no love for the mini-iPod? haha, i am getting a pink-mini in the upcoming weeks. for people with windows when synching and what not, does it change the last modified date of your mp3 files by any chance?
i'm hoping not. but i've used iTunes once and it did...

I don't understand people that get iPod mini's...don't fall for the fucking marketing man - pay the extra $50 and get 15gb more space!!!!?!?WEFM sd8gdf09gu809hg8

never, ever buy the first series of a newly launched product. they always have problems..
wait for the next series when all bugs/errors etc. are fixed.

Does anyone own one of the iPod alternatives?

Never ever buy anything on the spur of the moment... you may just enjoy yourself.

Thanks for that link SF2. I had been considering the iRiver-iHP 120 and found a place selling it for about 360.
Lots of sites have rated it #1 over the iPod with the only complaint being cost.
- SF20
no probs. I thought it was interesting what they say about the sound quality of the iPod. I don't have one but i've listened to one and it sounded great to me.

can depend on the level you do your mp3's at
- jevad0
yeah ALWAYS rip yer mp3's at 192 or above
- JamesEngage0
when i converted my entire misuc collection from windows media palyer it did them very low... be careful as 192 is not apple default.

True, but i'd say they tested the units with the same MP3 files. If they didnt, then its not really a fair review.
The Nomad Zen Xtra doesnt seem to be a bad unit, the 60gb version is AU$789 here, compared to the AU$799 of the 40gb ipod

The iRivers are nice indeed a guy at work picked one up a while back and is enjoying every bit of it. From my pov of it, it is an ipod killer. Of course, it's not overly marketed and as aesthetically pleasing, but the product is awesome. I can't fathom pitching out money towards an ipod right now - although I use my PDA, a dell axim x5 as my portable mp3 player. it's smaller and lighter than an ipod or iriver, does a million things more like plays movies or video games and I have 512mb of memory to store whatever the hell I want on it. When I'm going out for a walk or on a business trip, that much memory serves me pretty well (I of course wouldn't mind more, but all the functionality proves otherwise). Oh, and I got it used for like 150 bones...

I don't have anything at the moment. Not since i dropped my Discman on the tiles.
I get jealous of people listening to the mono FM radio in their phones on the train...
