iPod

[Beirut]

Funny you should bring this up...

I just got one of these yesterday. A Sandisk E280.


It's the size of a credit card, and a bit more than a 1/4" thick. The screen is just under 2" diagonally. It has 8GB of memory, the sound is really nice, and the screen is much nicer than you would imagine. The software is easy to install and it dumps your music and videos in very easily. The controls took me a few minutes to get used to (but I'm an idiot) and are pretty simple and straightforward. PC Gamer (ya, ya, I know) gave it 90%+ on the review and said it had several options that the iPod didn't. Oh, it has a Lithium battery that charges through your USB post and lasts, they say, about a full day. The battery is user replaceable and costs about $25.

I spent a while last night ripping all my Floyd albums, about twenty of them, and dumping them into this thing. This was why I got the thing, really. I wanted an MP3 player that would hold my whole collection. I still have plenty of space left for, you know.... other music.

This is my first MP3 player and I'm really enjoying it. I'll be showing it off today to anyone I can pin down.

Oh, by the by, this thing does not support the Lossless music file format. Bummer.
