Skull Commander Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 My one has a 12 hour battery life. It really is the best mp3 player on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Anyone know what bitates these players have? Been looking for one that goes up to 320 also has to handle variable bitrate (VBR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Recently got one of the Hi-Capacity MD recorders' date=' i'd suggest them as a great ipod alternative currently got about 12 albums on one disc so far. Also good for recording band practices and using as an external drive.[/quote']hehehe, thought you'd be after something more like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to use the horrendous Sony SonicStage software but I can live with that now that the player supports MP3 natively.thats the newest sony mp3 player, i have the slightly older version (the NW-HD1) and it is brilliant, one of hte only problems for some people was that it didnt work with mp3 (which made no difference to me) only sonys atrac3, the newer version fixes that problemi am actually quite surprised there is the newer version out already, i only bought mine a month ago and it was pretty new then...to me the atrac3 seems to be fine, recording at half the bitrate of mp3 (64kbs against 128kbs) and it sounds good enough to me (especially considering i mostly use it in noisey places, like on the bus or wherever)and it fixes the biggest problem i had with the ipod, the battery life, i was looking at an ipod mini, and my only worry was the 8 hour battery life, the sony has 30 hours...David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
