MP3,JukeBox or Ipod?

I can't compare models as I only have an iPod but I'm fond of it. I've never felt that the sound quality is crap either, though I've never tried a blind test with other mp3 players. I agree with Stewart that 1GB is not really enough for a 'main' player: I have about 2,500 songs on mine and like the fact that at a whim I can have any one of them playing, without ever having to go home and change the songs on it. I did buy a 1GB iPod shuffle out of sheer spendthriftness last year but hardly ever use it. It's OK for the gym I suppose.
 
My daughters have an mp3 player each,which is made my Creative and its the Zen Nano Plus. The sound quality is really good and i am really pleased with them! I often have a listen while doing my housework :)

Only one? I've got thousands spanning all sorts of music. :)

Wabbit, 16 albums on an MP3 player sounds annoyingly crap. I don't actually have a portable MP3 player because I read whilst travelling but I wouldn't want storage that low were I to get one; the thought of having to change and rotate albums on a regular basis doesn't appeal.

Sorry, actually it's probably a LOT higher than that. I have a 1 gig player and it can hold about 500 songs. Of course it really depends on what bit rate you encode the MP3 into. I normally make them 128kb. If you encode them to WMA then you will get probably double that amount on the player.

Even if it was only 16 it's a lot. How much would you actually listen to in a day? Even if you listened to 8 hours constantly ( which you wouldn't ) then you wouldnt get through that amount of music.

You really don't change it that often ( well, I personally don't ) and when you do it takes only a few mins.
 
Personally, I like the iPod (got the 4GB Nano for Christmas) cause I have one. I like the fact that I can put it in my jeans pocket and go for a walk for however long the cd is and not worry about it skipping on me or carrying extra cd cases with me :p

As to how people listen to their favourite tunes, to each his own I say.:cool: Everybody has their own way and it doesn't always jive with what everybody else likes Whether you have an MP3 player of some sort (iPod or otherwise), a discman, or a turntable the important thing is that you enjoy whatever you listen to.

As for replacing the battery for one's iPod, I think it depends on how often you charge your battery up. I like to let it go down to about half to a third full before I charge it up fully and even then I don't listen to it all the time. There are other things that I like to listen to as besides my iPod.:eek:
 
I owned an Ipod back when they where clearly the best on the market, but thanks to a thief i know longer own one. Instead i just use my PSP.
 
I used to love listening to a jukebox, but when I got my Ipod 30 gig (thank you mom and dad) I wouldn't listen to anything else. Still won't.

Love it to death, but does SCRATCH! I already have a couple. >.<
 
I'm er, *cough*conceding and considering buying one of those things*cough* so it looks as though I'm serving myself a portion of humble pie here (But thank the lord it's on a different thread, huh). :rolleyes:

It's only because iTunes is fabulous and my mobile is just, er... not fabulous. So I need one. It's not through choice.

Hmm.

But Wabbit, 16 albums, 8 hours or whatever, is nowhere near enough music! :eek:

I've got almost that amount of music by one artist (although to be fair, she is the finest artist in the whole wide world), but still...
