Needing Help [+Rep]

[Craig]

Yeah I couldn't dig up my old thread so I need recommendations for iPods/mp3 players/portable music devices. It needs to be atleast 4 gigs and not rip off prices. You need to give some advantages/disadvantages and provide some links of where to buy them! I will need anything upto 30gig space;) So go for it....whatever;)

[Axel]

Lol Craig, 30gb 200 quid. Exactly right my one :p

Kay. You have to be careful while charging/uploading songs to your iPod Nano, as if you unplug it..half the screen goes fuzzy (My friend did it..).
It also scratches easily.
Advantages...it's very sexy.

Right, firstly, in my opinion, don't get anything by Apple, I now bear a personal grudge against them, long story, i'll tell it if you want...

But me, I personally have the Creative Zen Vision atm:

Priced around £230 and holds 30 Gb, it's well, sort of top of the range atm, and i've had no problems so far...

[Craig]

Tell me what happpened with Apple then please;)

Go for the iPod video.
Ipods own :]

[Craig]

It's always between the Creative Zen+Ipod for me. I mean I can get 10more gigs and video playability for £40.

Right, about 15 months ago I got a 40 Gb iPod for christmas, bear in mind at this point, they had no colour screens. Right so everything was happy happy for about 12 months until the problems started...

The battery died on me ;[

And, knowing my luck, my iPod was out of warranty. All iPods have 1 year warranty which in my view isn't long enough. Right, so I though meh, o well, I love my music so i'll pay for the repair, although I was annoyed. £75, hmm o well, could be worse, I paid it, and sent it off. A few days later, I get a call, Elliot, there's actually 2 things wrong with you're iPod, you're going to have to pay another £110. At that point, I was fuming, I asked for a refund as they didn't tell me this in the first place. So I got my iPod back with no repairs done on it, all I head was a head full of stress.

So now my iPod is just gathering dust on my top shelf.

But then, I still thought I love my music, so that's when I bought the Zen...

Right, THE END.

That's bang out.
Thats like taking your car to get repaired
and they say I have to fix the exhaust it will be 20 pounds, you pay them and then they go, Oh and we have to fix the engine aswell that will be 80 pounds instead and you have to pay it.

[crash]

nano 4gb is more than enough i think. just remember to get a case for it. ;>

You could get a mp3 phone. Like the Sony Ericsson and put a 5gig memorystick in like I did.
