i had a 2GB nano for almost a year, but its battery life got really short towards the end so i replaced it with the 30GB.

[RedAnarchist]

I used to have a 2gb Creative Zen but they are just shit. You can get a load of music on them, but they mess up a lot and the reset button is far too fragile.

[RevMARKSman]

2gig iPod nano. What I really hate about the new design is that they put this really weak layer of aluminum (?) around it and if you drop it at all, the coating gets seriously scratched. And if you're stupid, you can cut your hand on it. Not fun.

I'd like to get something with more space though. 2GB turns into 1.75 formatted; stupid marketeers.

[Sir Aunty Christ]

40GB Creative Zen

[which doctor]

4gb iPod mini. It's worked out for me real nice, though I wish it had more memory.

[Pirate Utopian]

Creative Zen with 512 MB

[Resistencia]

Samsung YP-Z5 with 2GB

[Cyanide Suicide]

30g iPod video.

It's nice, I've had no problems with it since I've had it (Christmas 05).

[Hate Is Art]

How rich are we all, I have a tape player, it's fucking ace.

[Knight of Cydonia]

hm...i don't have a portable MP3 Player, but i'm satisfied that i still can hear the USSR Anthem with my Nokia N-Gage and 256 MMC :P

Are you really so shocked? I thought communists strayed far far away from the whole consumer soceity thing. I guess it's just me though.

[Socialistpenguin]

I have one of those generic mp3 players, about 256mb.
But damn, I WANT a fanny pack phonograph.

ipods aren't horrible, they are a different way to carry around music. why do you have a computer, one of the biggest items to consumers today? do you have a cd player, why did you follow that fad. my arguments could go on forever.

[bcbm]

Portable cassette player. OLD SKOOL.

[Red October]

30gb translates into about 27.65 formatted, but its more than enough. once i upgraded from a 2GB nano to 30GB, it felt strange. i was so used to stripping down my music collection to the bare essentials so it would fit, but now i can just cram all the shit i want on there. its nice having breathing space.

and i do get shit from some people about being a leftist with an ipod, but i dont see it as being very different from owning anything else. its just a more advanced music technology, and the ipod is an excellent mp3 player. if apple makes a solid product, should we choose a shittier alternative just because lots of other people we dont agree with own one too? if its a superior product, just go with it.

[SanPatricio'sSoul]

I got a 20 Gig Creative Zen Sleek Photo (as a gift), It is definitally more convenient than having a cd player and having to carry about 30 cd's on me at all times. I'm more addicted to music than I am to cigarettes, no joke

[Purple]

I have a 20 GB iPod. My former minidisc player (do they even sell those anymore?) was very inefficient as I actually had to send it to repairs five times, and I got a new one twice. Therefore the iPod is grand, its user friendly and it doesnt break too easily, plus I love being able to carry with me my entire music collection at all times. Its like upgrading from DOS to Vista.

There is something funny about a leftist listening to Rage Against the Machine on an iPod though...

[Hate Is Art]

It'd be OK if iPod's weren't so LOUSY though, they break all the fucking time. I've had this tape player for years, it's got character y'know. I actually have some iPod head phones stuck in so I can be down with the kids like.

[which doctor]

My iPod broke once when I dropped it on the concrete from 5 feet up. Luckily I had purchased a 2 year warranty with it (I usually never buy those extra warranties). It hasn't broken since and I consider it reliable.

I have an old Sony Walkman that probably still works. I've considered retrofitting it so I could stick my iPod mini inside of it and walk around with an old-school Walkman instead of an iPod. I haven't found the time to do that though, but I would get great street cred.

i had my nano for a year and it never broke. i dropped it on hard surfaces all the time, i even dropped it in the toilet once (luckily there was nothing in the toilet) and it was fine. ipods are really user friendly and reliable. i have a walkman too, but the shock protection doesnt work anymore so it skips all the time unless its perfectly still.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

10 gig iPod
second generation
works great
never had problems
if your fancy video iPods ever break, get one like mine from eBay or something
they never fuck up

[BreadBros]

I still use a Sony Walkman CD player with built in AM/FM radio. I'll probably get an iPod...someday(too poor now and not at the top of my priorities).

[DM.]

I use an Ipod 6GB.wich i've got for free. At this time the screen doens't work anymore but I'm still using it anyway.. I've tried to send it to Apple so they could fix it for free, but they simply said I must have dropped it so it's my fault (wich didn't happened). Bastards!

[celtopunk]

For all of you who thought having a portable music player with a turntable try this on for size:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r48/celtopunk/2dd98b20.jpg


I've got a sandisk 1Gb player/fm/voice recorder. I like it because it is flash mem as opposed to a hard drive. Hard drives still aren't meant to be carried about and banged around. Stick with a memory one if you can.

[Blue Collar Bohemian]

Backpack mounted record player.

Its all about the vinyl!

[Rage]

I rep the $10 cd players from target.

I have been thinking about getting some form of iPod though. They have really cool accessories that others do not.

/,,/
Rock on!

ipod accessories are really expensive for what you get. a case will cost you at least $20.

Yes, definitely get an iPod. If you get a Walkman (especially the regular plastic ones) they'll turn off every time you step down too hard. I couldn't even walk 15 minutes to school without the freaking player turning off at least 5 times without warning.

[Question everything]

Sansa m250, and I can help but feel like a hypocrit for buying one and then complaining about capitalism...

thats one of the best reasons to get an mp3 player. its just much more convenient not to carry around tons of CDs and not have to deal with the frustration of the song skipping.

[ahab]

I got my ipod from some snobby ass rich kid haha dumbass shouldnt have left it in his locker

by posting on this forum, you are showing evidence that you help supply demand for either the Intel corporation or the AMD corporation. I also suspect either ATI or nvidia and so on.

[encephalon]

a hacked and modded psp.

[Red Menace]

I feld like I was the only communist with an ipod, but even after reading this topic I feel spoiled, i have a 60 GB ipod. I don't buy em as they come out or anything like that. This ones like my second one, after my first one broke. My parents got it for me.

:P sorry, I know i support them too... It just feels weird hating those organisations while at the same time supporting them (by that I mean funding)... I was just wondering how everybody else felt about it...

[gilhyle]

Had a 20GB iPod, connection for recharging broke. Kinda happy without it - I can never get away from the idea that there is something wrong about listening to music out in the world where there are other valuable, beautiful sounds (traffic, other peoples conversations, footfalls, buskers) to listen to.

[Ydarb]

I use a 30 gig Ipod Video, but I can't help feeling like a trendwhore every time I use it.

people call me me that, but i dont see the problem with choosing to use a superior product over a crappier one. if you chose the crappier one just so you could feel like you were going against a trend, you would be letting other people's opinions dictate your choices in life.

[Honggweilo]

Sweex Mp4 player, looks neat, is cheap :). Although it requires a 3,5mm plug, that sux longtime.

Alot of you guys are Ipodders, heathens!~!!!! :ph34r:

[Human-o-matic]

Well, I use a cool panasonic discman =)

Much cheaper than an iPod, it have some memory so it doesn't skip when you make some movement, and it reads CDs with Mp3s so i can still support the artists that I like more by buying their CDs and I can make backups of my computer musics while burning them to play in the discman :P

discmans are cool too :D

[Pawn Power]

My mobile phone has a mp3 player in it, though it only holds a couple albums

Yeah, me too. Although not so much anymore, I don't use the signature ipod headphones and I have this black case for it, so at a glance most probably woudn't suspect it to be an ipod.

[socialistpunk]

I don't feel guilty because ipod is maid by apple and not microsoft and if it was made by microsoft i wouldn't buy it becuase it would probaly breakdown and be all shitty with stupid windows media player on it.

[Rage]

I think I am going to get a refurbished 60 gig white iPod video.

/,,/
Rock on!

[RedAnarchist]

I used to have one of those Creative Zen things (the little black and green ones) but it was always having problems. I now have a 2gb iPod, which I don't use too much at the moment (mostly use iTunes when I'm on my computer).

[OI OI OI]

I have an Ipod nano 4GB made in China by children paid 1$ a day

[Psy]

I use a discman, where is it on the poll?

[Magdalen]

I have an 80gb iPod classic

I feel rather guilty, but it makes those hours spent walking around town (I walk everywhere) far more tolerable.

[Hit The North]

Zen 20Gig. I lurve it.

[Lost In Translation]

My cell phone, which has a 4GB memory card included. I don't like to buy a separate thing for each purpose, I like them all integrated.

[Kami]

I use my Moonshell on my Nintendo DS+Supercard DSOne.

Used to have a sony walkman. Loved the thing; have yet to hear sound quality quite so high; reviews seem to agree on that one. Got stolen, and haven't replaced it a) because it's fucking expensive, and b) I'm still boycotting sony due to what they did to lik-sang.com

[Chapter 24]

Yeah, I use a walkman. What can I say, I'm a sucker for those old-fashioned mini records we like to call CDs.

[RedAnarchist]

Is that like a memory stick for an iPod?


(:lol:)

[Lector Malibu]

PSP- I actually have a program that let's me stream my itunes library to my PSP.

It's good because it frees up space for hacks and homebrew.

I do have a couple of random Ipods and a PDA that I might grab on the way out the door.

[An archist]

I used to have an mp3, but I lost it while being chased by a cop:(
Later I heard from someone he fell and broke his expensive watch during the chase:D

iPod 5G 80GB, I've nearly run out of space, I need one of those new ones.

I'll probably wait a few months for the even better 7G to come out. :lol:

I have begun to boycott sony (from now on, but i'm not going to throw away the other sony crap that i own) cuz their repair services for their computers are sh1t, and subsequently made my computer a piece of trash.

[INDK]

80gig iPod classic, finally. Saved up for a little while. Now that I have it I don't understand how I'm ever going to fill the motherfucker's memory. It's like 20,000 songs or something like that.

[Comrade B]

Creative Zen

[maverick]

I use a CD player/walkman, cassette player, ipod (custom 60 gig), and turntable.

[Vahanian]
