Title: Help Wrath buy a new MP3 player.
Post by: Wrath2X on September 28, 2013, 05:00:27 PM
I love my iPod classic, but I think I should get something with both more storage and better sound quality. I've been looking into my options and all I found was Zunes and Walkmans that had way too low storage and used touch screens  :-\

Can you fellow borritos help a guy out?

Why not just use your phone?

Most of the niche brands that audiophiles pick up have small storage so I think a 160 GB iPod Classic might be the best option.

There is a thread on GAF about mp3 players, a Sansa Clip Zip with Rockbox custom firmware gets recommend mostly.

I dunno dude, what do you call those musical bangles you sometimes see on camels?

And did the desert dudes actually fuck their camels? Which explains why camels are permanently pissed off, a bit like girls really.

If you have a smartphone, you might want to look at putting most of your music online on something like Google play. It's very simple but yeah it obviously requires using a touchscreen device.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone fucking a camel. They're too tall aren't they?

They probably used ropes, and fed them opiates beforehand.

Hey, like the sex trade!

Do you really need to carry that much music around, or are we talking about uncompressed files?

I love my Sansa Clip. :heart I think I've had it for almost five years now.

I have an 80gb zune that my sister bought for a christmas present for me about 2 years ago. Used, but that's what I told her I wanted. And I love it. It's plugged in all the time in my car, and I've filled it about halfway.

i gots a sansa clip zip, its just ok
its rly small and you can put rockbox on it, its best feature

rockbox is like alternative firmware for mp3 devices that lets you play more file types and stuff like flac
i recommend a rockbox supporting device for that reason alone

http://www.rockbox.org/

anyway the clip zip i dont reommend overal cause the sound quality is just ok, as expected from a small device I suppose
worlds smallest doom player though

my personal favorite mp3 player ever was creative zen vision m, its old and bad now i imagine

My Clip is one of the first models, without an SD slot and everything. It plays FLAC and OGG and a bunch of other file types natively. That's why I never bothered to put Rockbox on it.

Most likely.

Everything shipping from Apple right now has 7 on it, and usually the firmware locks out earlier versions of the OS. This is also true for newer Mac units and older versions of OS X.

Thanks, I'll pass then. I wanted one for music and I haven't heard any good about the music player in iOS7 from my friends or online reviews.
