MP3 player question

[LA_MERC_Nutria]

Is there a portable mp3 player out there that you can download your own music onto and not have to use one of those music services? Mike... :mothersda

[LA_MERC_Onji]

you can do that with any mp3 player. most of them, you just plug into your pc via usb, and it creates a new drive letter, and you can drag and drop your mp3's onto it

just don't get an ipod.

I got an MP3 player off of newEgg a while back and it hooks up just like Onji was saying. Kind of like a pen drive...but with cool features! I also used to have a fancy 30 GB mp3 player that worked in the same fashion. It had specific software that went with it, but it worked without converting songs or locking them or whatever. Pretty nice.

Creative makes a pretty good one...

I have a creative nomad zen nx (30 Gb) and a creative muvo (256 Mb) usb drive/mp3/voice recorder. Both are very easy to use and offer great sound to noise levels. Tom's hardware likes creative's sound reproduction better than ipod's.

yea craetive and iriver are both good brands.

I have a creative muvo as well....I like mine cause it comes with a sports armband that I use while at the gym. It just plugs directly into a usb port....and upload/download at your leisure!

I have the new iPod video with 60gb drive. I love it. I can see why iPod is by far the most popluar and arguably the best.

a long while back I bought the wife an iRiver. it's also a great product, I've been impressed with some of their recent products too.

I'm with you Obvious, I finally took a swig of the apple koolaid and bought a nano. Itunes sucks but the player and it's interface is awesome. And you can put your own mp3 library on there without anyproblems too. Napster is the weird because you dont actually download the songs, you just stream your collection from their server. If you stop paying you loose all your music, plus you cant put it on a player without paying extra ontop of the monthly fee
