Question about mp3

[docutech 10+ year member]

Here is my take on the issue:

The quality of the mp3 will only be as good as what it is compressed to/with. It will sound the same on an Ipod or Zune or what ever you use for playback.

The most important thing you have to keep in mind is compression. As you will the stickies in the forums, compression is the real killer of sound and sound quality.

1. Get the most amout of storage you feel you need/can afford.

2. If you are using original CD titles, use a good compression program that wil variably compress the music. (This is critical for an mp3)

3.Go HERE to get the best sounding mp3's. I used this program to convert all of my CD's to mp3.

PM me if you have other questions.

Thanks, I will check that out when I get home.

I will probably get those bass freq headphones adio reccomended. @ $35, it's not a bad price. That leaves aprox $170 for a player.

Sorry I cant help you on the headphones. I own the Bose noise cancelling ones and I love them. They are, however, a bit pricey.

Good deal. Now to find a MP3 player. I would think 2 or 3 GB would hold a lot of songs...but at good quality maybe not.

Looks like now I should be looking for offerings in the 4 GB range. ****. I will have more mp3 player memory than hard drive memory almost.

I was thinking about this one:

I have had good luck with Phillips products in the past and this one has a FM radio.

my opinion: don't buy headphones until you are for sure dissatisfied with the stock headphones that come with your player.

mp3 player: pick what you want and read some reviews on it to make sure it's not cr*p.

okay...so I bought me this creative mp3 player.

So where do I download songs? My little brother says I cannot use Itunes because they have different codes.

you can, u just have to find software that converts the songs to an mp3, wav or ogg format
