Plus it has Wifi.

noted, but im not particularly interested in the wifi, i did much of the research the past few days i think the gigabeat will suit my needs the best.

Pish. iPod all the way.

bah, i have heard many bad things about those, plus i want a non-trendy mp3 player. also, i am amazed that you commented on one of my posts.

[garglesnuffer]

do you even remember me?

anyway, you can argue 'trendiness' all you want - bottom line is that the iPod is smartly designed and incredibly easy. That's why it's popular (plus the ad campaigns for it kick ass, gots to give credit where its due)

Granted, I own an iPod (an older model, pre-color screen era and still love it) and haven't tested any direct compeditor models myself, but I don't need to. Usability is outstanding and simple. You just plug it in, transfer songs through iTunes, either by auto syncing or drag/drop, eject and you're golden. That and I've been pretty happy with Apple.

Don't get me wrong - shopping around isn't a bad thing. Just don't throw the idea of getting an iPod out just because it's "trendy."

point taken, and yes i remember you. which is odd, concidering i havent even heard your name in over two years. and yeah, ill look into the ipod a bit more.

the brown zune is hott. too bad the reviews make it seem like such a huge waste of money. im in the market for an mp3 player as well. sounds like we're getting sibling rats and sibling music devices, eh? donchano

[exleper]

heh. seems so. if i was you i would look into the Toshiba gigabeat. wired gave it their editors pick award. even won out over the ipod. might be a possibility?
