Janson Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 if you're just after something to use while running/riding/excercising in general, just get whatever's cheapest. doesn't matter much, they're all the same really....

ScotchDave Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 And they won't skip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 i didn't think mp3 players could skip.....i thought it was only cd's, if they can't hahahahaha at you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfboy Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Most mp3's have flash (also known as solid state) memory so, as they have no internal parts will not skip. Largers mp3's such as iPod classic, photo and Creative Zen etc have a microdrive which is like a conventional hard disc but they have a 30 minute anti-skip advance read.

Tomm Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Solid state ones (Basically anything smaller than an iPod mini) can't skip. So yeah, any like that would be grand. I love my creative muvo, which is £40 ish for the 256Mb version from Dixons. It all works and it saves you buying dodgy ebay/ebuyer shite :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 how many songs do you get on your creative then tom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 how many songs do you get on your creative then tom? Usually 4 albums + a few other songs. Apple says 256Mb = 60 songs, which is probably about right. Which is fine for me because I just rotate them as and when I feel like it.

deagledaddy Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 To those of you considering NANO's you might wanna make sure you watch the news :huh: I saw a Creative 'sleek' it looked pretty tasty, think they are prolly a good alternative to IPOD mini's etc. As Tomm said if you want cheap just get the Muvo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 To those of you considering NANO's you might wanna make sure you watch the news :) Isn't it just some fashionable fags complaining that their pimpy new iPod got a scratch or two? Losers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
