Barbra Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Yo dude...you can buy an ipod shuffle for 50 squid my friend. They hold 230 odd songs i think so they arn't that bad Look on the official site for further details.i'm at school and they have lots of gay security bollocks that block sites and right click and what not. You can't even use the 'run' command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 tip : never buy anything from apple - they are a bunch of bounders and cheats. over rated and overpriced.....shuffles are terrible.At the moment Ive got a samsung 2GB flash jobbie - which was about 80 quid - its pretty mega. ditch the headphones for some sennheisers and you are sorted. Im sure there is more out there now though so just take a good look round. stay away from companies like apple and sony.... as they use dire software and have music protection bollox which is sheite.although that being said - if you want battery life and pretty good sound get a sony flash player (although the down points are really appauling software and super slow transfer...)- 80 quid gets you 1gb and about a week of continuous play - or at least did a while ago...

Ive got about 50 hours of music on mine, which is coincidentaly how long the battery lasts too, and its also as light as a mouses fart, and cheapish too, so its a good buy i'd say.

One other cool feature is how quickly it charges up on the lower levels, 3 mins charging (plugged into a USB)= 3 hours of battery life, very handy if your on the move.

RandomHero Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Get one of these. Ive got one myself, they are great.Because they are so small you can carry it around without even noticing.The lrgest size they come in is 1gb but thats good for around 600 songs as it uses ATRAC3 compression. Sony NW-E99you can find them on ebay a bit cheaper as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'll actually vote for a shuffle.I got bought one by my step brother for Xmas, and was a bit weary at 1st, but it's actually really good.Battery life is great, I charge it up like once a week!Holds at least 250ish songs, more if you compress them a bit.Tough as hell, mine's dropped out my pocket, been run over, and smashed, but still works brilliantly.Cheap.Easy to use, especially when you're on your bike etc, as you're not distracted by the screen.Very light weight.

deagledaddy Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I would vote for not using MP3 players at all. They are bad for your hearing, a fad, dangerous... would defiantely not suggest you use them for riding etc.Maybe I'm jsut a sad old man eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to emails for it.LinkIf you go through them and kick up a fuss you'll be suprised at what you can get, it didn't take too much persuading to get them to replace my 4gb Zen Micro with an 8gb Zen MicroPhoto. Threaten to write to papers (and watchdog type program or whatever it is) as it has happened to so many people and simply ask for you're money back. Chances are they won't give you your money back but will upgrade you.MaxEDIT- A few more contact details with a phone number.:Sarah FulthorpeEuropean PR ManagerCreative Labs EuropeTel: +44 118 982 8217 Edited May 21, 2006 by rad2themax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nugent Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I'm looking for a new mp3 at the moment as my mini is a pile of crap really. The battery only lasts about an hour (and that's with leaving it on hold and not touching it - if you play around with it and keep changing the playlist etc the battery only lasts 20-30 minutes sometimes) DO NOT BUY AN IPOD MINI.What i'm looking for is something that is not to highly prices, holds about 1000+ songs and has a good long battery life.

I like the one tomturd has and I know a few people who have them but I don't really have that much to spend on an mp3 player to be honest - I need it to keep my bike going at the moment.
