MP3 Players

[Drake]

my girlfriend bought me a dell pocket dj for Christmas. (5gb) and my factory stereo in my car has an auxiliary input. i couldn't imagine life without this thing. i have a little over 1,000 songs on it which is almost full. i'd recommend one to any music lover!

I've been jumping at the bit to get an mp3 player. I've been leaning towards a 20 gig iPod. I currently have ~20 gigs of music, so it would fit nicely with my collection.

i wish she would've bought me a 20g.

i wouldnt know what to do with 20 gigs of music, 256mb is plenty for me, then again i dont listen to it that often. But with the 20 gig ones, are you able to put lets say a whole cd on it, and then put it into a separate folder? that way it would be easier to access the songs you want. or do you have to search through every song to find what you want

Stupid question: How do you get the music onto the ipod? Does it hotsync or do you use usb cables or how?

I *think* you have to use iTunes which syncs the ipod with your MP3 source. I'll ask one of my buddies who has one when get gets in to work.

I have the 20 GB Apple iPod U2 Special Edition. You have to use iTunes to put your music on it and it doesn't automatically sync. You drag the music you want to the iPod device in iTunes (you'd see it if you had one). They are very nice machines and their sound quality rocks. I hate the Dell DJ I had one and I bought the iPod and its much better. Of course, there's nothing better than kicking back in your chair with a nice cigar and your favorite song. I am a real music and technology junky (I'm not a nerd), and especially on Macs. If you have any question about any Apple product just ask me I'm here to help!

on mine you can search by artist, album, or title. and you can chose to play all by artist, or play album and whatnot

I always see an MP3 player as an alternative to carrying around a 200 cd case logic of all my music. For traveling especially.


I would hate to be on the road and wanting to listen to something, but that something is on my hard drive at home and not on my little mp3 player.
