opinion poll ? :)
Sooo ...
I want to get a MP3 player that has a *lot* more storage.
Looking at the amount of music I have, podcasts and I'd like to be able to throw one or two video's on there too, I'd really like to go with something no less than 50 to 60 GB minimum. :)
Now the question is- what type of MP3?
IPod or zune ?
Honestly, the only actual avantage I see to ipod/apple products is it's easier to find the free 'podcasts' online on things like NPR and news websites etc.
Otherwise, I find that I keep getting annoyed with itunes b/c when I drag CD's into my ipod shuffle, it keeps putting songs out of order. It also keeps putting the multi-artist CD's split apart in my 'music' area instead of keeping it as *one* CD. AND I really hate having the un-closable 'itunes store' running in the window no matter what, which also makes the whole program run slower.
Also- zune/microsoft products are cheaper.
Sooo... I'm leaning slightly toward zune.
But I really must admit the ipod 'touch' is capitivating. If only the d2mn thing carried it's own wireless connection instead of having to be at a wi-fi hot spot. bleh But it's also like $400 !! and easily lost in my thinking. Hmmm...
Comments, thoughts or considerations? :)
