hey guy i want to buy portable MP3 player but cant decide between iPod n Creative Nomad!! Budget is 250$ Shud i buy it from US or INDIA??PLz recommend something!!

go for the one which is cheap, if iPod is cheap then go for iPod mini, that is all U will ever need, the bugger iPods are useless

However, I will say go for Samsung or Creative Portable media centers

Hi
Creative Nomad Rocks mad , go for it . Got 20 Gb of space and can store about 3000 mp3s also if you buy from US then might be able to get it for 200$.
Enjoy

Nemesis · 04-02-2005, 09:07 PM

u said price aint more than 2k...now what am i supposed 2 think, huh??? if u wanted 2 say that the price diff is not more than 2k then u should have clearly mentioned that...no point in misleading forum users who read the thread....

TheGuru · 06-02-2005, 11:53 PM

iRiver H320 all the way! This is the one if you are looking for some solid features. Check this out:
http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/hd/h320.aspx

300$ US.

The main thing that sucks in an iPod is that it is not really plug-n-play - you need to install drivers to access it. No FM, no WMA, limited battery backup and blah blah blah. Creative players also don't support plug n play [ last I checked - maybe the newer ipods and creative players do? ] Look at what featured you valus the most and decide. I own an iRiver H120 and trust me - it rocks!

thnx 4 bringing this 2 my notice
nobody sane would believe some1 , if the guy was 2 say that a 5GB player costs 19.5 n a 20 GB 1 costs 2K (both frm the same company)

votever u thoght , lets end the discussion here n not waste each otherz time

Nemesis · 07-02-2005, 09:11 PM

ok ill end the discussion...its not a question of sanity or anything....all i wanted 2 say is b careful next time when posting prices....

adorablesrini · 16-02-2005, 11:19 PM

wel i was thinkin of takin Creative Zen Micro. My unc is comin next month so wil get it thru him!!!

goobimama · 17-02-2005, 03:11 PM

iPod has a much better feel to it. If you can afford it, go for the iPod. It has class and status. the creative is just another mp3 player. God I love those things...

vignesh · 17-02-2005, 06:16 PM

Creative muvo 2 is really cool

Nemesis · 17-02-2005, 07:12 PM

@goobimama: its form vs function...if u want looks, then iPod is the clear winner...but if u want VFM and features, the either the Creative Zen series or the iRiver series r good options....

adorablesrini · 17-02-2005, 10:53 PM

me agree with Nemesis thats y thought of takin Creative as i wud like to hav FM n other options. Just class n Style wont do much good!!

enoonmai · 18-02-2005, 05:19 PM

Getting the iPod doesnt really make all that much of a sense, especially considering how the iTunes store isnt really available here even. I vote for the Creative Zen. I have a MuVo and I can vouch for the ruggedness and quality of the Creative products.

u dont need iTunes 2 listen 2 music...

how many ppl do u think would actually buy music of iTunes 2 use in their iPods???

enoonmai · 18-02-2005, 11:03 PM

I was talking about the iTunes store since some of the music that I am searching for cannot be found on any P2P network and I was able to find/sample the songs at the iTunes store but was unable to actually go ahead and buy it. I use iTunes otherwise to manage my 4.3 day music collection. But seriously, its not really that hard to fork out 99¢ for a song that you cant find anywhere else, is it? It sure beats buying the entire album on CD for a couple of songs and then ripping them to MP3.

Nemesis · 19-02-2005, 04:46 AM

very true enoonmai....but did u try searching for ur music on other music services??? just curious

enoonmai · 19-02-2005, 05:12 AM

Oh yes, tried every single other service I could find, all the way from AllofMP3 to MSN Music, iTunes was the only one that carried the songs, but a crying shame that I couldn't actually buy the track. I finally tracked ONE track down out of 12 on the LimeWire network, and some poor guy/girl with a modem connection was kind enough to wait while it uploaded at 1kbps.

prasadzmultiplex · 14-03-2005, 01:50 PM

Just the tread I was looking for!!!

I have gone thru all the posts here and it is quite tuff to make my decision
without knowing the prices and that too in INR.Is there any website that
mentiones the Prices of these players?

Also i saw the iRiver Website and they sure ar cool players.But they don't
have Indian arm,only China & Japan.So don't think they can be bought in
India

I play mostly Mp3 songs and my Budget's arnd 8k.(Actually its 12k
for Mp3+Cellphone) so can any1 suggest some killer combos?
