I'm pretty happy with it on cost to feature basis. It's a Toshiba Gigabeat 40 gig. I wanted something that would play both wma and mp3 and I didn't want to be stuck with itunes. All in all it's got a lot of space and features for an under $200 player.



The only annoyance is the music transfer software. I had gotten to where i actually like windows media player 11 and was hoping this would sync with it since it's "play for sure" however it doesn't do a very good job, for one it only syncs on usb 1.1 and it doesn't syn the album art, it also seems to lose track of the songs it uploads and uploads them twice on occasion. so I switched to Toshiba's software, which transfer at 2.0 and it transfers the album art, however it's a bitch makin playlists and managing all the songs i have.



Found a cheap download site, about 3 bucks an album http://www.allofmp3.com pretty decent selection, they had a few rarities i was looking for like steve goodman and fred neil.

 

I have a IPOD mini somewhere in this house, I used it once!

 

i was using my handheld as an mp3 player which only gave me 2 gigs, so i figured screw it i'll sell that and get an mp3 player with some usable space.

 

Youse kids are so hip! I'm still getting used to not having to flip the CD's over like you did with vinyl.

 

Uhh, ok.

 

How do you play a certificate of deposit?

 

You don't play it, you watch it interestedly.

I've been told the ipods are really poorly made, i havent owned one. My decision was down to the toshiba or the creative and since the price of the toshiba being on sale was half, i figured i would give it a run.
