The Ipod

[Papewaio]

Long commutes so you don't have to reload every week... is a good reason... Or if you work where you are allowed to play music then not having the same songs repeat in the week is good too.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but anyone aware of any current players that support Ogg Vorbis? My old iriver H140 is getting on a bit, and a replacement might be on the cards, but I prefer not to have to re-rip my entire music collection, which is all in Ogg-aside from the fact that I like it as a file format.

It's still a cracking player though, I'm very glad I bought it. I'd be perfectly happy sticking with it if I can't find a reasonable replacement.

BKS, have a look at that link I posted (ipodlinux). Older ipod models support ogg, among other things. I am not aware of others, though (which doesn't mean there aren't, of course).

I got the 2GB ipod nano for $150 usd. People who need more than that are too tolerant of bad music, or have theirs at a really high bitrate. Mine is 192 kbps I believe.

I have a H120 that I bought years ago- I've never regretted getting it. It's wonderful just to be able to drag/drop files onto it and have them work.

Maybe this list will help you search for a new player.

I bought my wife the iPod shuffle for her workouts, and she loves it. The new ones are pretty freakin' small. One gig, one music list, no moving parts, practically indestructible.

If you need something bigger and more expensive, then fine. But I think the Shuffle is a good workout thingmabob.

[edit]

Xiahou, the wiki you link to is kinda weird. It doesn't list the iPods that use flash, even though there's lots of them.

Do they support ogg?

Umm... Bad music. Music is entirely subjective.

I'd fill that up with Led Zeppelin and Hendrix alone. Hopefully I'll be getting a 30 or 40 GB iPod for my birthday.

Neither the ipod shuffle or the ipod nano have movable parts am I correct ?

Too bad they`re so expensive, but I haven`t had good experiences with `cheap` mp3 players.
