Also to add, there are plenty of mp3 players that mainly plays only music and/or has the radio built in. Iriver, Creative Labs/Zen, Sony (rip-off imo), and a number of other brands that has simple mp3 players but with features that are not too tech savvy.

The iPod is a MP3 player... huh.gif

Tech Specs from the Apple iPod site:
"Audio formats supported: AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 (32 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible, AIFF, Apple Lossless and WAV"

err
yes the iPod is MP3 player in the beginning. but now it can store pictures as digital photo album. its not like mostly mp3 players that using eeprom upto 1GB, iPod using harddisk upto 60GB. so the capasity is so higher than others.
the other competitor is creative with CMP - compact media player, that can store pictures as well.

I have a 40 gig iPod which cost $300 (ouch), but I don't EVER regret buying it. I've got over 75 albums (most of them I own on CD) on it, and I can use it as an external hard disk. Photos CAN be stored on it, but not viewed. One nice feature is the ability to store and view small text files, so you can put in reminders or even lyrics. The battery lasts up to 12 hours (though it seems less sometimes), and I've got over 1500 songs on it. The software I use with it, iTunes, is awesome. It's got customisable playlists, shuffle, radio, and equaliser settings. My only gripe is this (and this applies to almost every mp3 player I've used): no seamless playback. You have a live recording on CD, and you rip it to the player. Well, even with no 2-second pause like some CDs have, there's always those gaps in between tracks, no matter what. The only format that's bypassed that limitation is Sony's OpenMG format, also known as ATRAC3(plus), which is pretty crappy anyway.

Which brings me to my next point. Another nice little player is the Sony NetMD Walkman. It's a little more pricey, but NICE. It's small, sleek, fast, and smart. Although I have to gripe about their SonicStage software. I don't know how to work it very well....

I also have some advice for you: Stay away from RCA/Thompson's LYRA player!! It is a HORRIBLE abomination of technology that should be exorcised and burned at the stake! It freezes A LOT, has poor battery life, and loads extremely slow. Bad, bad RCA. No cookie for you.

No wonder everyone in america has an ipod, they're so godamn cheap, 40gig for only 300? In holland a 20gig is 329euro and 40gig is 400euro+ - it's a rip and everybodyknows it. An american friend of mine even said so. ohh well, i have zen touch and thats fine with me.

iPods do have more features than most mp3's but they cost more. I think it all depends on how you will use what you buy. If you like doing more than just listen to music and do stuff like look at pictures, watch videos, and surf the web, then the iPod is what you want.

Ipod Vs Mp3

Replying to arnzI like the idea of having music, but really want easy access to "podcast" type talk shows, books on tape etc. I am really cheap and definitely see this as a "want/frivilous purchase" and not a need. Hoping to go the cheapest way that will also give me the ease of access (not very Tech Savvy) and some ability to save for short periods of time. Anyone got some good suggestions?

iPods are great, compared to the other MP3's out there, i dont really look at the other MP3s, the cheap brand is a waste of battery power and the more expensive brands are worse than the iPod but more expensive than the iPod dry.gif

well i got the new iPod nano (widescreen) and an iPod Touch biggrin.gif

And i think that the iPod is better smile.gif

    they will all become one thing. in 5 years you will be able to make calls with iPOD or connect to
    the net etc. I think that they should just stick with the music and maybe a radio tunner. No need
    for the colored screen and the pictures. If you want ot trasnfer such files get a usb flash memory
    and watch them on a digital camera or ur pc. Now iPOD will get even higher than the super
    overpriced price it has and it will also get heavier more hard to use and i think it's ....

  8. Linux on Ipod ?

    Overview Unfortunately, Apple considers the iPod a "closed platform", so technical info is
    basically non-existant. This project has involved a fair amount of guesswork, reverse-engineering
    and experimentation, resulting in a Linux kernel based on the uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) port
    running on the iPod. We hope that this port of Linux to the iPod inspires others to see what their
    "closed platform" hardware can do! Due to the highly collaborative nature of this project, we
    decided to use a WIKI for our documentation. Its goal is to provide a strong structure of....
