What is a good small MP3 player to get? - GoFuckYourself.com

LaurieX · 12-20-2005, 12:07 PM

I want a tiny one just to mainly use when I go for a run. It doesnt have to hold a ton of songs cause I can change them once in a while. I want an inexpesive one seeing that I will really only use it while excersising. Suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Ah, I just had an RCA and wasn't too happy with it... then again it is a few years old.. got it in 2003.

Been rocking Samsung's YP-C1 for a couple of months now and I love it.

1 Gig (actually 940 megs), drag and drop, built-in equalizer, voice recording and some other shit you can read for yourself.

A big selling point for me was it uses standard AA batteries, none of that built-in power supply that if you're out running or biking fucks you in the ass.

well, if exercising is your main use (you probably won't need more than an hour's worth of tunes) the ipod shuffle is pretty hard to beat.

Until you have to replace the battery. Then it might not look like such a good deal.

Noooooo! I bought one. Didn't work. Got a replacement and it lasted about 4 months. I took it back to Radioshack and they tell me RCA doesn't even make them anymore. Too many problems and hard as hell to load music on. I now have a little Sansa SanDisk that I love. It is perfect for runs or using at the gym.

When it's time to change batteries it will be so old you still don't want it anyway. I've had an old iPod 3G for about three years and I listen to it almost every day (not weekends). The battery time is not great now, but it's old and most importantly it's with a (rotating) harddrive (using a lot of battery).

That's the reason I went with a player that takes regular batteries. If I'm out biking or jogging and run outta juice I simply pop a fresh battery in and keep going.

With a built-in battery the player becomes a nice paperweight until you get home and recharge it. Fuck. That. Shit.

Sounds like a job for iPod Shuffle.
