So expect RC to buy them all before a product recall happens.

My MP3 player is my phone, with 4 gigs and I'm pretty happy with all the music I have, on the other hand I have a friend who just ended up filling his Ipod with 80 gigs of music, which IMO is stupid as he always plays it on shuffle, isn't that what the stereo is for? for random music, and your player for your favorite music

30 gb/ 80gb is for all of the above. Random, and itemized, costomized playlists.... everything.

BTW, I have yet to have my zune HDD cut out while running, or working out.

Don't worry Nth, the mechanical drive's arm does skip, and will eventually scratch the disks enough so that you willl notice problems with your player.

Zune, iPod, whatever, it's still a hard drive, and it doesn't like being shaken while accessed.

woot.com was selling white zune's for $150 the other week and I almost went for it. But I'm holding out for something a lot better with all the connectivity I want with out the need for special software to load music. M$ better make it right with the Zune 2!

And about the 80gb and 160gb iPods or any PMP - it's for smart people who PMP's as external hard drives for back up

while this may be true, i've never had music skipping either due to data loss and such.

If it brakes, then the simple answer is replace it with the newer thing that is better.

Right as I boycotted iPods after having one last me only 9 months I started my current job that gives iPods out to employees so I'm going to have one no matter what. I just want to make sure my boss knows that the new one is coming out soon

(In case this question gets asked the official explanation for the "free iPod" is so they can slap us with "use your free portable hard drive" when we bitch about transferring files around all the time. But whatever their reason may be, it's always good to get free junk.)

there is no such thing as free junk, everything has a cost Even if it isn't directly evident.

Nth, the spew about hard drives is pure fact

Free iPods were raffled at my last corporate holiday party. Those were pretty free. Sucks my dumbass manager spent all the money on just 2 iPods and not buying cheaper ones so more people would win them.

They weren't free.

Someobody has a salary, and is expected to use a "holiday" money to buy gifts... its all budgeted in, and seems like a free token... but somewhere along the line, sombody, or everybody pays for it.

I'd still get the "classic" iPod, if I didn't hate that one too. And only if it came in solid blue. They cost so much, but you can't even have a choice in color. Black or white. What a BS. Besides that, at 160gb, it has 4x the capacity of my desktop. (I live in the dark ages)

Touch screen is snazzy alright, but besides the novelty value, I don't see the point. It's just a mp3 player. And if I wanted novelty, I'd get this instead.

Buddy I wouldn't be surprised if I paid for it somehow, believe me. However when I use my ever-dwindling debit card it hurts much more.

[dutchmasterflex]

No shit someone always ends up paying for something. :roll:
