mp3 players vs ipod. whats the difference? - GoFuckYourself.com

BlackCrayon · 09-16-2005, 05:48 PM

my sister wants to buy something to listen to mp3s on. she asked me since im the computer guy in the family but i don't know anything about mp3 players or ipod. which is better? she said she thinks ipod might be more 'worth it' but i don't know if there is any difference. any advice?

I thought ipod is a specific mp3 player... just like "dell laptop" is a specific kind of a computer...

Ipod is a brand .. it's the same as any MP3 player ... it works with Itunes which is nice .. very simple and user friendly ... I have an Ipod and an Iriver ... the interface for the Iriver is a bit more complex ... not much but i like Itunes better

IPOD's rock, plain and simple. For $300 I have a 20gig IPOD that holds all of my 600 cds plus everything else I've downloaded. And the best part is I can use it on my motorcycle without it skipping.

I would suggest the iPod. It's cool to look at, easy to use, and there are a shitload of great products made by 3rd parties that work with it (speakers, docks, FM antennas, even fucking laser pointers).

iTunes is great and easy to use also.

MikeVega · 09-16-2005, 06:32 PM

I have to add that the Ipod makes a great external hard drive ... i have a 20g and I'm only using about 7g right now ... i use the rest to move files or bring pics and things with me .... Works Great ...

Doctor Dre · 09-16-2005, 06:45 PM

I have an iriver right now ... I don't really use it so I can't tell you if a ipod is any better.

wow.....just wow.

iPod all the way. I love the new Nano for running and working out (Flash based so it's more suited for being shaken)
