I got an iPod, suckers !

[Devil]

*heh*

From a Crative Jukebox to a Rio Riot to a iPod, I still prefer the Creative that I bought 3 years ago because Crative Playcenter IS THE BEST MOTHER FUCKING MANAGAMENT SOFTWAREEVER MADE...

Rio Riot was pure crap... big, slow, unusable management software (RealOne Player, PURE CRAP I SWEAR !!!)

Ipod is in the middle, it's reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally small, veeeeeeeeeeeery fast, but again, crappy management software (Musicmatch)

on both players (iPod and Rio riot) we can't edit a song's name and ID3 tag and can't create playlist... DEATH TO REALONE PLAYER AND MUSICMATCH


Now I don't know if this thread should be in Rant.

[chesh]

I've had an iPod for about 2 months. The only thing I hate about Misicmatch is that it is so damn RAM hungry. You should know that you can edit track tags before putting your music on the player. It's not really a problem since the connection via USB 2.0 or firewire is pretty quick and you can change settings pretty damn easily.

I love my iPod.

www.iriver.com - I got the SlimX 350 - as long as you have a CD Burner, this is perfect. Management software is whatever you want to burn things with, you just burn your mp3s to a CD, and put it in. Does ID3 tags and all as well as a reallly good interface for looking through your library.

[Devil]

the problem is that I have 40 CDs full of mp3s... I don't want to take them all and change CD each time I want to hear a song.. hard drive mp3 players was the answer for my problem...

Chesh, herm, that's fricking dumb, I don't use Musicmatch as a library, I put my songs from the directory to my iPod directly.. programs such as Musicmatch and Realone Player will stay crappy in my mind...

with Creative Playcenter you can edit everything on a song that is on the player... the only problem is that it's for Creative products only... bummer

[mr. box]

I thought you could get iTunes for windows.

Anyways, rock on. Get anything laser inscribed on it?

[chrisv]

If you prefered the Creative Jukebox, why did you buy the other two?

That's why God made CDRWs, you can have a cd with the 150 or so songs you're listening to and switch it up whenever you want.

[Xelopheris]

Not to mention the new discmands with MP3 playing technology. I'm getting one next week. A full 650 megs worth of songs instead of 60 minutes.

[Liquor_Riss]

CD players that can play MP3s look pretty cool.....and not too expensive neither! :P

[Devil]

1 : iTunes is not for windows... laser inscribed ? what do you me to inscribe on with a laser on my ipod

2 : I didn't really buy them, thanks god for waranty :rolleyes:

3 : God knows I'm a lazy arsed boy... so I don't want to burn a cd-rw each day to make a new playlist...

4 : still, I don't see my self with 40 CDs of mp3 at school

5 : darn you

Now I'm exhausted, I can't fricking change ID3 tags from files that are on CDs.... freaking freaking fricking GAY... I'm trying Xplay now -> http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/

[Threeboy]

iTunes is overpriced, like everything apple hooray!

[Devil]

Xplay pretty saved things.. Now it's easier to manage the files on the device, but it's still difficult to change the ID3 tags..

hahahaha, good old penny arcade :D

I bought my Creative Jukebox $499 CDN + fucking taxes + fucking waranty (that was worthing it finally) for a total of approximatively $660 CDN

thinking of that, I have the 2nd version of the ipod, so it's better :rolleyes:

[Serious Sam]

You're a nutjob.

[MulletMan]

So um... this iPod, it's a mp3 player, no? :oops:

Speaking of which, I wouldnt use one if I bought it. I'm thinking of just buying a nice deck for my car that can play CDRWs with mp3s on them, then I'll be set.

[-:snail:-]

Yea, What else do you have for your car sounds, MulletMan??

ipod... creative... pfawgh!!! Trash!

Archos! Built like a F'N tank from hell, works perfectly right out of the box, NOT MADE BY APPLE (thank god)...

My dad's got a 60gb Nomad III, as far as I'm concerned, it's a piece of crap. I could punt my Archos 50 yards and it'd look at me and say "So? What's your problem asshole" but if I dare to put the Nomad down too hard it'll die a quick death because it's built like crap. As for the iPod... It's Apple, nothing more needs to be said. Overpriced POS. But that's just my opinion.

[Devil]

you live in Bush-land ? And you bought a french mp3 player ? WTF, DO YOU WORK FOR THE RUSSIAN MAFIA ?

[MulletMan]

What else do I have for my car sounds? Umm.. a tape player from 1985 and, surprisingly, decent speakers (also '85)

[chesh]

As for the iPod... It's Apple, nothing more needs to be said. Overpriced POS. But that's just my opinion.

Your opinion based on what? Never owning an iPod is probably not sufficient experience to call it a piece of trash. I love my iPod. Of course, I don't judge an mp3 player by how far I can "punt" it. But that's just my opinion.

I judge portable devices based on several criteria. One of them is definatly sturdiness. But I was referring to the Creative Nomad, not the iPod in that case. I just said the iPod was, like all Apple products, overpriced.

And what difference does where I live make? The Archos is made in China, just like most other stuff these days. Slave labor is cheap.

[chesh]

Smitty - do you remember the war we just had in Iraq? Well ,the French refused to support the U.S. in their military actions there and, therefore, people in the States have generally held a bit of resent towards the French ("freedom fries", "freedom toast", freeedom kisses", etc.). I think that Brentech was pointing out that you live in the U.S and you bought something designed in France.

I got my sister one for her birthday, 'tis schwee 8)

Uhhh... Yeah, well, I didn't go into the store and say "By the way, where is this MP3 Jukebox from? Oh? France? Well fuck it, I don't want it then and you shouldn't be selling it". Besides which, what the French Government does and what a French owned company do are different matters. And hell, to this date I don't know the thing comes out of France, it says "Made in China" on it, where do you find it's made in France? <Shrug> I bet you don't own a darned thing French, right?

Look, I didn't buy the thing based on politics, I bought it based on quality. If the French are making a higher quality MP3 jukebox, well, not my fault. :)

[chesh]

I think it was a joke.

It was?

What a shame... I pity the wit challenged.

[Space-Bot]

Yea i got the 30 gig, upgrading to 40 as soon as the local retailer starts carrying them. There pretty cool, I use mine more often than I thought I would.

[Liquor_Riss]

With 30 gigs of music, why am I not surprised you use it often?
