    But it's true!

    Tomorrow, I'll be sitting almost five hours on a bus and I'm taking my good ol' discman with me. A bit embarassing to show it to the other passengers, though, so I'll try to keep it inside my bag at all times. smile
    I am extremely serious.

    Dood... mine holds 60GB of music which equals to 9400 plus songs. This post would be massive if I listed everything that was on it. However, lately I've been listening to my "My Favorites" playlist on the road. It's a 234 track playlist with all of my favorite cues of all time on there... and it constantly gets updated.

    I have more Jerry Goldsmith scores on mine than you have albums in total! And I notice that you have no Jerry Goldsmith at all. This, I feel, should be rectified. wink

    I'd love to be able to fill my mp3 player with my entire collection, even though I only listen to about 5-10% of it on a regular basis. I do, however, have my entire JNH stock synchronised. cool

    I'd rather buy cds than an expensive MP3 player because I usually listen to music at home. But I did get a very cheap MP3 player just for listening at gym. Not everything lends well for listening to in a gym but here's what I have-
    Die Höhle des Gelben Hundes
    Amerika
    Robotjox
    Island of Lost Souls
    Sea Images: The Best of David Fanshawe

    I realized that I was over-playing Zaina, Massai and L'odyssee De L'espece so I deleted them from the player.

    Thor,
    Get a cheap MP3 player, man!

    If anyone dares argue that CD players are still better, I may feel the need to shoot them.

    A CD is still digital audio. A CD only holds around 700MB. Most modern MP3 players hold a lot more. You could rip the music in CD quality audio and still be able to carry more music than a portable CD player. There would of course be no point as with headphones you would not be able to notice the difference in quality from anything above 192k. I have all my music at 320kbps, and I still manage to fit a lot on my 16GB iPod Touch.

    A far as portable music goes, iPod's (or equivalent portable media players) are the way to go.
  9. My mp3 player holds 60GB of music.

    At the moment I have ~4100 favourite tracks from all my CDs that I am usually playing on "random play". I also have ~320 pop songs that I listen to for a bit of a break from film music.

    I also have a few whole CDs if I want to listen to these - they're mostly recent releases that I am unfamiliar with...predominantly CDs from Mikael's label that I'm trying to do reviews for.

    And finally, I have all 3 complete recordings from The Lord of The Rings, in order, for when I want to listen to these from start to finish.

    Till now, I've kept the following three for about half a year on my mp3:

    Lair
    Warhawk
    Transformers

    Not because these are the best, but because they're the loudiest. Not even Independence Day can overpower the noise on a subway train. But Lair can !

    Conwon's iAudio 7 is a better choice IMO. It supports FLAC, which is an open-source, PC-friendly lossless format.

    For the time being (since I change them according to the mood) I have the following selections:
    - various Lord of the Rings cues
    - a file named "Moments" in which I have stored various cues from all my favourite scores
    - Beowulf
    - Celtic music
    - The Chronicles of Narnia
    - Amelie
    - Kingdom of Heaven
    - Sweeney Todd
    and two rock albums (U2~ Acthung Baby and Blunt~ Back to Bedlam)
    Whatever you gaze rests on,do not use your vision, but the eyes of your soul...She knows better...
  15. I have a question about mp3 batteries:

    I know that there is a limit to the lifetime to the rechargeable batteries used in things like mp3 players. And that, as that lifetime progresses, the time between charges gets less and less. I have a battery that I want to change and I was wondering if, by changing the battery, all the data on the player will be lost and I'd have to replace all the tracks?

    It goes without saying that I'll be different. Mine only holds 2 gigs so I usually just load the current material I'm going to review. Right now I'm still listening to The Long Night.

    Depends on your MP3 player: if it's one with flash memory, yeah, it's likley the data will be erased once the battery is completely taken out. If it's one with a hard disk, there's no problem.

    This *should* be in the manual, really.

    I would have assumed that a flash drive would be okay? Since data on USB sticks doesn't get deleted when they're not plugged into a powered USB slot?

    Ugh. You're totally correct. I was confused with standard RAM access, but flash drives are non-volatile (i.e. they persistently store data).
    So there's no problem at all removing/changing the battery.

    The data will remain.

  20. Cheers guys.

    It's my 60GB Zen that I've had for a few years and it's been a bit of a workhorse. Of more worrying concern to me is that it's almost full: only about 700MB left on it.

    500 mb free on my 160 GB iPod... slant
    It is a matter of some concern...
    'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn
  22. And I thought that a 160GB capacity would be enough!!

    Do you add whole CDs onto it?

    I use my players for favourite playlists and then just transfer over CDs I want to listen to to an SD card and add it to my 32GB (flash) Zen.

    For the better part: yes.
    Although I have about twenty playlists as well.

  24. I'm waiting for a 1TB mp3 player brick so I can transfer all my CDs. But by the time that comes out I'll probably need more capacity. rolleyes

    I have a 16GB iPod Touch which rarely gets used, mostly because you can't change the volume or the track without looking at the screen. I tend to use my trusty 8GB Nano, much better for changing the track or volume without needing to take it out of your pocket (handy for cycling). Had it for years, it's a tough little bugger. Plus 8GB suites me fine, it's not as though I'm going to listen to 8 gigs worth of music each time I take it out with me. It might be a while until I feel the need to get another iPod.

    And in all honesty, I prefer not having ALL of my music with me when I'm out and about listening to music - I'll never be able to settle on a choice! dizzy I can see where a larger storage would come in handy, but I get on perfectly fine with 8GB. Changing around the albums on the Nano actually encourages me to listen to things I haven't heard for a while.
  28. I frequently think that I have so much music that I can't hope to listen to it all - and I suppose that's true. But, I think that one of the things I crave is a return to my lifestyle whereby I can just sit down for 4-5 hours and just listen to whole CDs.

    Nowadays I mostly have to snatch time here-and-there: to and from work, listening to music in the background when on the PC, when I'm doing the ironing, etc. All this lends itself better to listening to favourite cues rather than whole CDs.

    I don't have an actual MP3 player but my Nokia XpressMusic has pretty good sound quality so I've been using it as a player. Basically got a large selection of tracks from my favourite scores you can see in my profile page.
