09.25.12 | i've had my ipod classic since christmas of 06 and it still works fine |
ILJ
09.25.12 | I've got one. Been using them for a long time, only ever had one break. Good mp3 players man. Their media player is clunky as hell though. |
ChuckyTruant
09.25.12 | how are zune's though? |

09.25.12 | moar liek Who Ever Used Zune |
ILJ
09.25.12 | They're pretty dependable to be honest. There's the occasional issue here and there but that can generally be fixed with a reset.
The one I had break I dropped on a hardwood floor and it somehow hit perfectly parallel to the floor. Tiny thing made a horribly loud sound when it hit. Knew before I even picked it up that it was broken. |

09.25.12 | they seem expensive |
1drummer
09.25.12 | zune is far better. |
ILJ
09.25.12 | A little cheaper than comparable ipods last I checked.
Might be more now though since they've been discontinued. |
ChuckyTruant
09.25.12 | hmm. i've had ipods since i was like 10 so I've never even considered anything else tbh |
Calc
09.25.12 | One horrible thing is Zune doesn't support FLAC files. But I'm not looking to sample any songs I just wanna listen to them so it's not a big deal to me.
Also if anyone ever finds 3 please tell me where ya got it. |
piglets
09.25.12 | lol as if any of you own any equipment that would make an obvious difference in the sound quality |

09.25.12 | ^exactly my point lol |

09.25.12 | I've had the same 30GB Zune for over 4 years. I bought it for $100 back then. Good investment. |

I think I saw some mod somewhere on the internet that allowed Zune to support flac but I could be mistaken. Either way, Zune doesn't offer enough storage space for me to throw flac files on there.
I don't even have much flac anyway. |
piglets
09.25.12 | yo im elite yt user: skicarl told me how ipod classic doesn't have the kind of input jack that the zune hd has
yea that's totally going to make a big difference on your 100 dollar sennheisers |
ILJ
09.25.12 | "I haven't had a problem with my iPod Classic. No reason to get anything else."
Are they much better in terms of build quality than modern ipods are? I've been thinking about grabbing one of these because of the huge storage space but I'm still on the fence. |
menawati
09.25.12 | ye, cant see the point of flacs on portable players, home streaming to some half decent kit ye ofc |
menawati
09.25.12 | depends, if u just use a portable to listen while running or on a noisy train it don't really matter whether its 128 or 320 |
ILJ
09.25.12 | "i mean if the difference between 128 and 320 kbps doesn't bother you, you're probably an idiot"
That drives me nuts.
I can handle 192 but any lower and it starts to bother me. |

ViralOblivion
09.25.12 | The Zune program is much better than iTunes and it's easier to use Zune to rearrange your music and sort it out Zune is better for as much shit as it gets ice had my Zune since 07 still works perfectly I've had to reset it a few times but that's it |
Emim
09.25.12 | "moar liek Who Ever Used Zune"

i deleted the ones on mine with no problem |

Emim
09.25.12 | I don't see how that has any bearing on your Zune incompetence. Ha! |
Calc
09.25.12 | You were supposed to say yes. Then I say right on me too.
But if you had mine you couldn't do it either. It doesn't show up or anything |
erandolph90
09.25.12 | iPod Nano I've had since '08 still going hard. Only downside is it has "Love Always" engraved on the back. Pretty sure the guy I bought it from on eBay had his soul crushed or something. |
Emim
09.25.12 | Ah, well cool then. And that sucks. Mine just showed up like anything else on the HD |

09.25.12 | "i mean if the difference between 128 and 320 kbps doesn't bother you, you're probably an idiot"
Kind of agree, just would replace the 'idiot' part.
"depends, if u just use a portable to listen while running or on a noisy train it don't really matter whether its 128 or 320"
You must be using cheap earbuds then, I can hear the difference clearly even while running.
"I can handle 192 but any lower and it starts to bother me."
And this. I only accept those if I'm low on cash or I can't find a better dload.
I have some 128 kbps albums though, just because it was literally the only way to get them besides paying 100 bucks for the vinyl.
Oh, and Zune ftw.
I would have died to acquire a Zune HD back in the day but stupid Microsoft only released them in the US. Too bad they've been discontinued. Now we only have Sony, Cowon and Sandisk
and Apple if you don't care. |

It works fine until you try to connect to the internet, then it just crashes. That, and the PC recognizes it but Zune software won't. It's really annoying, and I want to try to fix it if I can help it. lol |

08.02.14 | I really dislike how specific iPod's are, like how they don't accept all formats and the chargers are specific, where something like my Sansa Clip+ plays all but one format and has that tasty universal charger |

That and a dedicated music player very often offers better music quality. I use my Walkman over my android phone. |

08.03.14 | My Zune finally crapped out on me after years of use (backlight went out; wouldn't charge). I got a 160 GB iPod classic, but man...I miss my Zune. I would have loved a 128 GB Zune HD. |

08.03.14 | "guys it's 2014 use your damn phone and pay for spotify"
idk about you but i have around 6,000-7,000 songs so yeah...a phone is out of the question. I'm not ADHD (well, i actually am) in the music department to where i "like" an artist but only have like 3 songs from each album, i'm an avid music fan, been to well over 200 concerts since i was a lil girl, have loads of T-shirts and all that. i think making a phone do everything is a huge downfall and id rather keep my MP3's separate.
"The Zune software won't open FLAC or ogg. Sucks meaty ones."
true but they have online programs to convert them, not really a big deal |
ChoccyPhilly
08.03.14 | A phone is a phone and even though they're getting better, their music capabilities will forever be inferior to the technology that is actually designed solely for music |
