For the month of April we thought it would be fun to to see what MP3 player if any you're primarily using. Feel free to discuss why your using the MP3 player you're using, what you like about it, what you don't like about it, or anything else you that relates to the same topic.

If you specified Other we'd all like to know what MP3 player you're using.

All past monthly polls and results can be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

JNC SSF3100 1GB, works perfect for me.

although the foward button is broken but i can still manage using the select button

EDIT (July 22nd, 2008):

Found this topic randomly so, because I'm bored, I just wanted to say that my JNC MP3 Died on me (all buttons didn't work). RIP.

My new T60 IRiver MP3 works GREAT though!!!

I have a 30GB iPod. I like it, I won't lie. So happy I don't have to use WMP to sync all my music

I have a Colby MP3 player (Coby bought Centon... so the original MP3 player from Centon was better)
and I have a NikiPhillips MP3 player (which came with excelent headphones)

Calum · « **Reply #8 on:** April 03, 2007, 02:59:18 AM »

Rio Carbon 5Gb.
I mostly use my PC to listen to music though, especially as my player's battery is suffering a slow death.

Zylstra · « **Reply #9 on:** April 03, 2007, 02:13:06 PM »

I dissabled that backlight thing on my MP3 player... it takes up too much power.

**revised** I bought my kids the 30 gig Ipods for xmas.. (they look so kuel) after awhile I decided the old man needed one too but didn't have the bling to spend that much on myself... I really didn't need this thing but now that I have it, I really do love the sucker....

I have the Sansa Sandisk e260 4 gig w/ extra- 1 gig micro chip
I think the device is awesome...... I can't stress how much better flash memory is over a hard drive for simplicity, battery life and no-skipping ! Very user friendly software and easy downloads.... many formats.....

I highly recommend this unit*....

music, video, fm radio, photo album, Great voice recorder.......

newegg...<<< shhhh he he

Don't you think April poll is too weak comparing with other ones? E.g. March Poll 1184 votes. What is the reason?

Mine is set to only come on for 2 seconds, I find I do need it most of the time to see what's on the screen as it's too dark.

The April poll has only been going a few days.
Give it time.

I use a 30GB ipod I like it it stores nearly all my music and gives me a good random choice when set to shuffle.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #14 on:** April 04, 2007, 08:04:27 AM »

i got the new gen 80 gig ipod video. which i use everyday almost all day when i slept at work playing games driving ect.

Zylstra · « **Reply #15 on:** April 04, 2007, 02:33:58 PM »

What I would like to get is one of those Zunes, rather than an iPod...
(Not an iPod fan here, but if I could get one for free, I would take it!)

Actually the reason is that unfortunately SMF (the new forum system) does not allow guest votes. So anyone attempting to vote from the main Computer Hope main page cannot vote unless they're a member of the forum. I think any person including guests should be able to vote for the monthly polls, but everything I've read so far indicates it's not possible.

Calum · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2007, 02:52:12 AM »

Really?
Well, that's a bit of a blow.

Zylstra · « **Reply #18 on:** April 05, 2007, 11:18:25 AM »

I dont recall you having guest voting enabled...
I alwayas got "YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO PREFORM THIS ACTION!" or something like that

CBMatt · « **Reply #19 on:** April 10, 2007, 03:52:01 AM »

I've got an iPod Shuffle, but I use it mainly for backing up and transferring files. I can't listen to it in my car, so it's pretty pointless.

unlovedwarrior · « **Reply #20 on:** April 10, 2007, 08:35:34 AM »

why cant you listen to it in your car?

soybean · « **Reply #21 on:** April 10, 2007, 10:54:34 AM »

30GB iPod ... 80GB iPod ... oh, my goodness. I've got a 256MB Creative MuVo TXFM and I like the little rascal.

Zylstra · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2007, 12:38:39 PM »

How much does having a hard drive bring down the battery life? I think I would rather have a 4GB MP3 player and a good battery life instead of 30GB of unused memory and a bad battery life. (But I belive it works like an Antiskip MP3/CD player with read ahead and memory)

Calum · « **Reply #23 on:** April 10, 2007, 12:42:11 PM »

Same here, flash memory really uses a lot less power than a HDD.
I have a HDD player anyway, it was on special offer, but I think my next purchase will be flash - not only for the battery life but because it can be smaller.
Plus, I only need maybe 4Gb of storage, which is now pretty cheap, especially compared with how expensive it was a few years ago.

Zylstra · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2007, 02:03:59 PM »

Very true

$20 for a 2GB flash drive? Thats nothing like it was just two years ago. Who would pay $54 for one of those now?
(And some places you can just keep getting them cheaper and cheaper)

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #25 on:** April 10, 2007, 08:29:32 PM »

(And some places you can just keep getting them cheaper and cheaper)

Yeah, In Guangzhou in Mainland China, about 3-4 hours drive from where i live, You can get 2gb flash drives for about $5-10 USD
I got one from there and it is really good. Still use it.

Zylstra · « **Reply #26 on:** April 10, 2007, 08:39:10 PM »

China? (I have a relative that lives there!)
I had no idea you were from there.

I guess since China exports lots of goods, without the high price inflations from stores and without shipping, it would be a LOT cheaper.
(Now I want to live there!)

Is the American dollar worth more than the exchanged currency?

No tape deck or CD player or...well, anything. The radio doesn't even work. I tend to drive my grandma's car, which has a CD player, but there's no way I'm shelling out money for an iTrip.

I use my 128MB GPX Music Stick... it's small, but it does the job
I lost the USB plug cover and the battery cover, plus part of the play button fell off

But it still works

I use my PSP with a 512Mb memory stick

it's bulky as, but it does the job
