What MP3 player? - Page 2

There is no denying that the UI on the iPod is fantastic. I'm not anti them as such, just not pro them. I dislike the way they restrict the formats you can use as I've got a lot of stuff in FLAC and OGG which unless I install 3rd party firmware the iPod can't play.

I don't want an iPod because I want to be able to drag and drop. That's the only reason

I'm not anti iPod at all.

Some people seem to be liking the Zune and the battery life is rather good so I hear.

a) I don't like AppleMacs>Apple>iPods - never have since I used them at Uni for my Video modules and they caused me much stress and were so backwards in being forwards, simple and always had 'unexpected errors' with no reason... and I had to stay at Uni over Easter hols to complete my project because they kept crashing.

b) A number of people have had them and have had to replace/repair them... I think my boss is on her third.

c) OOooo its pink! I must get it! Oooo its on Sex and the city woo... ok enough already!!!

I don't doubt that Macs are great for Photoshop and Imaging/Video stuff but I just don't like them and have had many a Mac vs PC debate in my time

In my lst job they all used macs but I refused so they got me a pc and I ended up having both :/

The new iShuffle ad is very good though.

I would have agreed with you up to the point the Intel Macs came out. The fact that you were then no longer tied to just running OS X on them made them a worthwhile consideration.

With you on the iPod though. Too many issues with scratching, cracked screens, whatever.

I'm going to get myself the Creative Zen Vision : M in black with my "cigarette money" I've saved

I love this MP3 although I think it might be a bit chunky for the gym, it'll be perfect for travelling and I've wanted it since before it even came out!

iTunes is bloaty crap, which is why I avoid the iPods I'm afraid. Heard good things about the irivers fwiw
