Stalker Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) I plan to purchase a new mp3 player and tend to buy an Ipod mini with 4 or 6GB. What's your experience with the Ipod mini? Or do you recommend other mp3 players (preferably with the same capacity)? Edited April 4, 2005 by Stalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR_32 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I personaly love my iRiver iFP790, its only 256mb of Flash memory however. (There are similar models with 1GB of storage; iFP799). I have taken a look at the iRiver HD models (the HD10) at some stores and liked what I saw and heard. http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/hd/h10_blue.aspx http://www.iriver.at/harddisc_player.html?...iew=package&L=1 It is however more expensive than the iPod mini (well at least here in the US).

Rocky Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 It's a iRiver we've got too, it's pretty good although maybe a bit overpriced. 900 series There's another thread here somewhere about mp3's, you might find some tips in there too.

Pfarrer Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 No experience with the Mini, but I've got a 2.5 year old iPod which is still going strong despite lots of use and abuse. They're built like tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giampi Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I love my packardbell pendrive. Only 256MB but sufficient for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avey Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Ipod 4th generation 20GB for me. Love it, worth the money and iTunes makes sending music to it easy. I'd stay away from Sony, SonicStage (their version of iTunes) is to put it bluntly, crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chems Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I have a Ipod mini 4gb, just got it a couple weeks ago, the Battery life is pretty good, depending on how loud you play it, for instance on the plane it was played very loud but it lasted a long time. 4gb for me is enough, the 6gb versions release made the 4gb so much cheaper. But the best part about the Ipod is the Itrip, just got one yesterday, its a little FM transmitter they are illegal here in the UK so I got mine of ebay from America its excellent, I had my car, and 3 radios in the house all playing the Prodigy its like running my own radio station! Sound quality isnt 100% but its good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly2442 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I've heard good things about iRiver. The only bad thing about iPod is that if the battery dies you basically have to buy a new one. At least that's what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces21 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I've had a Dell Pocket DJ for the past couple months and I love it. Same storage as the mini Ipod (5GB) and it was 50 bucks cheaper, and with that $50 you could buy Dell's 20GB equivalent.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chems Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) @avey, I never have it on, it came with it set off, I only turn it on when its dark by holding down Menu. Mainly with the iTrip in the battery life can be short. But its more the battery meter, it was on 0 for 2 hours yesterday before it stopped.] I hear playing the games really uses it up as well.
