Poll: Zune, iPod or Other?

[Captain_Ne-San]

A very random curiosity, because I have a 8 gig Zune. Love it, only reason I'm getting rid of it is to help pay for the 30 gig Zune I'm saving for. So what's everyone else digital poison?

If you answer other, what kind of music making device do you have?

 

[KittywifaMohawk]

I have an Ipod, but I got it before Zune's were popular, but I don't know many people with a zune, so I'm just gonna stick with an ipod

I got a mini video iPod a day ago. I plan on getting a 8 gig Zune, though, so I can hook it up to my 360.

2 gig iPod shuffle, I have my playlist memorized...

 

[SteinFaust]

i went from radio to tape, tape to cd, cd to PSP, PSP to generic MP3 player, GMP3P to iPod.
30 gigs of music, but it won't play on my 360 T_T

I have a Zune. I figure, I haven't gone Mac yet, so why start with an MP3 player?

Also I got 4G Zune barely used from some chick I made out with one time for like, $80 bucks American. A good price for something that would normally cost like, $150. I like it alot better than the shitty RCA Pearl I was using before hand.

Other: Sandisk Sansa e250 [http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3402958]. 2 gigs, but you can get them in 2/4/or 8 gig variants, and they all have FM tuners (take that iPod!).

At the time I couldn't argue with the price: Last year about this time I payed $30 CAD including shipping. I got a 2 gig SD Micro and wouldn't switch to any other player I've seen.

The screen is nice and vibrant, I love the default firmware, but it's also compatible with Rockbox [http://www.rockbox.org/] (for you iPod lovers). Only problem is some people apparently get lemons, but everyone I know who has one loves the little thing.

EDIT: Before that I used a:
- PSP with a 4 gig memory stick
- before that was an MPIO FL100 (worst MP3 player I've ever had the displeasure of holding in my hands)
- and way back in like grade 7 I had an MP3 player called a VaroMan [http://img.alibaba.com/photo/10086857/VaroMan.jpg]. 32 megs of internal memory, and a 32 meg Smart Media [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Smartmedia_card_closeup.jpg/800px-Smartmedia_card_closeup.jpg] card .

I'm in the "other" category. My first mp3 player was the MPIO FL100, great sound and very pretty but the software was crap. My current player is a Samsung YP-03; tiny, 8GB Flash, great software, but the sound's not quite as good as the older MPIO.

Once upon a time I had an iPod Shuffle. It died in my pocket one afternoon just after the warranty expired. I did not replace it and do not miss it.

I don't particularly like my iPod, but I've got the accessories for it, so I'm stuck. (Curse you thoughtful gifts!)

 

[AntiAntagonist]

Got my iPod for free. If I ever upgrade I'll consider it again.

30 GB Zune for me. So happy they finally added video to the Zune store.

 

[corporate_gamer]

80GB classic Ipod.

i have lots of music. lots and lots.

 

[Death Magnetic]

Ipod nano with not enough memory for my liking. Still pretty neat-o piece of tech.

 

[BrovenHoppin]

I bought the 30 gig Zune shortly after launch. I've been pretty happy with it, though I wish it was physically a little smaller. And it's a lovely shade of brown.

You can hook Ipods to your 360 at least I can(8GB nano) its nice to create a custom soundtrack on itunes for a game and just run that though the 360

 

[Calobi]

Sansa e260. 4 gigs of media player goodness, plus a MicroSD slot and FM radio.

 

[Trogd0r]

Creative Zen Vision: M 30gb

I love it, but it's a bit bulky, so I use my 1gb iPod Nano when I go to the gym or something.

 

[John Galt]

I got a Zune. I love the software, I find it much more user-friendly than iTunes. You can actually get music off someone else's device without completely connecting it with your computer at the hip.
