You know I wouldn't mind getting one of those. I like to make cds for my friends, but I have to do it old school and make mixed tapes for them. I just want a simple way to make the cds from the vinyl with out turned my room into a a studio. [Edited 5/6/07 20:02pm] | |

vainandy said: I don't have one either for the same reason I never wanted a Walkman back in the day. I want my music to not only shake ass, but the fucking walls also. If the equipment doesn't disturb the neighbors, it ain't worth having. You sure as hell can't have a party with an ipod. What are you going to do, have all your guests gather around the headphones?
![]() You are behind the times, dear friend. There are accessories to where you can take your ipod anywhere and hook it up to any sort of sound/video system (wired or wirelessly) and shake the walls to rubble. | |

DirtyChris said: no software needed...
the iPod is just too much of a hastle for me I hate having to install software that I'm only gonna use ever so often I'm more prone to the Windows Media Player anyway Then you'd absolutely HATE the Zune - you can't use WMP with it, you have to install custom software for it, etc, etc... | |

Wowugotit said: I like my Dell 20 GB DJ that I've had for 3 years just fine. It plays wma files that the IPOD won't, plus I can buy and download my music from a whole variety of e-tailers, like Napster & Wal-Mart, instead of only being able to buy downloads from ITunes.
That all sounds great except for the reality that: a)Those devices bombed and Dell ceased making them. The Dell DJ uses a dead-end DRM system that is no longer supported by the latest WMA store/technology from Microsoft. b)That "whole variety" of retailers probably hold about 9% of the market and the more limited selection of music they offer comes wrapped with a DRM including much more severe restrictions than iTunes in most cases. The two most popular online stores, the two people actually use ![]() c) The iPod is compatible with a lot more file formats and will happily convert unprotected wma for you. People are perfectly free to choose whatever player they wish, and there are a few enticing alternatives on occasion, BUT most of the complaints I hear against the iPod go doubly worse for the ones they end up choosing... | |
