Re: MP3s / iPods - help needed please!

I use a Creative Zen Sleek MP3 player. It's now been superceded by the Zen Vision, IIRC. Excellent player. 20Gb is enough to hold over 350 albums worth of music. You may find a smaller hard drive (5-8Gb) more suitable. The creative software is simple to use and ripping tracks from Cd to the player and a backup on the PC is simple.

Prices for a 4gb Zen player start at about £55 up to about £300 for a top of the range 30Gb Vision that plays HDD video 2.5 inch screen and all the bells and whistles you never knew you needed.

difference between MP3s and ipods?


Nothing really. The iPod is the Hoover of the vacuum cleaner world.

What accessories are essential/desirable?



You may want a case to protect it (I don't bother personaly) or a travel charger possibly. A good set of headphones usually helps the sound reproduction. The supplied ones are usually naff. I use a set of Sennheiser PX100s as recommended on here to me by others. Excellent for the money (about £15 - they were about £30 or more originally). I can't recommend any 'in-ear' phones as I don't like them so don't know what's available.
