I'm all to educate here about product choice. I know that a majority of you ahve ipods. You are the stupidest of us here. The rest of you are semi-stupid, depending on your mp3 player and where you buy music.

ipods are rip-offs. For $250 I can buy a 4 gig nano, or I can buy a 30 gig sony. itunes is a rip. You buy songs for a dollar a piece. I buy albums for $2.

Now let me tell you about the best mp3 player company out there- and get this- they're Australian xD

Archos makes, without any doubt, the best mp3 players you can buy.

I personally own Gmini 402 Camcorder which I bought for $250 on ebay. Heres my specs- ALmost any type of video playback. To ripping software- there is a built in decoder, so you can just drag&drop files through windows explorer. A 3.4 megapixel camera/camcorder. The ability to put exe. games (gamemaker games with joystick functionality) on it, through a mophun converter. 20 gigs storage, with upgradable hard drive. I can also record from my TV, as well as playback movies to my TV.

When I purchase music, I mosey over to allofmp3, which sells music by the megabyte- approximately 5c a megabyte. So you spend $24 for 24 songs- I spend $24 for 336 songs (14 songs a album).

I hope you learned something today, ipod users and the like.
