Which mp3 player to buy????

I need a touch screen mp3 player for a 7 year old. Nothing expensive, and want to be able to download apps (games)...any suggestions?

Only item that comes to mind is iPod Touch, but I would buy an OtterBox for it so the unit dont get destroyed, and accessory package you are looking to spend almost $300 on it.
Don't know of anything else on the market that is cheap right now that you can download apps and games to it except for a low end tablet computer running android and not capable of flash playback.

Which MP3 Player Should I buy?

After using a MP3 player in my clunky 5 year old cell phone for years, I'd like to buy a player. I understand that the I-tunes program that my sister downloaded onto my computer, along with her songs will only play on an Apple I-Pod. Does that mean I have to buy an I-Pod, or can I use her songs on a different MP3 player? Is the quality the same for the different brands? I wouldn't be a fan of the monopoly that Apple has if I can avoid it. I just want something light to use for excercise, perhaps a Nano or Sony with 16 GB or so.
Thanks

Nokia is correct the iTunes files are in .m4a format. However you can easily right click on the song in iTunes and select "Create ___ Version". I left that blank in there because iTunes has different conversion options like convert it to mp3, acc, apple lossless, wav or aiff. I should also note this will not affect the original song. It will just make a second copy of it with one being the original in .m4a format and the second being in whatever format you selected.

Which MP3 Player?? Help Ple

Well, My wife's Micro headphone jack broke today. This is the 3rd time for her. I have had the jack on my Micro break 3 times also. She is dead set on getting an iPod because of all of not only her trouble buy my trouble too. I am tired of babying my player to only have it break.
Anyway, I am trying to get her to maybe upgrade to a different Creative product. I don't really care about photo capability. I just want an MP3 player. I really liked my Micro but it seems to have a design flaw. So I am thinking of getting the Sleek. Can anyone comment on the good and bad that they have encountered with this product. If you would suggest it to someone or not. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Skee

If you guys really liked the Micro, check out the MicroPhoto ... I haven't heard of anyone yet (unless I missed it) that have headphone jack problems on the new MicroPhotos. It really is a great and sturdy player (I posted below about what happened to me today with mine).
I have owned all iPod models and still I think the Creative player is a much better player. You'll have to baby that iPod, too. ... probably more so ...

Hello,
If anyone on the Forum here can help me out I would appreciate it greatly!
I am an insurance adjsuter and one of my clients had a bunch of things stolem, among them were two Creative Technology MP3 players. They could not remember a model, but did know that one had more memroy than the other, but...
for some obscure reaosn they had the serial numbers of the two units.
One is M2PF20642Rxxxxxx
the other is MAPF6908350xxxxx
Now those numbers may not be 00% correct, but is that enough information for someone to let me know what these were so I can get replacments for my client?
Thanks in advance!

I was only able to find this:
[LINKY]
I suggest contacting your client and asking them to go online and look at all of creative's players to see which one it is. Maybe a Zen Micro, Microphoto, V, V Plus. Nano plus... I dont know.

Which mp3 player is better: IPod Mini or Zen Mic

And why?

The zen micro is fantatstic BECAUSE:
) Changable battery
2) Radio
3) Voice Recorder
4) 0 colors--thats alot (=
5) its not made by apple
6) Its made by creative
7) its cheaper
8) Way better sound
9) More space (depening what u compare with and which u get)
0) Not made by apple (i said this before but incase you forgot)
) Read my signature...now you dont wanna waste more money--even if i didnt come after you you would still waste money:smileyvery-happy:
2) Not made by apple

Which mp3 player to get???

I'm looking to get my fiance a new one since his iriver broke recently. Looking for lots of storage, preferably a large face & buttons, one that will play movies well, etc etc. I've looked at the itouch, creative zens, sony walkmans...
Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Hi,
Some things depend on how techno geeky your husband is. I have had a creative device before and Loved the thing to death. You don't have to be to techno geeky to get it to work and it plays more formats than the ipods. If he wants a large screen for movies you may want to look at the new Zune HD, some format restrictions but it is supposed to be pretty good quality video.
My new toy is personally going to be the Archos 5. It has a five inch screen, the larges out right now, and a lot of memory. If you go for the hard drive storage payers you can get one up to 500gb. The player looks to need a little techy for some people, but only because it has more extras than I care to mention here. Also will play almost any format you can throw at it.
Good Luck. Hope you find something he likes

Convert to MP3 format/Sync to MP3 player

I have purchased songs from I-tunes for my MP3 player. I can see the songs on in the MP3 file, but can't play them...I think I need to convert the files to MP3 format, but am unsure how to do that. Also, how do you sync from I-Tunes onto my MP3 player?

Can you clarify this a bit more. I assume you are saying that you purchased tracks from the iTunes music store? Is that correct?
If so they are in AAC (MPEG-4) format. Do you know if they are protected tracks or if they are "Plus" (unprotected) tracks?
For Plus tracks, you can import them by going into your preferences in iTunes and changing the IMPORT preference to MP3 format (if you are not already using it). Then "OK" out of preferences, find the songs you need to convert, right click on them and pick "Convert to MP3". This will make a new COPY of the file in MP3 format (the original AAC formatted version will remain there untouched).
For protected tracks, you are not allowed to convert them directly to MP3 files. Instead, all you can do it add them to a playlist then burn them out to an AUDIO format CD. This converts them from AAC to a normal music CD like you would buy in the store. You can then treat the music CD like you would any other music CD including accessing it with iTunes like your store purchased music CDs.
Once you have your MP3 files, usually all you need to do is drag and drop the files from the library window onto your MP3 player mounted on your computer. If it doesn't work directly from the library window, you can always go find the MP3 files in your folder structure and drag and drop them from there to the MP3 player.
Which MP3 player do you have?
Cheers,
Patrick

If you didn't have an MP3 player, and the Xtra and the Micro cost the same. what would you g

Lets say the Xtra and the micro cost the same price. You don't have an Mp3 player yet. You still have the knowledge that you have now for both products.
Which mp3 player would you pick and why?

right now i own the micro. If i had the chance to pick again with the knowledge i have now, I would go with the Xtra.
Because before i didn't know anything about bit rate...... I thought the micro could hold up to 2500songs.
I learned that it will only hold about ,030 songs wma 60kb
ps.
NOT COOL.

A Creative Zen MP3 Player which can work on Windows 2

Hi,
I am wanting to get a Creative Zen MP3 player (or two) which can work with Microsoft Windows 2000. I want to put a number of podcasts on it as well as some music. Unfortunately my PCs are all Windows 2000 and it is not worth my while upgrading.
Now I think that some of the Creative Zen Micro units used to work on 2000. But later versions after firmware upgrades only work on XP. How can I get the right working units?
AK

You can try to get some old Zen players.All new Zen players need at least Windows XP to work and sometimes even the last service pack. If you know that the Zen Micro works on Windows 2000 with a previous firmware, I think that you can find easily on the web this firmware or simply ask to Creative.

Which in your opinion is the best Zen mp3 player on the market? Around the 3100 ($185) ma

Thinking of getting a new mp3 player and was happy with my last one which was a V Plus from Creative until I misplaced it.
Which in your opinion would be the best, reliable and value for money Creative mp3 player out there at the mo around the 300 ($85) price? have browsed the forum here but everyone seems divided.
Cheers

You had to have some kudos for the effort put in to your thread as week as the point you make.

Why can't i buy a creative mp3 player in a normal retail sto

i find it really rather disturbing that creative mp3 players are not more widely available in normal retail stores. i li've in one of the top 0 major metropolitan cities in the USA and i go into my local best buy and all they have is a 5GB micro, a 20GB xtra, and a 20GB(?) touch. why is that all they have? if i want a MUVO, i'm screwed. meanwhile that same best buy has every style, size, and color of all the ipod crap and a million accessories (bleh) but NOTHING for creative. the only micro they have is the black one, and only in the 5GB size. i go to another place like Staples, and they have the muvo TX, no micros.
I go next door the the compusa, they've got a full lineup of all the ypod crap, nothing from creative.
i find it really irritating when one wants to say, buy a player for a friend and cannot find what they are looking for. makes it real easy to buy the freaking ypods. ugh.

hey blood, you're completely missing my point... I KNOW i can order them online at a million places.
the poster that said they don't want to compete with prices, that's insane. there would be NO STORES anywhere if stores were really afraid of that. internet prices are lower for EVERYTHING.
my point is i guess, why don't stores stock more stuff from creative (other then soundblaster stuff)? the answer to my own question is probably that creative stuff does not sell as well as ipod stuff.
the reason i say this is a friend of mine was heading out of town and was interesting in getting an mp3 player for the trip so i suggested he might look into the new creative MIX thingy but we everywhere we looked they had nothing, so the dolt ended up getting an ipod shuffle. oh well. we lost another one due to players just not being in the stores. sad!
I bought my zen micro from a retail store.. In canada. In holland in the one electronics store they have the touch,3 colors of micro, 2 muvo players, and a Xtra. They only had the ipod mini...

Buying a MP3 player want Creative - h

I am 63 and want to buy a MP3 player - friends have suggested Creative. Here is what I need it for and maybe you can give advise. I know nothing about them. I have problems with my eye sight and love to read so friends of mind in same circumstance use the MP3 to download free books and listen while they do crafts, housework etc, during senior citizens meetings etc. So it will be books not music I download. Need easy to operate, long playing battery, ease of recharging, size is not that important just that I can carry around with me and use a headset. I am on SS, Help.

Buying MP3 Player & Video Camera. Help please? :)

Hello, I am preparing to buy an MP3 player and a video camera. I was thinking of picking up an iPod Nano since it seems to have a little bit of everything. However, I have also read that the Nano's camera is awkward to use because of where its lense is actually located. I have limited use of my right hand, so anything that is going to make something more difficult then it already is may not be such a great idea. Anyone use / used the Nano's camera? Is it a decent starting point for someone who has never used any type of video camera before? If the iPod Nano is not an appropriate option for me then I need to choose a different MP3 player, as well as a different means for taking video footage. Since this is the MP3 Player forum, I will focus on (primarily) getting advice about MP3 Players here. What do I want an MP3 player for? -- Going on walks -- Listening to while in the car (I do not drive) -- Listening to while on trips If I do not go with a Nano, I am not sure whether I would want an MP3 player that deals with video (playing it; not recording it) or not. I am kinda leaning both for it and against it. PROS: -- Being able to take short videos with me, either others or ones that I have made to show family / friends -- If I decide to get something with video that is not the Nano then screen size & quality become viable considerations due to somewhat lacking vision. -- If I got something that did video I would likely use it moreso for short clips and anime / cartoons then I would for movies (this has a lot to do with the above-stated vision issues) CONS: --- Getting something that will do video and be worth having is expensive -- Taking a walk with something that does video is likely not the brightest of ideas -- I do not travel a lot and my PC monitor is a 37" LCD HDTV. -- The burnt orange Nano looks cool. (Not practical, but at least its honest.) At any rate, any advice or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks for your time.

Which CreativeLabs MP3 player to upgrade to? Muvo-NX can't rewind & can't select next

I'm pretty happy with my Muvo NX, but I'm frustrated that I can't rewind within an MP3 and the play-order is dictated by the alphanumeric name sort of the MP3 files. How far up in the Creative Labs MP3 player (flash memory or disk) line would I have to go to get these two features?
Thanks....LyleMessage Edited by lyle on 2-05-2004 04:6 AM

Jason,
I have the Creative Muvo N200 gb, just got it yesterday, latest firmware (I think, it is version: .0.02) but I tried the fast forward inside playing back a mp3 and it does not work. I am listening to a recorded am radio show (I am a paid subscriber, the file is a mp3 file), and want to resume where I left off but each time I come back to the file, it starts over at the beginning and I want to forward thru what I've heard already. Can you please be very detailed in how to use the forward? Does the Cue setting have to be on/off/cancel or what? Also, when you see the "On" in Cue, does that mean it is on now, or to press scroll-select to make it on? I also don't know how to cue/review other than toggle the setting, and I don't exactly know what cue/review does. Last, what is "skip section" that audible.com says the muvo n200 can do with this firmware version?
Thanks in advance.
