dont buy any SONY mp3 player

[dopla]

not sure if anyones ever encountered this , but recently i purchased a sony mp3 player with the new atrac system.

i was expecting a drag and drop player instead i got the most annoying piece of crap software 'sonicstage' and ATRAC which is sonys answer to illegal downloads.

now ofcourse i purchase all of my music online (i do not pirate) but even still it wont convert mp3s that dont have a license to this ATRAC shit.

im infuriated. fuck sony, fuck ATRAC. i actually trusted the brand because they make audio equip. but that was my mistake.

sonicstage is a ram whoring bitch that looks terrible on my desktop.

i should have bought the dodgey brand mp3 player atleast that would play my mp3s and be drag and drop.

Re: dont buy any SONY mp3 player

ipod are you serious?
i had one ages ago it was crap.
the battery lasted 5 minutes
also that ipod software is almost as gay as the sonicstage.

drag and drop mp3 players all the way (ipod does not fit into this cattagory)

its just that i cant find a decent one with storage space.

anyone have any recommendations?

I'd go creative zen vision m (centre)



Not a fan of ipods, but they do look the best. This one looks similiar and creative are good for price/quality.

5mins? Faulty battery imo. iTunes is drag 'n' drop and there are tons of add ons for iPod available (my current favo is the iTrip: click on FM transmitter)

Re: dont buy any SONY mp3 player

iTrip... that of accessory is available for any type of mp3 player. iPod isn't drag and drop, because you have to use iTunes. Drag and drop = no required software. What happens if you goto someones house who doesn't have iTunes and you want to tax a few sets from him/her? You can't.

But as I said, iPods do look the best (sexy little things), so Creative Vision M would definitely be my pick because it has awesome features such as video and whatever else is the staple of an iPod, but without the strings attached. And of course more to my point... it looks closest to an iPod.
