JoshK Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 If you want a mid-capacity MP3 player that isn't an iPod mini check out the Creative MuVo2 4gb. It has the same storage as an iPod and acts as a USB hard drive so all you do is drag and drop files. It costs over $50 less and has *replaceable* li-ion batteries so you can carry a spare. The lack of that is a huge weakness in the iPod and other li-ion MP3 players. Check it out. -josh Quote
willstrickland Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking, and the replaceable batts is what's holding me back right now. I'd really prefer to have one that just takes AAs, but I love the Mac interface. I can imagine a spare li-ion recharagable is gonna be pricy. I keep hoping Apple will reca-nize, and represent for all the playas in the street. Yo Steve....two words holmes: Doubleayes Beyotch!! Quote
JoshK Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 Yeah, I'm with ya. AAs are too big for the small players tho, but I'd be willing to sacrifice some size for taht. the niMH AAs are up to 2300mah, which is really good. The spare li-ion is $35, which is too much, but worth it for the convienence. 15 hours is too short for a climbing player. Gotta keep the musak going for those 30 hour pushes! BTW, also check out the creative Zen Touch if you are interested in a large jukebox player. I think a non-apple player finally solved the UI issues that the iPod "wheel" does so well. They somehow have managed to double the life of standard players as well, they claim 24 hours versus the standard 12-14. I think it'll probably use the same removable rechargable. It should be out within a few weeks. -josh Quote
