Low Price Apple iPod 10 GB White M8709LL/A (1st Generation)

This is one of the best generation of iPods I have ever seen. It is what people now consider the "old" iPod even though it's really only 2 or 3 years old. 10 gigabytes holds about 2,000 songs at near CD-Quality. At 10 hours of battery life you can enjoy music on the road or on a plane ride. This is pretty thin especially for a 2nd-Generation iPod. It is .78" in depth while the new 4th-Generation is .57. The battery life in the new generation is 12 hours so there is only 2 hours in difference. This iPod has a scroll wheel. It's much better and not mechanical like the first generation. It connects either through FireWire or FireWire 400. It's mostly metal at the top and there is a cover for the connectivity ports, unlike the first-generation. There was a 10GB and 20GB version for Mac or Windows. Now all the iPods can be compatible with Mac and Windows. It comes with MusicMatch Jukebox as it's software which isn't too bad but iTunes is much better. What is included in the package is the iPod, case, remote control, connectivity wires, power adapter, and software. It costed me around $399.99 which is extremely expensive but back then MP3 Players were still pretty new. It's 6.5 ounces which isn't too bad but is still kind of heavy. You should look into the iPod but not this one. Look into the new fourth generation iPod or any kind of iPod you want. But this 2nd Generation iPod is one of the best iPods in the 4th generation collection.Get more detail about Apple iPod 10 GB White M8709LL/A (1st Generation).

Save Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red)

This unit is small and easy to use. My kids can easily sort their songs and load their songs..I did have some trouble loading movies onto it...but I am not that technically savy. My friend did load a movie on it for me but said he had to go through a few steps to do it and was a little tricky. The sound is great and the battery seems to last long and recharging is easy since I just keep the plug by my laptop. Great for the money!Get more detail about Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red).

Discount 4GB Kanguru Micro MP3

This gadget is a perfect player for the non-tech savvy person. No sync-ing required - just click and drag. The sound is good and it holds a lot of music. The downside is that of course it does not shuffle. I got around this by doing a big shuffle with my I-Tunes library and then slapping a number in front of each title as I dragged it into the player. Extra work, but it beats hearing the songs alphabetically. I bought several of these for my relatives. They'll be great for listening to while mowing in the hot summer sun! If you want a no-frills MP3 player, this is the one for you.Get more detail about 4GB Kanguru Micro MP3.

Cheapest Creative Zen Micro Photo 8 GB MP3 Player Black

I have been through 4 Creative MP3 Players (2 of which were Zen Microphotos 8GB). All 4 have eventually "frozen". I personally visited the Creative Corporate Headquarters in Singapore to have the player repaired since the US repair center in Oklahoma would no longer repair these Zen Microphotos; (I was in SG on a business trip.) Creative Singapore would not repair it either, but sold me a refurb unit in March 2009. This latest unit has frozen as well in October 2009 (only 7 months later).

The Creative website and "customer service" (LOL) are all unhelpful and not customer-focused. I have tried the "Format All", "Reload Firmware" and "Reboot" modes, as suggested. Nothing works. Even Creative knows they are selling junk, as they will no longer repair these MP3 players.

Up to now, I have resisted becoming an Apple customer (my mistake...); I will never buy a Creative product again!Get more detail about Creative Zen Micro Photo 8 GB MP3 Player Black.

Buying Transcend T.sonic 630 2 GB MP3 Player (White)

This is a wonderful little device, and very affordable. I use it mainly to my favorite radio shows when I can't listen directly, especially using the preset recording time feature. The tuner is very good compared to a Walkman. The other thing I love about this [as opposed to the Creative MuVo, for example] is that the T-Sonic can switch back and forth between the radio, a prerecorded file, or an MP3 file without losing its place. My only complaint is that the tuner only gets FM, not AM, and that the station preset function doesn't have a favorites option.Get more detail about Transcend T.sonic 630 2 GB MP3 Player (White).

Purchase Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Purple (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL

What is there to say about the iPod shuffle that hasn't already been said in the other 300+ reviews?

So here are the five things *I* like best about it:

It's small and lightweight and goes right into my shirt pocket.
It's inexpensive so if i lose or break it or if it is stolen no big deal.
I can use the controls without looking at it.
It holds just the right amount of music.
Sand doesn't mess it up at the beach.
The charge lasts a long time.

Okay, so that's six.

Anyway, I've had my shuffle for 2 1/2 years and I still love it.Get more detail about Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Purple (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL.

Order Archos 604 30 GB Portable Media Player - Refurbished (Silver)

Bought it because we wanted something other than a "single function" portable dvd player for our daughter(on road trips).. This thing is nice because we can put all sorts of media on it (video, music and pics) it suits the whole family. She can watch shows/movies then when she passes out, we can listen to music. It's very basic operationally, easy to use. Great picture quality, built in speaker is fairly decent. Headphones are the best bet for personal use. In the car i suggest an FM transmitter. There are a couple of apps you can download on the archos website that enable you to play all audio/video formats, also you can use it as a dvr and record tv programs. 30gb is kinda small, but it gives you plenty of space for music as long as you rotate your vids/movies....Get more detail about Archos 604 30 GB Portable Media Player - Refurbished (Silver).

Where To Buy SanDisk Sansa c150 2 GB MP3 Player (Black)

I loved it, it was a gift for someone. The quality is amazing, and is very modern to be a battery AAA MP3.

Buy it! I love it!! And the person how got it as a gift love it too!!Get more detail about SanDisk Sansa c150 2 GB MP3 Player (Black).

Shop For Coby MP200-2GBLK USB-Stick MP3 Player

I would not recommend that you buy this player for the original list price. I found mine for $5--a great deal for someone like me who doesn't want all the fanciness and frufu that comes with most players. I just wanted to hear my music and have something little to carry. I got this item yesterday, and so far, it is working. There are five simple buttons: Play/pause, forward, backward, + and - for volume. To turn this item on, hold down the Play/pause button (same to turn it off). There is a little light that blinks when music is playing and stays steady when music is not playing. This player is run on battery power (AAA) and cannot be charged through the computer. It plugs right into the computer to get music and also comes with a cord that can also be used. No screen at all, and the music plays in the order you load it onto the player. Is advertised to hold 240 songs.
For a cheap price, this is a great little player.

Three months later: Still working great! Very easy to use and install music on. Fantastic quality. A+++ Get more detail about Coby MP200-2GBLK USB-Stick MP3 Player.

ibiza Rhapsody H1A030BL 30 GB Wi-Fi/MP3 Player by Haier (Blue)

This particular product did not fit what I was looking for, and I returned it. The Rhapsody features and the FM radio seemed okay, but I was looking for an internet radio that would rival what I currently get from the Grace internet radio that I have. I just wanted the mobility of a portable radio to listen to my favorite radio stations (esp., K-LOVE) in the range of my home WiFi.

iAudio U2 1 GB Digital Music Player Review

All you could ask for--played every format, FM tuner, mic recorder, solid battery life, easy connectivity/use for transferring files, design of player easy to use and durable(knocked around a lot over it's 4 year life, including getting wet and suffering some higher temps) good display and the most simple/easiest to use GUI I've seen on an mp3 player yet. Came with a protective case and some accessories--a great manual. Change of buds after awhile was my only issue all this time.

I recently had to upgrade to a Sansa Clip player, just b/c the 1GB storage on my old iaudio u2 was getting too annoying. But, I honestly had no other reason to upgrade, this little cowon is really solid, through and through.

However, I'll still use it as a back/up player (like keeping it on the car, for mp3 car tunes).

If cowon had stayed in this market as a competitor to Sansa, I would definitely had gone for a cowon---however I think cowon changed ownership and they moved on to bigger, more expensive players, leaving Sansa as the main choice for great quality, all-inclusive, cheap flash mp3 players.

SanDisk Sansa c240 - Digital player / radio - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3 - red Top Quality

I bought this product for my brother for his birthday, so i decided to wait before reviewing it. He LOVES this thing, lol. One of my co-workers told me about Sansa, I had never really heard of this brand before. When she told me that it was better than some of the other mp3's and ipods she used I had to check it out. My brother uses it quite frequently and we were able to add music so easily. Of course the little bonus feature is being able to add gig's to the device. A lot of smaller mp3's do not have this option, so this was perfect for him. Get more detail about SanDisk Sansa c240 - Digital player / radio - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3 - red.

Sony 4 GB Slim Noise-Canceling Video MP3 Player (Black) Best Quality

I love this player. In fact, I just bought two more. Once I realized that you can't get replacement headphones for this...I figured I'd just buy the whole mp3 player...just to get the headphones.

Sound is warm, rich and the equalizer is meaningful, but the sound is good set at flat eq. Price = totally worth-it. Feature rich and easy to use.

I have irivers, iaudios, ipods, creatives and old sonys...the sound is as good or better than the iaudio players (my personal favorite for sound). However, all of this depends on the headphones you're using.

This player sound's great with it's own headphones as well as Woodies and Shure E2c. Sound is awful with the Etymotic hf2 (but the only thing that the Etymotics sound good on is the iaudio).

Cons: Doesn't work with Macs. Intermittent capture of my album art (but I'm almost certain this is a WMP-11 problem). Discontinued by Sony and replaced with inferior product.

This is my...I don't know...20th or so personal music device...really, I haven't been this happy with a player since my first Sony Walkman CASSETTE Player in 1984. (is cassette even word anymore?)

iPods are the bomb for interface....they are inferior at everything else including quality of build (IMHO).

I would buy this again (and did).



Update 1: I thought what's the worst that could happen if I used this Sony on a Mac? Maybe a reset...maybe total corruption of the Sony Os? I went ahead and did it since I have three of these now (spares). It works. You can drag and drop files on a Snow Leopard Mac strainght into this unit. Album Artwork will copy too...as long as the artwork is 240 x 240 (still trying to find the true dimension as some larger files did scale without any editing). The Mac Finder will access it like an external HD. Just drop the files into the correct folder (ie Music, Podcast...etc). the ONLY problem I had was unmounting it. After ejecting the drive, I had maybe two seconds to unplug the Sony before it remounted again in the Finder. However, once I figured this out...everything has been fine. No apparent corruption in the Sony.

I now like everything about this player....Upgrading my rating from 4 stars (cause supposedly didn't work on Mac) to 5 stars


Update 2: I just got back from a business trip. I spent a total of 20 hours on airlines. The noise cancelling DOES WORK quite well. It makes a huge difference in this instance. Using it (noise cancelling) around the house...not much difference but WOW...these thing really cut out the noise of aircraft engines. I could listen to music, with volume set at 8, and hear the music perfectly.

The interface/navigation is actually extremely intuitive. CNET thought the interface a average...NOT at all...quite the opposite.

Note: I have now purchased 6 (from TigerDirect) of these because I like them that much. Even the size is perfect. Each time I buy, I purchase "all they have in stock" however...a couple of days later they always have "only two left" again. This tells me that they obviously have more than two or 3 left in stock and are using this tactic to induce a bit of panic purchasing.

After my last purchase...they (Tiger) raised the price 10 bucks. I still think this unit is the best sounding and has the most useful features...and while it's still worth it...I loathe these type of gimmicks. Also, I think I have enough for a couple of gifts now and a couple of spares for me. Buy them while they are still available. If you want the New Nano size with 10x better sound quality...this is the unit.

Lastly, the ear buds fit my ears perfectly. I'm certain this contributes to my experience of this player.Get more detail about Sony 4 GB Slim Noise-Canceling Video MP3 Player (Black).
