I wanna buy a mp3 player for when I'm riding, but theres a a lot out there and don't know which one to buy. Was wondering what kind of mp3 players you guys or gals have?

 

I have a iRiver 128mb mp3 player.

 

Sometimes they are not a good idea because they are a distraction, but to each his own.

 

pa its not legal to use cdplayers, mp3, ipod, etc anything with an earpeice for music and such

but ppl do it anyway...be safe and extra cautious if u do.

 

my cell phone has a radio on it and I just use that but the ear piece is only for one ear

 

15GIG iPod. Sony earbud headphones. Whole Rack of Music.

Big hot booty on the sidewalk is also a distraction but we all look.

 

anybody have the creative zen 5 gig mp3 player? i was thinking about that one becuz it has a radio also. i was thinking about the ipod 5gig, its a little bit more than the zen but it dosent have a radio. what do you guys think?

 

A lot of the smaller mp3 players have the radio function. I think the current, biggest iRiver goes up to 1GB.

Where did you get the 15G one from and how much was it?

 

I just bought my Ipod mini for this purpose, but have yet to try it out. I got it for 200 dollars on Apple.com shipped to my door because shipping is free and also if you are a college student you can get like 10% off. Also I decided not to get a huge one and spend the extra money but rather get a smaller more compact one and change the playlist regularly. Mine is a 4gig one and I have 511 songs and it is just about half full.

 

256 MB Rio, I ride with it daily.

 

i have a 4gig mini ipod too. I love it. I have 1002 songs on it and i love it. I've got about 13 gigs of music on my computer, and i just cycle out what i get bored of. I don't see a reason to get a bigger player.
I haven't tried it while riding a motorcycle, because i don't have one (hopefully in a couple weeks) but i use it while driving my POS truck. For some reason it seems like a bad idea to me to wear headphones while riding, but i have no problems using ear buds while driving my truck

 

i sing to myself and sometimes wonder if people at lights can hear me...

haha .. i find myself doin the same thing .. ridin along bobbin my head all around as i sing some stupid *** song ..

 

i would def recommend an iRiver for its versatility while riding, there is a 1GB version out now and i love it. u can hang it around your neck and control the volume/music selection easily with the small joystick. it has radio capability and exceptional sound quality with customizable EQ which surpasses my iPod mini. i wouldn't recommend the iPod while riding for other reasons.

I could not pass up that deal considering I was getting ready to buy a 256MB player for about the same price. And although the iPod was an open box merch, I think it was a great deal.

Damn that's a ridiculous deal. I will probably end up getting the 20GB one. I want something to replace my CD collection in my truck and have my entire music collection portable (more portable then my notebook). I was looking at the mini, but the 4GB is like $200, 6GB is like $250 and the 20GB is $300. I was hoping to get a 10-15GB one in the size of the mini, but doesn't look that way. Oh well.

I just bought a 512 meg mp3 player off ebay for like 50 bucks, it's the size of a keyless entry remote, I love it.

 

i have an ipod shuffle, i like it, plus there is no screen(less distraction),easy controls just put it on shuffle and go

 

Don't ride with external sounds... you need all your senses running at full tilt when riding, unless perhaps running thru texas or like state
Schu

 

I had a MPIO 512mb and it worked great until I got my IPOD.

 

I have an Ipod Photo, 30gig. its thin enough that it will fit in any pocket. I like ipods because the software is A+. i would recommend (assuming its just for riding) just get a shuffle with 512MB, small light, small and cheep to buy.

 

if it's only for riding, pick up an ipod shuffle.
