well right now im stuck with a cd player and need a new music device. I heard that ipods' batteries die within a year or 2 but they hold way more songs than a mini disk. Yet the mini disk you can replace teh batteries. Sooo i dont know which one to get. What do you reccomend?

I believe that there's no Mac software for minidisc(there wasn't last time I checked), so if you're running a mac your choice is already made.

ipod mos def, but get it from buy it from best buy so you can get the warrenty for like 20 to 40 bucks more. that way you wont have to send it to apple, you juts have to take a trip up to best buy.

its really a price descision. if you have like 450$ to spend on a new device, do it, get the iPod, but if u have like 150$, get an MD, and 10 minidisks is like more than 1 gig, and are like 1.50 a peice.

just get a godamn ipod. forget the mini, its worth more to pay an extra 50 bucks for an extra thousand songs. If you buy it from apple (recommended) with the one year warrenty, at the end of your year return it saying the audio jack is messed up or it fails to charge or somethign and they will replace it.

Ipod's are awesome, but WAY overpriced. Get a nomad jukebox or something similar, or else just a plain MP3 player that takes a 512mb or 1gb chip, that should be plenty.

if you have an apple store in your neighborhood go there and ask if they have any open box units for sale. i just picked up a new 10Gb for $199 that way. you still get the full warranty and there's not a thing wrong with them.

nice score, thats the way, sony shit is so expensive in Aus it sucks. i have an old MD deck so no LP on my playa. i hand tight for the md with 1gig disk personally but i doubt its possible to be dissapointed with the ipod. plus fm transmitters are out every where so you can play your beats in thew car.
