Is there some kind of subscription?

No, the Itunes software is free. In fact, you don't even need an Ipod to use it. Only with Itunes, you'll be able to sychronize your personal cpu library with the Ipod. All the additionnal infos (new files, ratings, playlists) are automatically updated each time you connect your Ipod to your cpu.

Thanks bro.

I also hear that the Ipod doesnt play certain files other than mp3. When I rip my cd's it comes as .wma I believe. If I do decide on an Ipod, guess Ill just find a new program that rips CD's into mp3's.

W/e...Im off for the night to get plastered. Take it sleazy.

You'll probobly use iTunes to rip your CD's if you get an iPod, I would imagine.

iTunes automaticly converts .wma's as well.

No prob.
I highly recommend getting a proper encoder and encoding at a descent bitrate. I personaly use audiograbber with the internal encoder LAME, highly recommended.

Archos make excellent MP3 Players.

After researching, Creative seems to have quite a handle on things

@Lurch: the Creative Vision:W looks quite promising. I was wondering though, where one is supposed to get movies and stuff. So, Netflix might have something in the works? The other thing is I doubt I would enjoy watching a movie on a 4" screen. My eyesight is bad enough and I think I already told you about my home setup, so I bet an A/V device would be wasted on me.

I rip all my cd's with Windows Media Player. Is this something I should not be doing? From things I have read it kinda sounds like the practice is looked down upon.

It depends how much of an audiophile you actually are. Of course, there are much MUCH better encoding tools than WMP's, but they are also considerably slower.

Right now I do not think my speakers or Headphones are quality enough to detect a difference. I would however for future reference appreciate some links to some better programs.

seriously you guys are fighting about mp3 players

Picked up a Samsung T9 2GB today for $130. Pretty nice. Seems to work well. Listening to the Predators v Blues game on it right now while ripping my collection to the computer. Should only take a few minutes

 

[dorian gray]

Oh yeah, btw, at what speed should I be ripping my shitz? It defaults to 128kbps. So far, I haven't noticed much of a quality difference from my CD/receiver/speaker combo. I'm using the stock earbud phones so I doubt higher quality would make a difference anyway. Anyway, won't a higher-quality rip take much longer as well?
Thanks!

 

[Reign in Acai]

192kbps is the standard I believe.

 

[Nate The Great]

I rip at 128, but if you want the slightly better quality in case it is needed down the road, go with 192.

^ is that a good deal or not?

6GB Creative Zen

 

[MFJ]

yeah, creative zens are definitely the best.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Not bad, I think. That model works fairly well. Maybe you can talk him down to 120....


Hey, is the new Pagan Altar out already?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hey, is the new Pagan Altar out already?

Yes. get it now.



So, you cant hook up Creative players to say, your car stereo? Only iPod can do this?

or is it just this model?

 

[Necromunchkin]

You can, if they have an aux cable or line in. I use a broadcast device for mine most of the time.



I most definitely will get the new pagan altar, but where's the best place to get them shitz?
