Should I get an MP3 or an Ipod?

Question

I've decided that I'm going to get an Ipod or an MP3, but i'm not sure which one is better. Which one should I get?

Answer 1

Well ipod's are mp3 players (just a specific brand) and they are good but are definitely overpriced. If i'm paying more for a product then I want a better product that's why I would get non-ipod. Therea are some really good players out there. I would suggest the sansa fuze. It has better audio quality than the nano, more features like radio(which you can record), voice recording and a micro SDHC slot for up to 8GB more capacity. Plus they are cheaper you could get a 4GB for less than $100. However it dosent have the best video playback. So if that is impotant I would suggest a Creative Zen or Sony Walkman all are good players.

However if you bought a lot of songs off itunes already you can only get an ipod because that is the only player they are compatible with.

You would be probably happy with an ipod but there are cheaper alternatives just as good if not better that may be for you.

Hope I helped

Answer 2

iPod!!!! Regular mp3 players suck ipods can do songs w/ album art videos, movies,games and if you want to spend the money you can go on line, oh yah the customer service is the best.

Answer 3

deffinately ipod.

ive never had an mp3 player.

but i know ipods are great.

after my ipod, i got a zune which was a mistake cause the zune software was nowhere near as good as itunes.

the ipod is great but what makes it better is the software.

because it tells you top songs, popular albums and a lott more.

i would deffinately choose the ipod.

it may be more expensive then an mp3 player (im not sure)

but if it is, its well worth the purchase.

good luck

Answer 4

If you want an MP3/iPod because you want to have an easy user interface, decent audio quality, a slim music player, high-quality video, and style, get an iPod.  They're stylish, they're cool, and they're reasonably priced.

If you want something that you're gonna use for not just listening to music, but also voice recording, radio, and a cheaper alternative, try an MP3 player.  If you want an MP3, try Creative; they make very good MP3 players. http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/

Overall, I'd recommend iPods, but then again, I used to work at Apple, so I might be a little bit biased :-)

Have fun with your new music player!

Answer 5

if its function, sophistication, then go for the ipod, particularly the ipod touch.

but if its practicality and u also have a tight budget, then just buy an mp3

Answer 6

Why get an MP3 or an IPOD when you can buy a cellphone that has an MP3 player already. You kill two birds with one stone. But, IPOD always beats MP3.

Answer 7

If your looking for somthing specific in a music player get an MP3

but iPODs are great. they have great sound quality and stuff... no loudspeaker :(..... and a downside is that when u plug it into a new computer it deletes your songs currently on it

Answer 8

Well,

an ipod is really freaking obnoxious because apple made it and you can only use it on itunes and all this complicated stupid stuff so just get a zune (and i actually have an ipod)

Answer 9

Get an iPod.
