I've just realized at the gym that 1/2 of the people in there own a music player and most of those own some type of Apple iPod.

For thoseo f you who own one, what type?
What is your level of satisfaction with it?


If you don't own one, what is the primary reason you don't?

Creative Zen Vision:M

Beats any iPod hands down.

40GB 3G
9221 songs at the moment

I use it everyday mainly on dock bases (connected to a stereo amplifier) I have at work, at the car and at my PC desk at home.
Headphones only when I take my morning walk

So very satisfied I guess

I'd say about 80-90% of folks I see at my gym have one too. I don't.



Only cause I never seem to buy one. I'm still living in CD land.

10GB. Couldnt live without it

i have a creative zen macro that i hate. about to buy one of those 60GB video ipods

I'm pretty sure you own an iPod you trendy hunk, you.

i have a creative labs 40gb NOMAD. i'm very happy with it.

Imago said:

nope



i do have 3 mp3 players tho, but they're just the
simple kind. 128 mb and such lol. that's all i'll
need at the gym anyway.

what am i supposed to do with 4000 hours of music
on an mp3 player?

IstenSzek said:

listen to it!

Anx said:

i have 10,000 hours of music in my home, on my
pc and various other sources.

when i leave the house i only need one or two
hours worth of music on me at any given time.

i just change the stuff on the mp3 stick some
2 or 3 times a week.



in other words: i want an Ipod but i reall can
not afford one right now

LOL.

i know what you mean...but when i'm travelling, it's a relief to know i can carry most of my music collection with me, and i can listen to whatever i have a whim to hear at any given moment. even better, i can put my NOMAD on shuffle and it's like my own little pirate radio station. it's worth the investment!

20gig - 11gig used, couldn't live without this beast!

omg! I love it!!

CarrieMpls said:

I was thinking the same thing at the gym last night - I don't have one, but I'm putting money aside, and I'll be getting one sometime in the next few months.

Those of you who have them, did you get anything etched in? I'm not sure if I want to or not - I think I do for ID purposes, but then that pretty much rules out ever re-selling it later.

I have a Nano. I don't use it too much other than for the gym or when I go running. I like it, it definitely makes the workout less painful.

I've got two:

A shuffle so that I can run with it, and the 20 GB kind. I love them both. I use it my 20 GB iPod all the time. I have had (2) minor problems with it, both of which were fixed right away and free of charge.

I hate toys, but my wife owns an iPod and a Shuffle. (Is that what they're called??)

I think they're a waste of money, but she swears by them! And we found out we just lost the Shuffle in a U.S. customs check!! I'm just telling you so if you hear about us bombing the Cleveland airport in the news, you'll know why.

30GB Photo iPod.

All the other mp3 players look ugly.

60gb Video Black 54.16gb used

mdiver said:

That looks awesome.

i have an obsolete mini.

i wish i had one of the 40giggers, 'cuz this mini be filling up way to fast.

mdiver said:

Ellie said:

U think? I have the one in the middle. Plays music at any bitrate, movies, radio and stores images too. 30Gig.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I still want a pink mini.

30gb video ipod!! and i LOVE it!!

Imago said:

I own one, the 30GB one but I've never really used it. It's 2 years old and I've used it maybe twice.

jillybean said:

me too, but I use the shuffle a lot more than the 20gig.
