MP3 Players

[SarahC07 0]

Nike Phillips makes some really cool MP3 players... I own 2 of them- a 64 mb and a 500ish mb one... I use them when I run/workout. Both work fabulously and I can use musicmatch (a music playing program) to transfer music onto them.

just my .02

When i was a kid, my parents bought me the cheaper versions of popular stuff. They didn't care if I whined that it was not cool. I just had to suck it up.

LOL...that's pretty much the way it is in my house too. It would go like this, "You want an MP3 player? You get what I decide to give you. If you want a different one, save your money and buy it yourself." I'm such a meanie.

Actually, he's the one who asked me if an iPod was the same thing as an MP3 player, so I don't think he's too hung up on getting an iPod.

Basically, it's so you can download music from the internet and carry it around, right? (I told you I know nothing! )

Is an iPod just a brand name for a MP3 player? Why is it the hot thing?

I have a 20GB iPod. It's compact sleek and has can play for two days without repeating a song. I can download all my address book and contacts into it, and I still have room for another 5000 songs.

The thing I like about the iPod is that it can integrate into all the other stuff that you have, like wireless connections into your stereo, and network out to to other PC and Macs. Most luxury cars like BMW, Mercedes, Saabs, Alfas etc also offer the Ipod dock as an option.

well lucky you! how old is he, there will soon be a time when they know all about every electronic devices, if they are a must, and how to work them... it started when she was 10 or 11.. I love my daughter... she is well worth a stupid couple hundred buck thingy... if it really makes her happy.
How much was the stainless option or the inset stabiliz on my latest rig?... humm..

Ugh, everytime i see those earbuds, I just want to scream, "YOU ARE DEGRADING YOUR LISTENING EXPERIENCE!!!"

Seriously, earbuds just suck for hearing all the levels in songs. I got my Koss Portapros..they rule. 40 bux. Lifetime warrenty. I guess I ain't cool.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Just last night I read an article in "Blender" magazine about how thieves are targeting people when they see the white headphones. They know it's an iPod then and they know you'll have the music up and will be less in-tune with your surroundings and snatch it right off you and run!

Some schools have bonus points for honors and AP classes. Mine was one of those, and I had over a 4.0. It's not impossible.

Oh, and Skymama, thanks for posting this thread. Based on the replies, I'm gonna head to Best Buy tonight and get an MP3 player!

Hopefully then your son can kick them in the..... uh... shin!!! Is he a strong lad?!

I'm not going to argue semantics here. All I'll say is that it's impossible to get over a 4.0 on a 4 point scale (which is what GPA is). Bonus points change the scale.

Andrea, SANDISK, 256 minimum, 512 (mine) is actually more than I use, but nice to have a variety of music to choose from.

Actually, that's how it is in the schools here too. The Advanced placement classes are weighed heavier than normal classes on the 4.0 scale. All of the top students have grades over 4.0 when they graduate.

LMAO...you're a smart man. He's been playing since he was 5. His thigh muscles are HUGE for a kid his age!

Since when did GPA HAVE to be a 4.0 scale? That is just one type. My high school did our averages on the 100 point scale (as in I had a 97 percent average).

I guess this whole argument originated with me. Hence, I apologize.
