Title: IPOD - Other MP3 players
Post by: rabhan on September 24, 2003, 02:11:35 PM
now while i listen to flac's in my vehicle, i am looking for a small non-cd player type device to listen to music when i go to the gym or on the airplane, etc. are ipods the best for this? are they the only devices that have 10-40gigage? is anyone using any of these types of devices? i know that the ipod also stores wav files. i dont care to get into the mp3 bashing thread, just looking for a portable player. thanks!

I have the original 10 gig iPod and I love it.  Not sure anything can compete with it on size/usability.  Only downside is that it is rather expensive...

Why not get a jb3 and use it for taping if you wanted to as well!

the ipod headphone amp is actually one of its better features.  I run a mini out to a rca ins for my car deck and it sounds freaking great....
