Go for apple ipod...............for the best sound performance

Go for Apple ipod.

I heard that iPod shuffle has unchageable batteries, so when they completely die out u have to change the entire iPod...a fren of mine had one n he said this happens within max 1.5 years...

So better to go in for the other choice..
Still u can check out some reviews on the net if available..

[ravi_9793]

I will suggest you creative...becoz it has enhanced features...with better sound quality.

Check this link:

Features vise ZVM blows any other player away.. but iPod got a hell lot of accessories. Thats a plus point, coz we might buy in some add-ons to our players. Having said that I'll never buy any player without FM radio support (me being a radio gaga).

grudge, his requirments is a mp3 player within 5k max, those DAP are way over his budget

Creative is good feature wise, & u can simply drag & drop audio to it. iPod will restrict the user to iTunes only, while with creative u can use many softwares to sync.

I would rather suggest u take a look at the local market, see if u can find out Sandisk Sansa C240

Ahh... I overlooked the post (in fact didn't read properly only).

as i hav always said after i got my ipod:

feature: creative/others
sex appeal: apple

[ajayashish]

i have a Creative NANO... great sound and serves me as a storage drive also

[gdatuk]

go for creative...its good value for money!

[kumarmohit]

Creative because of its features. The sound quality is good enuf to be more than enuf. Besides there is no replaceable battery in shuffle.

There was no need for double threads though. Already being discussed here:

iphone is already getting bad criticisms....dunno if it will be a hit...

[drvarunmehta]

Please don't ever buy an iPod. Creative or iAudio would be the best choice and Transcend, if your budget is really low.

[vikramkh]

but could you please elaborate a lill on why shudnt i buy an ipod cos i was actually thinking of buying ipod nano which for around 9800 i guess as i found out from the music world store here in dehradun. as i have been hearing that there is no match for ipod in its sound quality so could please help on tis

[vikramkh]

Guys thanks a lot for helping,well i had a look a ipod nano its for 9800 and i guess its got decent display so i can stretch my pocket a lill bit for it, it even has 24 hrs battery life plus i can even store pictures in it so well i believe the best would to buy the same wat do u people say but as i have been hearing a lot about the problem with its battery is not changable and i have also been told that it doesnt last longer thn 2 yrs so am really confused here

[drvarunmehta]

I have a Nano (unfortunately) and it plain sucks. iTunes is horribly buggy and hangs for no reason. Why can't Apple just let us use Explorer to drag-and-drop songs? Fuc*ing DRM crap.
Apple does NOT have superior sound quality compared to other players. It mainly comes down to the earphones you use and they all suck equally.
Please don't let the picture viewing gimmick con you into buying this trash. Who wants to view a picture on such a tiny screen? It's about the size of a thumbnail in Windows.
Creative and iAudio make far better players with more features and "removable" batteries (a concept lost on Apple).

^^ finally some1 who understands wat i was trying to say wen i got my ipod

[24online]

IPod or Zune.

[iMav]

zune

[gxsaurav]

Go for ipod, if u want to follow the crowd, & if u like iTunes

Go for sandisk sansa c260, if u like simply explorer drag & drop or auto sync using any music playback application out there. Same goes with creative.

I would prefer the sandisk players, 4 GB size is subjective it depends on your song collection, but with sandisk u have an option to expand the memory later.

iPod won't let u replace the battery, creative & sandisk uses normal battery available out there, u can replace yourself too

My personal choice is although a phone, but for mp3 player check creative zen neeon 2

Hello guys after a long time i am back in the forum as i had exams. And no i am not trying to make myself great. Today i bought a Creative Zen:Vision M. Really speaking i am totally satisfied with it. As i havent felt any other players but only heard about them so cant compare. But i am totally satisfied.

[vikramkh]

Thanks a lot guys could give me lill idea as to how much would a zen microphoto cost and how the sound quality with the ear phones that are available with ipod nano and zen microphoto
