is it worth getting an ipod? what mp3 is best any brand?

daniel-2412

my wife goes on about ipods but from what i hear you can only use i tunes for these is this true? if so does this mean you cannot take music off your computer and put onto your ipod? so if this is right then which mp3 does everyone think is the best mp3 player on the market and not too expensive please and hopefully somewhere i can get money off vouchers for, as always thankyou for all your help.:beer:

Hi Daniel
I am an i-pod convert - I just love the style and function.
You can only play music set up for an i-pod - i-tunes for the commercial stuff.
However, the free i-tunes software will convert CDs to the correct format.
i-pods are a bit more expensive than some MP3 players (Zen seem to be the most recommended alternative) but I think they are the best.

Personally I wouldn't touch any that aren't made by Creative. The Zen is my favourite.

mostly

sheep buy ipods, go creative or samsung. The best being iaudio.

I like the look of the nano but it's so think I'd be scared of breaking it. My OH bought me an MP4 from Maplins for under £25 and it's great!

Mine's a Creative Zen - wouldn't swap it for anything! I've had it a couple of years, it's dropped regularly, still works perfectly, except for the teeny crack on the plastic... Doesn't affect the hard drive tho! Can be loaded from any music programme you fancy, in fact, you can just do a file dump from MyDocs if you want to. And the sounds quality is great. They're a bit chunkier than the iPods, but...
