Brian says IPOD in one of his songs

They aren't trying to replace CD's as a commercial alternative.

They are complimenting the medium by making portable music less volatile and largely sized; whilst keeping the quality of the audio at its optimum with a storage capacity that betters CD's.

The computer files support is a definite bonus though on the new HiMD variant.

How much do they cost? And I'm sure one has to buy some sort of converter or burner deal? Plus something to play them on?

$$$

Depends where you buy it and whether you want just a player or a recorder model.

Personally I'm looking forward to when they stuff these...



Into these...



Given the marked improvement on mobile phone camera picture quality, inbuilt capacity is growing. Soon, you won't need that seperate iPod for storing all your music and photos and assorted oddments. It'll all be on your 'moby'. Including a TV tuner no less.

The future makes me salivate...

i'm currently looking into the Creative Zen...i'm liking it. i need something that holds all my mp3s

my friend has a MD player and swears by it. it's nice, just more than i really need. i like the old school normal cds myself



Rock on...

ipods are bad ass, and apple is not the devil. you just dont want one because they have over 60% of the market share. i thought most people realized that all machines built today are based on apple computers. they make the first move, and everyone follows. the mouse, the GUI, the not-beige case, and now the mini... dont be stubborn, try one and you'll realize they are more stable and better designed. I dont even own one and i know that.

I hate to piss on your bonfire there dude but Xerox invented the mouse. Apple nicked it. So Microsoft followed. Only the latter gave it a secondary button and scroll wheel.

Windows wasn't built to look pretty. It was built to have a function, hence why its extensive software library actually warrants buying the OS. The 'pretty graphics' have come later... as they should do; and the 'beige casing' has got nothing to do with Microsoft.

Macintosh systems are not only just as unreliable and unstable, but they are also extortionately priced aswell! And you just wait until you need spare or replacement parts. I can just nip to PC World. Maybe its different in the States but here you have to pay labour costs and send the damn thing away to a warehouse for repair if God forbid your precious Mac plays up.

I reluctantly use them in the Animation Studio here all the time. They are trendy, elitest lumps of plastic shite that do not warrant their price tag.

I for one don't pay that much of my cash for something that first and foremost, looks 'pretty'.

I will admit that Apple have an eye for good design, but their whoring of lacklustre machines for extensive profit enrages me.

Take the iPod Photo for example. Whats the point? What. Is. The. Point?

All that storage capacity and not only have they not bothered to put a camera lense on the back of it, but it also cannot playback footage, and the quality of the colour screen is worse than a mobile phone!

Ooh. I can look at a slideshow of my pictures. Here Mr. Appleman, here's all my money.

Ungh.

Sketch I agree but me daddy bought me one way. Uhmmm so has anyone seen that new commercial of that phone/camera/music player? It looks soo decent and its a wicked commercial too. If I remember correctly there was this really hott guy... yeah...



~*wOOt!*

Most are phone/camera/music players these days.

Soon they'll be phone/camera/video camera/music/tv/storage and gaming devices.

Funfun.

*sigh* When did the world get so fucking materialistic?

Nice Comment there w00t. hehe. Ok.. IPODS are excellent mp3 players, but hard drive players have their ups and downs.

Pros:

1. Capacity - The Largest storage mediums available

2. Multi Function - Many are used as portable hard drives etc etc.

Cons:

1. Weight - Ipods and all hard drive based players are heavy. Not heavy in a normal sense, but heavy compared to ALL flash based players. I would not reccommend an ipod for sports, excersizing, or any movement oriented listening experience.

2. Vulnerable/delicate - If you drop an Ipod, your also dropping a hard drive with spinning parts. Most hard drives (about 50%) will die or be damaged if you drop them while in use from a height of about 4 feet or more. I have seen sooo many ipods not working because of a drop. The Ipod itself not even having any cosmetic defects either.

3. Battery life - We all know Apple tries to promote long battery life, but lets face it, they die after time. Lithium Ion batteries are the best out there, but still need replaceing every soo often, and until recently, apple had no way of replaceing your battery. You still have to send it in and pay $$$ to get it replaced. My 3 year old 10GB Ipod that had 8hour battery life when i first got it has like a 1 hour life now. It costs 200 bucks to send it to apple and get it replaced.



These cons are very big issues that need to be addressed when deciding on which type of device to choose. I personally own 2 mp3 players. One flash based, and an Ipod... Depending on what im doing decides on which device i use. If I was going skiing or running or something, I'd use a flash based one. If i was jammin out in the hallways at school, I'd use my Ipod..

Nuff said
