hey there, i'm looking for some help. I'm trying to find a good mp3 player that has about 80-120gb worth of capacity. I know that there is the ipod classic, but i've read that it has got some audio issues and such. Also, i'm not a big fan of iTunes. I know many of you say that iTunes is really well, but i really prefer click and drag. The iTunes will convert all my songs to folders i don't really want and need. and many of my songs won't list in order in iTunes, so i'm looking for alternatives. If there's really nothing else, i wouldn't mind going for the classic and giving it a try, but i really like to find alternatives. Please help.
There's always the Zune from Microsoft. I have never tried it ... mainly because I never had the need for mp3 players.
If iTunes is the only thing thats really holding you back in buying a ipod classic then I would suggest you use mediamonkey to organize and sync your music with the ipod.
Is there any particular reason why you need it to hold that much data? Even if you're listening to lossless audio, 120gb is a ludicrous amount of space for music.
stop talking fanboy, why is the ipod the best, youve never used a zune either. i have a zune 80, its a good mp3 player, better screen than ipod and longer lasting batteries, on top of that you can open the zune easily and change the battery, when the ipod battery dies thats pretty much it and that may happen witin a year if you use it much MP3 players are really mp3/mp4 players so they tend to have movies and video on them along with photo albums. though it has a large capacity you dont ever want to use it all, its allways best when you can put whatever you want on there and there still be plenty space imo
From the sound of it, he doesn't really seem to be interested in video so that rules one of the big space eaters. Unless he's going to be transporting software around on his mp3 player, there really is no reason to buy something that large for audio and image files.
haha guys, i may use it as a hdd to upload pxrn, or put other videos in it, but that wasn't exactly the main reason. The thing is, I own about 70 to 80 gb of music =P haha.well, after discussing with a frend, i came to the conclusion that I'd go for the ipod as it seems a tad better. But now the question, taking in size, functionality and price, touch or classic 120? touch: a bit bigger, but much more functional, comes with a price tag classic: big (though thin i'd have to say), straight music, much much cheaper. What'd you say?
Classic is alright at videos; For the Touch, there's the added novelty of apps which I find a good and bad thing - fun but its bad for procrastination. Videos do look excellent though on it IMO. If you're going to use your MP3 for music primarily, get the Classic. There is also the Archos players that does offer up to 160 GB.. But that was like a year ago and I haven't been checking the DAP market since then. Just a Q... do you really listen to 80 Gb worth of music? Or do you just like having the music there and having the ability to listen to it when you feel like it?
Plenty of people hoard music. It would take you weeks to listen to all that music, but its always nice to know that you have a wide variety music to listen to whenever you want.
The touch only goes up to 32 gb. It would be really expensive to have a touch 120 gb...imagine if you dropped that lol.
you might not believe it, but i do. I own a sony 8gb mp3 player at the moment, and a lot of times i just cannot take the fact that my music is limited and i cannot play the type of music i feel like playing. That's why i want to get a big one. 8 is too small, 16 probably as well, 32 touch is waaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive. in uk 280 pounds for a 32 touch? so i was thinking for the classic, but i want to be convinced i'm buying the correct thing.
lol all jokes aside don't worry man i understand i have well over 100gb of music on my comp too hehe..... i think 32gb flash mp3 is like 200 bucks now though although of course its not ipod or zune haha (but you can expand with sd and probably add 16gb for about 30 bucks). i don't really think you have to carry 80gb-120gb of music with you unless you going on a long trip to the middle of nowhere but then your library would be prehistoric and the battery would die before you go through that much music haha. example there 64gb flash player for 270
