With all the MP3 players being sold these days, I'm thinking that it might be a good thing to have some of my CDs transfered onto one. I would love to hear what other Lurkers have to say about the current crop, and any support software you use, so here are some questions to start the discussion:
- What player do you use and/or lust after? What about it makes it your favorite? How easy is it to set up categories and/or albums and to then navigate that setup? What formats do you use and what does it support? Does it have voice recording and/or an FM tuner? How is it on battery life and/or is it rechargable?
- What software do you use for ripping your CDs to play on it? How does it perform for speed and quality of sound? What formats does it support and does it convert formats?
- Do you buy MP3s off of one of the services instead of going the CD route? If so, what service and how good is it for services and availability?
I have pretty much ignored the iPods if for no other reason than it seems to be the "in" thing right now and I am not an in-crowd kind of guy. Rio and iRiver both seem to have some really nice units ranging from tiny little units that hold a few dozen songs all the way up to the 20+ gig units that I could never afford to fill.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
