juz4fun 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Hi, where ie the best place to get an ipod? in terms of price. Which model should I go for? Is the ipod mini worth waiting for? I don't really have a big collection & probably about 500 songs. Thks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seiko_citizen 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 dont go for the ipod mini as it is a pos imo... and if you are spending that kind of money you might as well wait for hi-md that is coming out in June (hopefully). 1gb remevable storage and easy to use, maintain.

seiko_citizen 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 you might want to look to teamdigital.net as they have a range of ipods/irivers and a couple of other products, but not sure if they are the cheapest though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huihong 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2004 You can get the Ipod 15 GB at Bits Bytes at Sim Lim Square Level 3 for $515 if i did not remember wrongly, because i asked when i was buying my Muvo2 1.5GB. for more Ipod and Ipod mini information you can go www.ipodlounge.com for more reviews which may help you to decide which Ipod suits your needs better.

The mobility of songs are quite restircted. This from what i've read in the link above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2004 IIRC, Sonic Stage 2 has done away with the check-in/check-out system for the songs stored on the PC. Thus with this change, transferring of songs becomes less of a hassle. However, Hi-MD players' battery consumption is rather high and battery life is short.

seiko_citizen 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Seiko citizen, will the hi-md format be able to use existing files like MP3, WAV etc? afaik yes... it can, but only thru the sony sonicstage2 program. also another thing is the lack of support for other computer files... all files need to be transfered thru the sonicstage2 program Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huihong 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 yeah i got the Muvo2 1.5 GB too. i personally feel its a more worthwhile buy than the Ipod, but if you have the cash, Ipod wont hurt at all. Ive also read around that the sound quality of the Muvo2 is very good, can any1 confirm this? somehow music sounds the same to me no matter what source i play from lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
