I'm sure this has occured to many people before but I'd like to voice my expectations.
The iPod is great, the Toshiba Gigabeat is out in Japan and frankly both look like nice players. They do lack two main features ... a line out and recording capability. I wouldn't mind sacrificing the line-out as I dont always want ot carry the extra bulk of an amp.
Recording is a must.
The Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 has all the featurs mentioned above but size is crap.
iPod size is just right. My Sony MZ-R900 is a work of art in size but one thing bugs me. The capacity to carry music. LP2 just isn't enough on the move. My mood fluctuates so often that I still have to carry about 10-20 discs but that isn't always an option.
Th recording features on MD are great but transporting it back in real time is hard. I usually capture lectures and there are a lot of them. How many MD do you expect me to buy to keep record?
Better to transport them to PC for future reference. Transferring 5 hrs of voice everyday in real time gets to you.
Now to get to the point.
NetMD is great ... but te copy protection features suck.
I noticed that sony has a Data MD which has far more capacity than the existing music discs. Why in the name of @#$@#$ can't we use those for music?
Imagine with good NetMD and those Data discs MD can become virtually indestructible. Why oh Why?
I am getting so swayed to the iPod because of the extra capacity ....
Someone epoxy my wallet .....
