mp3 players

[simplesine 10+ year member]

I was considering getting an ipod so i could use it in my truck, but after learning i could not record the songs at full quality on an mp3 player and the ipod has a horrible battery life (and not to mention fragile), I decided I would look into a flash player for headphone use. I have looked into many different brands such as Sony, Rio, Creative, RCA, etc., and the Creative looks like a very good buy. (1gb)

Does anyone have experience with Creative and does this look like a good buy? I know it's kind of expensive for 1 gig but it looks to be very well thought out. Any input? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you can play full quality AIFF files on an ipod.. if your worried about the quality.

as far as battery life goes.. the mini goes 18 hours. How is that a horrible battery time?

iPod & SQ is an oxymoron...

lol You're funny, $900 earbuds????????? Are you crazy?

And ipods from what i have gathered are nowhere near cd quality, but for headphone use, the difference is hardly noticeable.

Good to see that Sony decided to support MP3, what a joke when they didn't.

ipods are bad for SQ? i am about to get an alpine deck so i can interface it w/ and ipod. are you saying that a 192kbps song on an ipod is worse than a 192kbps song on a cd-r?

uhhhhhh...what did i say that was dumbshit. Basically all i was saying is that the lesser quality is less noticeable when listening to them on headphones (excluding $900 ones //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif ) as compared to listening to them on your car's stereo.
