Sine I have had my Droid, I don't even really listen to all the cd's I ripped very often. I mainly listen to music via Pandora these days. When I am working in the garage, I usually connect my Droid to a pair of Computer speakers and just fire up Pandora. The sound that comes out of the droid is pretty amazing.
I used to have a MP3 player. It was a Creative Zen MicroPhoto. I bought that when I had a pretty long commute to work and I got tired of only having the choice of listening to talk radio or DJ that senseless blather on about nonsense and don't play music. When I have the radio on...I want music damnit!! (Chicago radio has really sucked hard over the past 10 years or so since the conservative Clear Channel and Bonneville took over the entire market, squeezing out everything that was either Mexican, soft rock, regular rock, Christian, or Talk radio...the FM dial is a wasteland of crap). The Zen was nice. It was a 60 gig player if I remember correctly (this was about 5 years ago or so). I had a nice crisp clear display (though very small) that was capable of playing video and displaying pics (it had a nice slideshow feature that would go through all of your pics). Eventually the chip that contained the OS got corrupted and when I went to bring it back to Staples (it was under warranty), they had stopped carrying name brand MP3 players and just had the generic ones and iPods. I just got a gift card with the value of the player. By that time, I had already had my Treo and was using that as an MP3 player, so I really didn't need anything else. Currently, by Droid has a 32gig card, which I can double up to 64 gig. Right now I can fit most of my music on the card with room for the apps I have. I really do want to upgrade so I have plenty of space for everything. I only have about 20 gigs of music. Once I discovered Pandora, I really stopped buying music with the exception of stuff from my favorite bands...and then I usually bought it online, so my collection hasn't grown much over the past few years. -----Original Message----- From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2010 11:26 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: SERIOUS iPhone 4 Hardware Flaw I've got around 75G worth of music in my library so it fits comfortably within the 160G and has room to grow! :) I also like being able to keep my whole catalog on the iPod since in essence it works like a backup. I've got a media server at home also, but the garage isn't wired for sound so I have a jam box with an iPod dock out there. That said, my coworker had an iPad vga adapter. Just for grins, I hooked my iPhone up to it and it played the videos in HD that I had taken this weekend. (The video camera still won't replace my Canon HV10 though) On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 9:49 AM, Sisk, Kris <[email protected]> wrote: > > We seem to have wildly differing ideas of what's impontant in an MP3 > player. 160gb would hold my entire collection 10 times over and I can't > stand the clickwheel.
