Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thanatos" data-source="post: 3000817" data-attributes="member: 5261">I've had a few MP3 players in my time...1 was an off brand that died after about a year1 was a creative nano that was really nice. It wasn't that model, but the 250 mb one. The problem was I outgrew it super fast. 1 gig doesn't go far these days. Creative does make fantastic sound cards btw <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But the truth is? if I was going to spend 120, I'd get the 2 gig Nano I-Pod. I got the 4 gig myself and find I haven't grown into yet, but nearly have once I discovered podcasts.I've really enjoyed my Ipod Nano. The only issue is, they scratch super easy so get a case for it that completely covers it.You do not have to buy music from i-tunes to load on it. You can load up your collection of mp3's from your hard drive to it, you just do it through the i-tunes software, which is very similiar to creatives software. You can also download podcasts into it, there are quite a few good ones over a varitey of subjects -- even daily news, so that means you can often take the news you listen to with you. 2-4 gigs also let you do audio books.The menu is controlled by a dial you run your finger around, so super nimble manual dexterity is not required. I was really against those Ipods and a friend let me borrow his for a few days and I was hooked. The Nano's are solid state technology and so do not skip. There is even a smaller one called he micro you can wear around your neck as well.  They have car-accessories so you can listen to it in your car or as a small stereo system for your home or plug into your pc (as well as via standard usb).Sound quality is still on par with creative. The only thing I did not like were the ear pieces. I got some off brand ones with rubbery ends.So, I'd recommend an i-pod. 2 gig minimum. -- give those podcasts a try too.</blockquote>
