Post Your Mp3 Player

[Poop-Shoop-A-Loop]

Thanks for the input you guys ^^ I guess ipod is out of the question lol. I was planning on buying that(even though I always thought ipods were hideous no offense to ipod owners out there^^;; ).. cause I didn't know of any other players thanks<3

[Guest NASRI22]

^ Exact same thing happened to me!

Did you have to pay 25$ US for handling? They repaired mine, and after they said to give them money. But now that I have the player, I really don't see what they can do... I'm quite annoyed with the fee since I only used the Micro 20 times or so before the headphone jack got messed up.

well thats why you SHOULDNT buy anything online. if something goes wrong you always have to pay for postage & handling.. buy it locally and let the retail shop pay for the postage.

i want a new mp3 player (i have the 4th generation ipod) ... and saw this ... i like!

i think it's the best looking non-ipod

how does this compare to the video ipod? is it thinner/smaller or just the same?

[Guest Volts]

^4H for video playback is pretty low for a pmp

[Guest shred]

^ i'm not really concerned with the video playback anyway

what i'm looking for is:

- space

- battery life

- accessories: FM transmitter (when i'm driving) plus speakers (when i'm home)

- looks

i'm thinking about getting the cowon a2 (same company as iaudio x5).

it's around $400, but i think it'll be worth it.

i've heard rumors that cowon will be releasing another pmp in sept.

[Guest Volts]

^Any source on that rumors of a new pmp by Cowon ? Maybe i'll wait until the new one comes out instead of buying the A2 lol

[Guest Adionik]

Would a 2 year extended warranty on a Vision M be worth it? I realize it has a 1 year warranty from Creative...but I dunno.

The warranty is for 2 years and is 15 bucks. They also got a 3 year for 22.00 bucks. The player itself is 275 shipped, so 15 bucks would still be kinda cheap for it. I doubt i'll have it 3 years for some reason.

QUESTIONS FOR CREATIVE ZVM

i've read the reviews and i'm planning on getting it.

soo yah this may sound liek stupid questions b/c i've only had an ipod.

question --> does the zvm have an "itunes" thing? like how the ipod has itunes? or is it just drag and drop?

question --> for the conversion is it automatic as you upload it?

soo help me please (: thank you

[la folie]

^I don't know how iTune works.. =T but it is a drag and drop thing but using Creative Media Explorer which you will install in order to upload music. It's easy and fast!

If the format is not supported, you need to use their converter(or any other converter as long as it's converted to the right format) to convert your videos. So to answer your question, I guess it's not "automatic" as you call it - more like manual, lol.

[NaughtyDog]

Another question about the Creative Zen Vision:M =P

1. How do you get cd covers to work? For some reason, it only works on some, and not others =S

2. How long does it take to convert dramas or movies...(It works for me, but it takes REALLY long for a Korean drama to be converted...)

3. If you don't use the Creative Video Converter, what program do you use?

I really love this player though! =D
