New mp3 advice!! - Blu-ray Forum

lettucenpico · 07-04-2010, 03:34 PM

I'm looking for a new mp3 replacement. My last two mp3 players were a Sansa, and they did well for me. Now I want to try something new. Only problem I had with Sansa is I had to download Rhapsody to sync music (you can use WMP), but Rhapsody was easier to just drag the song to the selected playlist. I want something that I can just drag and drop either from a folder to one (removable disk drive), or something like and Ipod (not getting one only cuz I will be getting an Iphone 4). I was looking into a few selections, like the Archos, Zune, maybe an older Creative, etc.

If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Maybe I'll get one later today. So I need advice ASAP.

I just picked up a Sansa Clip - I don't need Rhapsody for it, I just put music into a folder, drag the folder into the Clip, and it's good to go.

$32 for a 2GB that you can expand with a MicroSD? Heck, I have 6 GBs of space in it for $32 + 4GB MicroSD I bought months ago. I couldn't be happier, considering it's my first MP3 player ever.

It's a perfect workout player - tiny, maybe like 1"x1.5", with a 3 or 4 line screen, clip on the back, adjustable equalizer, great comfy headphones - and the Amazon reviews were stellar.

I can't just shuffle through different sorts of music. I listen to everything. I have to make playlists for type of music. Ive been a Sansa user since 2007 and I always had to use rhapsody or wmp to set the playlist up correctly. Now you can drag and drop songs into the sansa drive on your pc but it just scatters. I really wanna try something new I mean I can always go back to a Sansa you know..but need something new. Do you have to use WMP for the Zune?

I use a Sansa too, but I change the album tag on the mp3s/wma to organize them by genre/era etc. My music tastes are pretty eclectic, but I like to be able to narrow my playlist down depending on my mood and this allows me to do it.

I used to have a creative zen touch. I had it 4 years with no problems. Then i needed something larger, so i sold it and bought a 120gb zune. I've had the zune for a little over a year with no problems.

So you recommend the Zunes?

I can't imagine me buying something other than an ipod if I want to buy something to play music

Yes i do. You get alot more storage space from a zune or other mp3 players for the price as compared to an ipod, unless like most people, you don't care about getting the most for your money and only care about being trendy.
