Looking for a new mp3 player (1 Viewer)

Okay so you MAKE the custom equilizer by first going to the Equilizer button at the bottom right third from left corner. You go to the scroll tab and choose manual. You change the settings however you want it then you got to the tab and choose Make Preset... and save it as a name of your choice. I chose 'custom' and saved it as that. Custom is now avaliable for you to change the chosen song for it to be the equilizer setting as well as volume enhance etc. You can make as many presets as you want I think and change it for every song if you wanted.
ANYTHING YOU DO TO THE iTUNES SETTING WILL TRANSFER TO THE iPOD IF THE iPOD HAS THAT SONG SO YOU CAN CALIBRATE THE SONG WITHOUT THE iPOD SO THAT WHEN YOU PLUG THE iPOD IN IT AUTO CHANGES EVERY SONG ON YOUR iPOD.
THUS IF YOU CHANGING SETTINGS WITH AN iPOD PLUGGED IN IT CHANGES AND SAVES THE SETTING FOR EVERY CHANGE.

If you're worried about battery life, you can get battery packs for iPods that hold AA batteries -- good for plane trips. I'd go iPod, but spend the extra $100 odd and get a 20gb

My computer barely has 2 Gb worth of space and it'd be a pain to recalibrate 20 Gb worth of music. Everyone says to pay up but sooner or later you can get a better iPod. I'd say get the cheapest, quickest alternative that is necessary for every day use and invest in a better one later when you actually need it.

i got a 4gb mini for christmas.. if only i knew they were brining out 6gb ones.. and i would have got one of them!! - a 20gb would have been better. but yeah... money held me back on that one

 

[Collin]

Technically I have $900 to spend on this... but really I want something that's light and small, hence I'm going for the mini. 20GB isn't needed for me, I have alot of music but definitely not more than 4GB worth which I would consider a necessity (i.e there's no point of me putting on all my music collection since I would never even touch alot of the songs now).

JimmyK: Plus the fact that the 2nd gen minis have twice the battery life of the 1st gen.

 

[AsyLum]

Yeah my first gen mini dies after ~8 hours continuous, ok, since thats the advertised life, but wont get through all ~700 songs.

The EQ and volume and other things are set through itunes, you turn on "sound check" on the ipod and i think either its fine from that, or you set the matching eq (not sure i usually leave it as is).

Have a look at the Creative Muvo or Zen.

i've had a Muvo since last Christmas- 5gb storage, FM radio, equilizer, built in microphone, removable battery, and plays WMA and MP3 so it's compatible with online legal music downloads. However, the controls are bit fiddly and takes some getting use to, but a great unit.

 

[SuGa BunI =D]

ohh u must get the Samsung YP T6, its so small!! 512mb, light weight, FM radio, equilizer, built in microphone, removable battery, WMA, MP3 & ADPCM compatible, SRS 3D and TruBass WOW effects.. its the best!! but i've lost mine.. decided to buy the ipod shuffer but decided to save up for the iRiver iFP-995 ... ohh irresistible!

 

[HellVeN]

I-pods don't have a recordin function do they?

I've got about a GIG of mp3's (I had alot more but my old HDD died). And my 128 MB mp3 player, whilst great and compact, is barely enough to hold about 30-45 mp3's.

Say can anyone post their music collection or something? I can't think of any mp3's to download...

 

[RUB!X]

just get an iriver ... u wont regret it (like an ipod)
