I want one of these

do you guys like it?
If you are wondering what it is, it is a poor man's I-Pod

I have a 3rd generation 30gig iPod in good-to-excellent shape I'm selling - comes with remote, dock, firewire cable, AC adapter, belt pouch, cloth pouch for the AC adpater, and the original box.  I don't have the original headphones anymore and I'm keeping the replacements.

I have a guy who's supposedly interested in it at the moment, but if he falls through it's up for grabs.

get the nano

I have a nano...its flash memory instead of the spinning harddrive so vibration doesn't mess with it, plus...its just plain cool

i would get one but it would be against my moral (of not buying mac stuff)

The Nano is WAY too small for me. 4GB for $250? Definitely not worth it. I'll take my 40GB one over the Nano anyday. Plus, I got my 40GB one for $284 shipped !

well, both serves different purposes...bigger is not always better

Who honestly has 40GB of music? i would have a hard time filling the 4 gig one.

I use mine for more than just music. I store notes and contact information on there as well. I've got 5.66 GB of music on this computer right now, and I have yet to transfer the majority of it from my old computer. On the old one I had about 16GB of music, and my new computer has much more new music. The data capability of mine is a wonderful thing as well. Very useful.

I have a pda for all the other stuff, so I jus use my nano for music. Plus the student discount/yale employee discount = $199 for the 4gb which I thought was very fair

My girlfriend just bought a Dell mp3 player, I dunno anything about it and neither does she yet. She just got it today. Not even sure of the capacity, but I know it is an iPOD competitor. Was about $200 I think. So she gave me her OLD, little one - a 128mb one. Haha. Good enough for using for walks/workouts  

my 40GB player still has about 15GB free.  a 4GB player really wouldn't do much for me, though flash-memory is nice.

Me

I have over 75 gigs of music and only ever loaded 15 or so onto my ipod at any one time.  Even then I never listened to all of what was there before reloading it.  4GB is a little small, yes, but the bonus of not having any seek times, a lack skips or jumps if the player gets rattled, etc. would make it worthwhile for me.  4GB is still over 8 hours of music depending on the bitrate of your files.

Then freakin buy one or have your parents buy you one.

I have a 256MB iLO ($60 at walmart).

By song 12 or so, im done listening.

btw, I've never been able to 'fill her up'    (REALLY!)

I had a couple of Memorexs (gave one to my sister, the other was stolen when those guys broke in) and a Philips Rush.  Hated the latter and was happy when I managed to accidentally run it over.  I got a Rio Forge 256 and have a MMC card hanging around to expand.  It's a great little player; good interface, good ergos, rembers where in the song you stopped when you turn it off or run out of batteries; has an FM tuner and is Audible compatible.  $70.

I have both my 2nd-gen 20GB iPod and new 60GB iPod completely full. I lug both of them around together. Also have another 600MB of audio books on my Sony Ericsson S710a. Gonna have to get the 80GB one when it gets released in the next couple of weeks.

I thought about getting the nano, but for the $200 it would cost to get the 2 gig one I could get the 5 gig Creative Zen Micro (which is shown at the very top). The Zen not only holds more songs, but it can play the radio and record songs off the raido as well.  It is not as easy to use as the I-pod though.

Oh-well. I just have more than 500 songs to hold
