ipod or mp3 player

For me I will personally tell you its better to invest in either an ipod or another mp3 player that works on both macs or windows. For me I have both a PC and a Mac and therefore I had to go with an ipod since all of the mp3 players I found that work with both aren't worth anything. And I hate mp3 players that only work with windows media since many formats won't work on the player. And you might have a PC now but what happens if you decide to change for some reason in a couple years? Plus apple makes wonderful products to use like the ihome, car accessories, etc. and if you order online you can get your name engraved on the back which is great if you think someone has stolen you ipod.

Now if you want to download music there are always the illegal ways but also you can install itunes and pay $.99 a song. Also Amazon in their mp3 section normally has a long list of songs that you can download for free - they normally aren't popular songs but you can normally find a few that you'll like.

An ipod is a pretty good way to go. I tried an mp3 player, but it really didnt measure up. Itunes keeps everything easy and organized for you. Not only that, but new ipods hold video too, which mp3 players dont. As for getting music, obciously you can always upload your cd's. Also, there is the iTunes store, where you can download songs for a dollar and videos for 2 dollars. There's also filesharing like limewire which allows you to download songs from other people's computers for free- only thing is you need to be careful not to download a virus=] Hope i helped

Ipod would be my choice too, easy to download, excellent sound.
Have a nice time.

I have an iPod right now, it is ok I guess, I did not get another player b4 but it is good to try I guess.
Thx

I prefer Ipod better.

I prefer iPod. I I've been using it like for 4 years now and I just think I will be using it for a loong time. It's just that with the iPod you just focus on the music. With an mp3 player instead, you have to worry about the battery, the number of songs, the audiphones, etc.
