can get like 4+ hours on my player, and still have plenty of space left). Plus, it's really easy to use, and I drop it all the time and the screen doesn't even have a scratch!
