"Time for a new MP3 player..."

My old NAPA one got nicked. Shame really, I'd jus**t managed to s**tretch my pockets so that it fitted!

Anyway.

I considered an IPOD but I don't want to pay £300 for one. (Cheaper one doesn't give you the headphones and charger!) probably a no-no.

Then there's the Creative Jukebox Zen which I can get for £265 and it will las**t me long time. Sounds good too. Still, rather pricey but I won't need to replace it for ages.

Then we got the cheaper MP3-CD players. The one by Mercury seems to be sh*t and and Goodmans on seems to be cheap and nas**ty. Don't really want to was**te £40-£50 on one of these if they're crap.

I don't want a normal MP3 player as it doesn't hold enough songs for my liking and the memory cards are expensive.

What do I get?

Hmmmmm.

It says they're Philips.

Get an iPod, you must you must.
Save everything, sell your neighbour's house.
Yup yup.

The headphones provided with the iPod are CRAP. I use my own Sony ones.

The charger is useful but I personally just use the firewire cable on my PC which you have the iPod into to charge it.

The new slim iPod is sexy, get it.

no, headphones.

Monkey boy.

AMAZING sound quality.
Great price
looks sexy

Still a bit frustrating compared to the 150+ on one CD, but it's a lot smaller than a CD player.

I'm just trying to help. :D

Don't forget the other 64mb built in.

That should give you around 49.5 songs.

A random selection from my collection (it rhymes!) gives me 33 songs to 126meg.

So that's like £80 for the songs I've already got on my PC, plus more for the CDs I've gotta burn and redownload the songs that I didn't have backed up on CD.

I want it all on one disk, nice and easy.

128mb can hold 128mb of songs.

It's stupid when people give numbers, like when a guy in a shop told me I could get "21 songs on one of these 700mb discs". I just said to him "what if I have one song that's 80 minutes long?"

Haha. The look on his face was great.
Anyway. The amount of songs you can get on 128mb depends on how long the songs are/how big the files are.

Using a 128mb card with the NAPA gives you 192mb anyway, since it's combined with the inbuilt 64mb.


I can get about 45-50 songs on 192mb, although it's not uncommon for some of them to be more than 7 minutes long :-/ Average song length is about 4:30-5:00 minutes.

128 MB can hold alot of songs cant it? and it dont cost that much, £20 or so...
