I'd love an iPod, but that is out of budget :D I'd like something small and lightweight, I think even something like 256mb would be enough for me. ~30 songs or so is fine if it keeps the price down. Anything under $100? that would be awesome, hit me with your ideas! |
||||||||
|
|

|
oh, long playback, over 10 hours, is a must too am I being too demanding/cheap? tell me no........... |
||||||||

check out amazon.com and read the customer reviews |

256 MB for under $100? No way you'll get a new player for that. You can get good CD mp3 players for $100 but then you sacrifice battery life. |

I paid about $40 for my Sony Discman CD player, and it runs about 40 hours or so on 2 AA batteries |
||||||||

I own a riovolt. One day my portable cd player broke down and I needed a new one. Riovolt has some nice ones. If you don't need the cd / cdr support why not wait a little longer and buy a big f*kker like them Ipods? I bet they'll outlast you. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you should do as loeser says... or buy a MD... they are much better than flash-card based mp3 players imo |
||||||||

I'll soon be looking for an mp3 player I can have in a car |
||||||||

i was looking forr one once, but then em... stopped |

sorry i didn't realize you were not looking for a harddisk model |
||||||||

I assume HD is better than a flash card or something, but anyone know something in my budget? I'm sick of burning ~15 songs onto a CD to play everywhere. Mp3 is just what I need, but I want VALUE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
value = inexpensive *cough* |

I'm tempted by one of these.... .... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I own a Riovolt myself. How about ? I like it because it's firmware upgradable. Plus that it plays MP3 cds as well as my normal CD's. Plus it helps keep my HD clean because everytime I have 700MB's worth of mp3's I burn it on a cdr. I don't exactly know how long it will last on batteries but I CAN tell you that on my model playing mp3's seems to cost less energy than when I play a normal cd because a with a normal cd the cd needs to be spinning and with an mp3, once it's loaded the cdr stops spinning. |

i bought one of these http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shopping/pages/buytreo1 0.html ugly and nasty but wellll cheapo! best value hard drive player - it does the job |

Jedi Chris has got one of those- very small, like a ciggy lighter- really would be easy to carry about with you everywhere you go just like your wallet and keys. The ability to use it as a driver free portable USB HD is sweet too. They're very simple in design- no bells and whistles, but there's a nice purity about them. I'm considering one myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That looks pretty tempting, very good value... |

I have a 60 gig Zen Jukebox its a little bigger than the ipod, not much, BUT its SOUND IS WAY BETTER AND IT IS HEAPS CHEAPER, AND YOU CAN JUST PUT IN A BIGGER LAPTOP HD LIKE I DID EASY! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooooooooooh, I like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, I found the 128mb model for $115 with free shipping, I think I'm going to get one. I've been wanted to by a USB drive too, so this is sweet city. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
12 hours of playback is better than an iPods 8, though my Discman does about 30. One AAA battery compared to 2 AA 28grams isn't bad either. Hell, I think I'm going to order this right now :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, GameCube & Discman now up for sale. Hope to get about $220 for both (the GC comes withe games & controllers fwiw) then buy this little treat for $115, and have $100 left. oh yeah, going to buy this guy right now! thanks for your suggestions Jand, this is exactly what I was looking for =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

ok, sorry for all the posting, but I just bought it. Retail is $149, I got it for $115 (128mb) from free shipping, should be here in 2-3 days. SWEET! First big purchase (kinda) in a long time, boy have I been saving my pennies :D thanks again jand! |

.a while later. no one is as excited as I am that I found what I wanted..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I just received philips spam in the mail and they just launched a new mp3 player as big as a lighter. You can store 128 mb and up to 2 hours. If it's not too expensive I;m suerly gonna buy it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweet blatant, i'd like that, give a prreforrmance rreporrt will ya, when you've had it a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, got it today, and it'r pretty much just what I wanted. It's tiny, and weighs basically nothing, even with the AAA battery in. I have ~28 songs on here, long big songs, and a couple of school files. No more floppies for me. This thing is great, the earphone that come with it are the only lame part, but I have better ones, so this is rocking me, woot! |
||||||||
|

doesn't surprise m eknow one cares anyone, had this in the library for a couple of hours today, and it was fucking ace. It's so fucking small, man, this is a great day for BlatantEcho |

I bought the 64Mb version of the Creative Muvo.....but it developed a fault and I'm returning it for a refund. I've just ordered the 256MB version. I know there are larger capacity devices for not much extra, but I don't want to have to carry around with me something the size of a MD or Discman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is the 128Mb version but it looks the same as the 256Mb. I also like the way you can buy different coloured battery cases for it. |

My phone is an MP3 player and it only cost me £40 for a 256MB SD card to go with it. Some soldering on a headphone lead so I dont have to use a 3.5mm adapter was a choice I made. I can watch divX movies on it as well :D |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Which phone is that? |

|
|

Motorola MPx200 Windows Smartphone. |

Chris, isn't that the one your sister has? Ecnad: I've got mp3 functionality on my phone too, but as it's only 32mb, I never use it. |
||||||||

Yes |

Fucking sweet phone it is, especially when you decert and start writing your own apps for it, or installing ones other kind people have made :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've had a play on it and I love the UI. Like a version of "XP CE". I give it about 5 years before almost all mobiles are actually small hand held pcs with phone functionality. It'd be sweet to have an RJ45 port on it to network it with your desktop machines (rather than USB it to one) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plus it has a GB and NES emulator available for it :D Fuck the N-Gage :P Plus the MPx220 is going to be able to network over Bluetooth...so shared wireless broadband internet :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you have the emulators for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He he, I find I play on the NES emulator on my GBA far more than GBA games :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep...there is tons of stuff available for it...just go to http://smartphone.modaco.com/ which is an absolutely brilliant site for all things smartphone :D |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks....I'll pass the link to my sister, as I don't actually have one of these phones myself. |

i recommend the creative jukebox 2, thats what i have. reasons i like it: it looks like a cd player so people are less inclined to steal it, it has 10 GB of space, and it was 200 dollars. Thats more than you want to pay, but its a good investment i think. battery life is 12 hours on 1 Li ion rechargable battery. I've had the battery for about a year and it hasn't worn out in any noticable way. if it does i can buy another one on the creative site for 50 dollars (!), but i dont see that happening any time soon. |

whats up with this obession for things to be tiny? I don't get that. I have a mp3 discman and that's fine, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just wanna carry an mp3 discman around.....with something as small as the Muvo NX I can put in it my pocket and forget it! |
||||||||
|
|

This is what I got... cost me $78 total ($68+$10 for S&H).. It's 128mb of memory with a backlit lcd screen.. runs on 1 AAA battery. Since it's a pen drive it doubles as removable storage, which I use in my Music Tech class.. so for me it's pretty economical. (1/3) |
