It also weighs less, lasts longer before you have to change a battery, and is less fragile.

It also doubles as a portable usb mass storage device.

And it costs less.

No

The iPod Shuffle is both smaller and cheaper. There is no screen but like I just said a couple posts up, I have one, I don't mind one bit. It's not a big deal at all. It's like CD player in that respect.

But it is smaller, weighs less, Has a 12 hour battery life to Muvo's 15.

Also COSTS LESS.

Muvo 1gb - 209
iPod Shuffle 1gb - 149

The Shuffle is a ripoff. 240 songs? 120 bucks? Sorry.

The smaller size and weight of the shuffle doesn't really changes anything. The muvo is small and light weight enough that I don't care about it anyhow.

So we have less money, vs, a player with a screen, more battery life, and that can double as a USB disk on key thingy.

I'd say it's worth the price.

The Shuffle is also a usb thumbdrive. Less price for same storage and is smaller and lighter. If you need a screen, pay an extra 60 dollars.

Screen + Extra battery.
And yes, it's worth the 60 dollars.

As I said, the size and weight is unimportant. So it's basicly a question of screen versus money.

I just like the idea of being able to choose what I listen too.
It's espicially important as my player won't just have a lot of silly short songs I could just listen to in a SHUFFLE (lol pun), but rather concept albums and compositions.

Some of the IPod add-ons are pretty cool though. Beyond all the other shit that goes without saying, having options is good. A kid I work with has an FM modulator on his, no wires to run it in his car etc.

I plan on buying a hard drive based one someday, but most likely I'll buy a 1meg flashdrive one sometime in the near future, probably from Creative.

I think i'm getting a Rio Karma. Now tell me why not to.

Is that Rio's item in the class of Apple's Ipod and Creative's Zen?

Whatever, just don't go iPod, lunchmeat. From what I know I'd say creative and rio players are pretty much on the same level when considering price and whatnot. I can't think of any major differences.

I assure you that I have no intention of buying an iPod.

I got a 20 gig Ipod awhile ago and I love the thing the sound is great and it may be a little big but other then that I have no complaints.

Isn't the battery life really short?

Subhuman · Post by **Subhuman** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 5:04 pm

Yes. But apparently the new 6G minis have 18 hours. (Although in real life it'd be more like 10-15.)
