MP3 Players

I have 300 dollars to buy a MP3 player which i desperately need.lol... If u know the best 1 i could get with 300 dollars, feel free 2 post .. (IPOD Nano is what i have in mind, i care about style more then the important specs like how much memory... 1GB is mimnium though..

oops wrong place to put this..thread i think....

i would get an IPOD, IPOD mini, or IPOD nano lol. they kick ass and are reliable, ahve great sound. IPOD is definitly most space for music. the ipod mini can look cool if you like any of the colors. the nano is defiintly cool to. the normal IPOD can have lots of things like colored covers etc. to look cool. another thing is accesories, im not sure what kind of ipod can use certain accesories but you might wanna look into that

yah but im lookin for a mp3 that can get music from anysource, so far ive found one but its looks isnt appealing. or to me atleast it isnt

you can get music from any source with ipod. But if you use itunes, then you can only USE that music on an ipod.

I think u shoul get an iRiver H10, it's very nice. I have one. But i don't knwo the price, but it's worth checking out

Ty ppl so far i have 3 i like alot, ipod nano, samsung YH-J70SB( would get this but would cost me all i have, u guys should look @ this too its so cool), and a sony something.

Creative Zen Micro ftw!

*me nods*

I have to throw my hat in the ring for the ipod. The "total package" of the ipod+itunes for management/content is great. The ipod by itself is a very good mp3 player, but once you factor in itunes (for ripping, burning, web radio, podcasts, video casts, music purchases, etc. etc.) it is unparalleled. You can, of course, do most of these things in other ways, but not from a single, polished and unified application.

If you plan on downloading music from any legal source besides the itunes music store, an ipod will not play it.

If you plan on downloading music from the itunes music store, only the ipod will play it.

If you plan on downloading music from illegal sources, I hope hyenas eat your kidneys.

1. Assuming you mean a protected WMA file, this is true. You can, however, play downloaded legal music in most other formats. Admittedly, most large music stores use protected WMAs, but if you own an ipod why would you buy from them rather than itunes anyway? Unprotected WMAs will work fine (they are converted to AAC I believe).

2. You can burn to a CD and play the music anywhere. You can even re-rip the music in some other format (mp3, etc.) if you really want to.

3. Mmmm fava beans.

hey, just because I'm broke doesn't mean I should self cannibilize!

I personaly like the iAudio X5 by jetaudio, for a portable.

forget apple's media formats and products too monopolized.
