IPOD vs IRIVER

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I agree, 5gb is a good cut off. It forces you to be somewhat selective, yet holds more music than you have time to listen. It also allows for a smaller sized device, since I carry everything in my pockets, wallet/keys/cellphone there is enough crap weighing me down as is.

With the larger capacity players it seems like you wouldn'teven be able to keep track of what's on there.

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I've had both an iriver and an ipod. I think the ipod is the better choice. Its playlist features and seachability are fantastic...its the only player on the market that you can search by artist. The only downfall to the ipod is if you don't have an apple then you need software for the pc to run it.

If you throw the Zen out of the picture, then yes... it's the only player on the market that lets you search by artist

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I have both an iriver (although it's not hdd) and ipod (flash) and I will say again that the difference in sound quality is huge. But I guess it's about what features are important for you...

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I own an iriver mp3 cd player for 3 years now, and it's the best thing I ever bought.

My parents have an ipod each one of them, and I actually think it's pretty good.

Although the ipod nano looks like easy breakable imo.

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I have an IPod and I update it with iTunes for Windows so it does work with both

The only downfall to the ipod is if you don't have an apple then you need software for the pc to run it.

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I have the 20GB iriver H120. I bought it because it records via an internal mic, external mic or line in. I use it for telephone interviews for work (and therefore it was deductible on last year's taxes).

It sounds great on headphones or plugged into my stereo.

The interface isn't great. But I mostly play long sets, not albums, so that doesn't matter too much to me.

It also has an FM radio.

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

iriver all the way......you get more bang for your buck and you don't have to worry about loading iTunes software. Plus, the battery life more than doubles the ipod, last I checked anyway.
