is it Ipod or Zune? i want something with good sound quality and loud sound, other than that i dont care about the rest
-
I got one of those $30 mp3 players from Target that hold 1 gig of music. It's nice for the gym cause you can drop it and it doesn't break, and nobody's gonna steal it, because it's just so fugly.
Of course, I still have a *tape* player in my truck, so...

I'm on my second ipod. I had a second generation of the original (hard disk based) and got the new Nano, in black, the day it came out. http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ Works great. I love it! Now, I can shoot movies of all the muscle boys and porn stars at my gym without them even knowing! ;D
-
Depends on what you need it to do. If you are asking between those two, I'd choose the iPod if only for the convenience. Zune is cool though.
I have a few different ones, but I enjoy my 8g Sansa Fuze most at the moment. Got it refurb @ Newegg for 50$. It's light (flash-based memory as compared to hard drive), has FM radio, does voice recording, video, and the sound chip is pretty good. You add files by dropping them onto the respective folder.
The Creative players are good in regard to sound and video, but not sure about extra features. Creative has a file manager to add and remove files.
iPods are fine for users that don't want to futz around and does have a simple mode of adding files (iTunes). The sound is decent.
There many in between, but that's my basic overview.

yeah right now i have a Sandisk i think its 4G of memory i got it for like 70$, it does what i want, but the sound doesnt get loud enough, i had an ipod a while ago it kept freezing on me and giving me the sad face error so i was like fuck it... At one point i even got the Archos 605 or 650, that shit was expensive but couple of drops in thee gym, that was the end of it...
so right now i just want something with good and loud sound, i could care less aout FM, voice recording, games, video etc

kinda true cuz some guys just really sell themselves at a premium knowing that some schmoe won't be rich enought to "call their bluff"
now the cheap ones will give you your money's worth cuz you know they are always working and perfecting their craft

I had a nano that died (becareful with whatever you get) when it got wet.....and to keep my itunes going I bought a Shuffle which is cheaper and practical. Depends how much you want to spend and how many songs you want. I am a iTunes addict!!!! Good luck!!!

an ipod liberal douche?

Can anyone say for sure if there is one single mp3 player with the absolute BEST sound quality and volume? Also what would be the BEST headphones to use with this player (under $300.00).
-
Unless you're planning to listen to solely lossless formats, it's all about diminishing returns with mp3 format.
I'd say check out head-fi.org for audiphile recommendations. In my experience, Creative sounds great with Sansa's Fuze and Clip neck-and-neck and iPod last. iPods don't sound crappy, they just sound a bit over-processed at times. If you want to buy a lesser-known but well-respected brand, check out the models offered by Cowon. I haven't heard them, but the guys on head-fi seem to like them a lot with the Sansa Fuze/Clip.
For headphones, people raved about Grados, but the open-air design might not be suited for gym, train, public. Eytmotics and Shures get a lot of love for in-ear designs.
If you asked me and I was a friend, I'd say get a Sansa Fuze or Clip and a pair of JVC Marshmallow earbuds for 20$. You could spend more on headphones but if you're really not planning to adopt listening to lossless and esoteric formats like FLAC and Monkey and elite soundcards (that don't really exist in mp3 players), it turns into money wasted.

Thanks. I listen to a lot of trance and it's very annoying to use a portable device and lose all the bass and depth of the music. All you are really hearing is thump thump thump and a some synthesizer rifs. I want an audio-phile status mp3 headphone setup that i can use at the gym or also to travel or sit for hours playing poker etc. Maybe a diff set of headphones for the gym...

The new Nanos have video/still cameras in them.
Did what's his name say his has a camera/video recorder?
-
Ah! The other thing with premium headphones is that they are designed for a flatter response. You'll probably be a bit underwhelmed once you hear the music 'properly'. If you want the boombap, I'd stick with something with neodymium magnets and in-ear buds/canalphones like the Sony MDR-E series. I really liked them, but they had a weird quality issue with the rubber decomposing. Hopefully, it's fixed now. JVC Marshmallows and Skullcandy are cool too, but I definitely liked the feel and sound of the Sony.

I'm considering to buy this Skullcandy headphone since it's wireless and for over the ears.

sansa clip. Mp3 , datakey, radio, microphone, 3 colors higlhy readable OSD, very small, has a very useful clip. Serious brand (sandisk): above average memory and battery quality.
Cheap, reliable (survived being "protected" in a barely closed pocket thru a washing machine and dryer cycle, and got in contact with babells and plates ;D)

I have this one, picked it up at Walmart, 8GB for $50. Couldn't be any easier to use.

TOP FUCKING NOTCH! STILL ROCKING IT HARDCORE!!!!!

You do see that there is an iPod inside of it, yes? :)

I enjoy my 1st generation 30g Zune. Sounds great and the software updates keep it fresh with everything. Including apps if you are into that.

Awaiting delivery of a Cowon. Recommended to me as easy to use and superior sound. We'll see.

120 gig iPod. I have so much music, I wish that there was 500-1000 gig one, but on the hand, deminishing returns. But I have those headphones that came with it, and I really, really want to upgrade.

Yep, bought a relatively expensive Denon hi-fi system a couple of years ago, only for the cd player to go tits a couple of months after the warranty expired.
Took it back to the retailer and they told me that Denon, Sony and Teac all suffer from the same problem - as they use the same component - and there was fuck all they could do about it.
Definitely think twice about shelling out cash on expensive technology now.

Great little player. I needed to replace a little 2Gb no frills player at Christmas time when a shaker burst open in my bag and ruined it.
I got the 8Gb Sansa clip for i think £40($60 dollars maybe?) and it's perfect.
Keep you ipods, i'll take that anytime.
Creative players are alright, i had a little solid state one that did me fine (although at 64Mb it only does me as a memory stick now). My mother had a hard drive based one that she'd get problems with every now and then and have to format it but it mostly works okay. I think my bro bought a similar model which fucked up so he sent it back and got himself an ipod.

;D In truth I drive a 2005 Mazda van with all the ladders, planks, and pvc pipes strapped to the roof rack. Plenty manly but fuckin' ugly. Have to get someting one of these days that isn't a rolling pussy repellant.
