I'm happy with it. Does everything I want it to, at less price than ipods, and much less hassle.

I've never had an Ipod so no "vs" report here...but...the MP-3 player is great. Holds a kazillion tunes by artist, style (rock, country, hip-hop, etc), gendre & so on. Easy to use, even for an old fart like me. Plays through powered speakers or thru your computer,or car radio (if you have an input). Charge seems to last a long time and they are cheap. How ya gonna lose?

I prefer anything to iPod...so I am hardly the best resource; however, I liked this player so much that I immediately bought another one immediately. Sound quality is excellent, videos are okay but the screen is small (I do not use it for videos anyway so it did not matter), and it is easy to use.

I really do not have a problem ... The radio in my car for some reason was not picking up local radio frequencies now that I have this it works well as a fm radio picks up the local frequencies. The player is fine as an MP3 it was a no brainer to load it .... The only set back have is that I bought a 4 gig and I have way more music than that... I had a 32 gig iPod before and it was stolen ... And to be honest I don't miss it... No complaints about this product .... I use it mostly in my car just plug it in the aux and good to go ....

The main reason I got this is because I didn't want to have to deal with Apple and their 'exclusive' itunes. I had my library set up in Windows Media Player, so it is nice this device works with it. I'd say it is a great alternative to the ipod. Only problem I've ever had was after 6 years the headphone jack wore out.

I got two walkmans, one for each child for their birthdays. We don't have any problems with them. they sync easy..and loading the music is easy. They are way cheaper than the ipods and they are a good product. it you are just wanting something for music this is the best route. I think.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

I am using an 8gb with no problems.User manual says it supports up to 8gb.I have about 1000 mp3`s and that's not even 4gb.

Did it workout for you.Also, if I use this producy, will I have 2GB on top of the 2GB already in the player? Or is this for one set of songs and the one in the player another set?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I just started a new discussion on how to correct a few issues, and make it a lot more enjoyable with Mac. Check it out if you are having problems. It's (now) by far the easiest MP3 player I've ever used.

Definitely the IPod 5th generation. It's faster, sharper, and overall better. Though if money is the issue, IPod 4th generation is still a great product! :-)

It runs on android and by it running in android, you will be able to get the majority of the android games available. I use 4shared.com to download music and it goes straight to my music playlist! I love it! It makes the best MP3 player if you are going to be using it to store music. I've had this for 3 years now and I still love it. I wouldn't recommend it for games. Get an ipod with the highest GB for that. This is perfect for music and videos. I hope I helped :) have a great day and happy holidays! P.S. An ipod is worth the money :)

Thanks, that helped a lot. I just looked up the ipod nano vidio and realized that it does everything the classic does, it's just smaller. It even costs less. I also wasn't able to find any complaints on it, which is much more than can be said for the classic. Thanks again, I'm going to get that instead now and probably save myself a lot of disappointment.

Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch. When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.

The iPod touch is DEFINATELY worth it, having owned many brands of music players, I have found that the iPod is in my opinion, the best one out there. Battery life is great, price is great, and capacity is great. Definately worth the money(:

i just bought one at best buy the other day. it's the iriver one. i have't used it yet and won't, because i bought it for my boyfried. but the sales associate at best buy told me that is the only one this mp3 is compatible with.

It's a horrible mp3 player. My recommendation is to get rid of it and just purchase a different brand mp3 player that works correctly. That's what I did with mine.

WMV sounds as good or better than MP4 AAC. Anyone who has spent any time encoding audio files would tell you that it is the encoding step that gives you the quality so even an MP3 can sound as good.The audio circuitry is so much better in the Creative devices, does your iPod have a 96db signal-to-noise ratio? That's right, your iPod does not.Have fun being an individual just like everyone else with your iPod.

I can't say. THe one I did have I only had it for a year and it started going out on me. After awhile I saved up and got myself a iPod Classic in black. I have used this everyday for almost 3 years and it's working alot better then my Sony ever did. For me the iPod is alot better then the Sony ever was for my needs. Thanks but I wouldn't recamend this to anyone after the problems I went though
