So I need a new MP3 player...any suggestions?

[Kill]

My MP3 player's fucked up unfortunately, warranty's expired, so I wanna buy a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want at least 60GB and I want to avoid buying an IPOD because they suck for various reasons.

However, if I did end up buying an IPOD because the alternatives are worse, does anyone know an application to replace ITunes with and is it possible to arrange stuff your way with whatever program's help, rather than having to check and write all the fucking tags? Because if I just keep downloading and ripping, the ID3's will turn that shit into a mess if the player's based on that...

...by the way I used to have a Cowon IAudio X5 (well I still do, but it's useless), it seems they don't have these anymore, but if anyone got a new Cowon model of some kind (or knows something about them), your information could be very valuable

(...cause the player was good, far better than the Apple equivalent, it's not like I'm entirely innocent it doesn't work anymore )

Mediamonkey shits on itunes when it comes to organizing and tagging your files. You just right click the file you want tagged and go to auto tag from web and it will do it in a second.

I have had an ipod for 2-3 years, droped it hellllla times and shit, throw it around in my gym bag and its fine, fuck tags all I have is the artis and the song name, and I love that shit. If I was to upgrade I would just get another ipod. Probably the classic.

1. You're lucky then, as for having such a robust ipod.
2. Not sure what you mean...your shit is not arranged by tags automatically on the player then?

I've had my Nano for over two years now, bought it when they came out.
I've never had any problems with it either

But I'm a kinda ID3 geek and I gotta have the tracks tagged right

Nanos are less vulnerable, but I need the big shit...and yeah, that's the thing with tags, if I really end up having tags I'll be nerdy enough about it to want it all in perfect order

I have an iPod my ID3's are tagged perfectly, I dont download garbage files, it really is not that hard to maintain stuff in iTunes.



I love my iPod, wouldnt change it for the world

Yup Yup.

Although I'm probably gonna get a 160 gig, ipod classic.

I'm in the same boat as you Kill, need a 60GB+ mp3 player and don't want an iPod.  My 40GB iRiver is great but on it's last legs and I can't seem to find a replacement. 
The best options I see so far is from Creative and Microsoft but I'm still hesitant to get either one, I'm going wait until my player now is completely dead.

ipod ipod ipod!

like i tell everyone in my department for every quirk ipod's have every other mp3 has 50 more.

I got a Zune, works like a charm
but the battery life sucks..

depends. how much music do you have?

and yes, use mediamonkey to organize your music. it's helped me have all 800+ albums I have on my computer correctly ID3 tagged with album art
