If anyone is after a c00l portable mp3 player I highly recommend the MPIO-DMG 128MB Silver MP3, WMA player, I bought mine from www.mp3players.co.uk It's really tiny, has good sound, drivers worked first time with no probs (w2k), and best of all it has a sexxxy BLOO backlit LCD. What more could you ask for?!?!?!
very nice, i like the look of the hard drive on reviewd on toms hardware that windows sees as a normal drive but then agian i would be happy with A mp3 plaer as i dotn have 1 :cries: :cries: :cries: poor me
I did consider getting the i-pod, I read an article saying that it's possible to connect them to a windows box. Only probem though is since it's a hard drive, this would be subject to skipping? I'll be using the mp3 player while cycling to work so I was also worried about bad sectors and things. I don't know much about usb hdd's though, that's just what I think IMHO.
it all depends i used to carry a toshiba sattelite in my ruckscak for college & as it had nearly 6 hrs batterlife i used to plug a pair of headphones in, set winamp running & put it in my bag & walk from my college to town, never skipped but 2 years later the drive failed due to damaged secors (then agian it was 2nd hand when i bought it & now a goof few years old i would not worry sereously i put a pc in my mothers car set up for monitorless mp3 playing (jsut a standard desktop p2 233 no fancy laptop hd standard 3.5 drive) & it ran in the boot of her car (peaugeot 306) & for the few months it was in there until i had to sell it, it never skipped, the drive was in perfect condition when i took the pc out even tho the machine was continually loading mp3's (wired up a control system fr it) so no they dont skip unless you are very violent & the drive should not be a worry, to connect an i pod to a pc you have to buy a firewire card & downlaod the software but a lot of it is all shareware so you may only get a month before you have to fork out for the software
I looked into getting an MP3 player once, they seem far to expensive to me, cant really afford £200 and I wouldnt want to get a cheap one, no point really
i got the Rio 800 64 meg version a while back, and what a pile of garbage it was until i got the new updated one. Their old one the headphone jack was the same size as the power jack, so one day not thinking about it, I accidently plugged the power cord into the headphone jack, needless to say about 10 weeks later I had a new one with a different powerjack style. Its a good player sure its kinda small and propiertary, but it was $125 so can't complain really.
I got me one of these suckers http://www.edigital-store.com/13-830915.html put me back $400US but it was worth it... i can carry around 3/4th of my mp3 collection where ever i go! :dude:
i got one of these. i wanna ad a blue LED insdie cept that itll kill the bateries, it get 8 hours on one AA batery. I LOVE the blue translucent body, so sexeh! Its served me quite well so far. Had no problems yet. OH but i did switch out the headphones as "ear buds" have NO bass whatsoever only $79 USD, 64mb built in and accepts up to 128mb smart media cards, and the soyo mobo im getting includes a card reader/writer in the sigma box. so im pretty happy edit: only complaint i got is that the grey middle button and side things are just paint on white palstic. so after the HEAVY use ive put it through the paint is getting thin in spots
/me empties wallet onto desk... I'd really like an MP3 player, discmans are way too bulky and walkmans are also too big...
I used to have a Siemens SL45, great phone AND a great MP3 player, and smaller than most standalone MP3 players too. Paid £190 for it about 18 months ago, sure they're cheaper now.
my dads a professional photographer and he has digital cameras with 1gb micro drives in. there fine when in the camera but if they are out of the camera the slightest tap destroys it. i dont know why it is any different in or out
I was lookin into buyin an iPod a while back when my second Discman died on me. I just got another Discman instead (financial reasons) but I wish I got an iPod. The thing is, the iPod uses 32meg of hard cache memory to store the songs in so it won't skip and takes the load off the Hard Drive. Simple You can get a 10gb version now too. I want one Anyways, if you wanted to use it on a PC you'd need: a) Some MP3s (haha) b) A Firewire MoBo or PCI Card. c) This Software :: http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/ /me cries
my currentl lovly portable is a minidisc player, http://212.250.57.233/pro_runproduc...iniDisc&subCat=MiniDisc+Walkman&Ire=&CatID=12 well its my brothers but as its only a player he has to use my recorder ( http://www.yamaha-audio.co.uk/homehifi/minidiscplayer/mdx-596/index.asp) to record mp3's so he cant really complain when i borrow his player can he
In fact all my hi-fi components are from Yamaha, they look so cool in black, I just wish they had BLOOO displays on them :/
well i like it & plus i got it for a huge makrdown from richersounds, the minidisc deck is fed into a technics component system but i can record from ys system due to the way its wired up give it a while, if you have the amp why not mod that to have bloo leds?
Very good idea! I've already modded my 32" widescreen with a bloo led And my guitar amp, lol I'm going bloo LED craaaaazzzzyyyyyyyyyy baby!
i once saw a yamaha amp with the case completly sprayed silver apart from the front, that looked good
