I-POD? clueless person looking for portable music player

#1 Post by raydrz »

not sure what's the one to have, now that they are practically obsolete :roll: ...but fred flintstone needs an upgrade from burning CDs for travel...

what's the best for the buck? what kind of price should i expect to pay? how many tunes can be saved @ 16GB? 32GB? 64GB? 128GB?

as you can see, i need 411 from step one...

thanks in advance

I would go as big as you can afford. At least a 32 gig. $250 and about 7500 songs according to apple.

this link should let you compare them. Hope it helps.

Just use your smartphone or just use a smartphone if you don't have one. It's 2 0 1 6 !

Just get yourself a cheap used 32gb ipod Raydrz, see how you get on with it.

I use my smartphone but it drains the battery to much so I find I dont listen to as much music as I used to, was thinking of getting a used ipod myself just for music and audiobooks.

i knew most people just have the tunes on the phone & that's why i thought the basic POD was obsolete...i see it's not & that's probably the route i'll go...appreciate all the info, guys 8)

For a few bucks, this is the one i use for 10 years !! and still perfect. 8gb is good enough for something like 50 cd or more. Cheap and solid. That's a good choice if you don't want to spend a lot.
