i have about $300 to spend and i'm feeling anti-i-pod
not a big fan of the i-pod despite all the great things i keep hearing about them. i've messed around w/ one and a Nano and realize its great and easy to use, but i just want to go with a different mfr. i've been looking at Creative, Rio, and Dell. Tonight i've noticed some I-river and that's about as far as i want to take it, unless you know of another mfr. that puts out good stuff. What i want : -10-40 gig at least -good sound quality (like I-pod) no hiss or static -loud -lightweight -easy to use - no upper scroll mechanism like the Rio that i've read tends to break -easy to transfer data and mp3 files onto - essentially a portable harddrive -MUST MUST MUST - be able to withstand the cold - it's going to be going skiing/snowboarding w/ me alot in Summit County, CO -so cold conditions, need at least 12-24hrs+ battery life with a single charge am i asking too much? is my only answer an I-pod? i hope not. let me know if you know of or own something that is in this range that i would like. I've got about $250-$350 at the very most to spend... thanks alot for any help, - Mike btw, ATTENTION! ACHTUNG!!! ---- never buy an Archos product in your lifetime. They put together shotty mp3 players, one in which i've owned that's given me nothing but trouble since day one. Their customer service went from the depths of hell to now just completely terrible. And now that my player is completely broken, only 2 yrs old - it's discontinued and they say cannot be repaired. Never give this company your hard earned $$$ - just a warning. I told myself i would pass on the word.

Re: i have about $300 to spend and i'm feeling anti-i-pod
LOL! @ the thread title
whats wrong w/ an ipod? for 300 bux you can get a 30 gig color video one, ive never got the whole "anti-ipod" thing. they rock and are easy to use, i have a non-color 20 gig one and i love it, its filled w/ a ton of tunes and sets ive gotten from off of here. If i had a color video one, id be alot happier (ill prob. cop one in a few months) id def. go with the ipod
also if you have 250-350 to spend, you might just want to throw down 50 more bux and cop the 60 gig color video ipod, cuz that one is just insane and you'll love yourself for buying it. -

iPod sound quality bites.
I've always been a big fan of the Sony's. Their new model is pretty hot, and so is the last model.
They only go up to 20 gig though."If not for Josh Wink, Sasha wouldn't own any Acid except for the paper stuff he dopes chicks with at clubs." - Jenks, 2004

Re: i have about $300 to spend and i'm feeling anti-i-pod
ahhaha.... wow.
So you want something exactly like an ipod but.... not an ipod. Just because you want to do something different? Its a little piece of hardware, it isn't defining your role on this planet. It fits all your criteria perfectly.
Don't buy anything creative or sony in your life. You are better off lighting that 300 bucks on fire.Comment

Some major choices:
I-river H320 or H340 series (hard to find though)
Creative Zen Vision:M
Cowon iAudio x5 series
The I-river H3xx series is by far the best of the 3, but near impossible to find.
If you hate Itunes, then make sure the player you get supports UMS (Universal Mass Storage), basically, plug and play HD access.Comment

dude, get a PS3 and the huge memory chip. you get mini DVD player, Ipod, video games, and more in one. you can put anything on them, even windows. has WIFI too.
all you need is the memory chips they sell all over, and a chunk of free time to download all the mods to it.your life is an occasion, rise to it.

I-river all the way...
fuck even jenna jameson supports it:

They drink gasoline and piss fire, The spit bullets and shit bombs, and will swim across the ocean with a knife in their teeth just for the chance to carve up those that threaten their homeland.Comment
