Do I have too many MP3 players?

[Mark Vanderberg]

Do I have too many MP3 players? I started out 4 years ago with a Creative Zen Micro 5 GB and then the headphone jack went bad so when it was out for repair I purchased a SanDisk Santa 2 GB. Then I purchased last Christmas a Microsoft Zune first-generation 30 GB  in brown. The 30GB Zune is a little on the heavy side to be carrying around work so I purchased a second generation Zune 8 GB. But then decided that the software that Microsoft supplies with it just did not do what I wanted it to do. I waited for the next upgrade and it was still somewhat for shit. So went out and purchased an Apple iPod Nano in the 8 GB model. You would think at this point I had way too many MP3 players. Well that's not exactly correct I just purchased last week in Apple iPod Classic in the 80 GB model. I can now put my entire CD collection and all the podcasts and video podcasts I listen to on one player.

So the main question is do I have too many MP3 players? At least I know that the shows on the network will work on multiple players. Yes that's it I'll tell my wife I have all these players because I need to make sure that all the shows network work correctly on all the players. Will She Believe Me?

MP3 Player List:

• Creative Zen Micro 5 GB
• SanDisk Santa 2 GB
• Microsoft Zune first-generation 30 GB
• Microsoft Zune second-generation 8 GB
• Apple iPod Nano 8 GB
• Apple iPod Classic 80 GB

What, you haven't bought the 160 gig iPod yet?    (I have the 40 Gig Classic, 60 Gig Classic, 80 Gig Classic, 6 Gig Micro, and 8 Gig Nano, and they all still work...) Seriously, I would send Doc the 60 if it would get episode 15 up earlier... (actually, I would send it to him just as a thank-you if he wanted it...  I am cheerfully downloading episode 14 as I type). iPods are like guns: there is always something bigger, better, or at least different to entice a guy (or gal) to spend more money (although I have not yet convinced my wife the logic of either... and no one buys up upgraded iPods like they do guns).

I started with a MyMusix 1gig mp3 and added a Sandisk Sansa 2 gig. When Woot had the 30 gig Zune I added that to my collection. I then signed up for Audiobooks and none of my players would play books. I purchased an 8 gig nano ipod. I am probably the only person in the USA that has an Ipod that does not have any music on it. All I have is Audio books and podcasts on my nano.

You used your 8GB Nano in the exact same way that I use mine. And the only differences I also have an 80 GB classic that I used for music.

I just have an Iphone 3G.....  I sync it every morning to my laptop... but if I run out of things to listen to through the day, I just just download straight to the phone while at work.....

I've got a Zen W sitting at the house that I used before the phone, but all I used it for was video and radio (if my Iphone would pick up radio I'd be soooo happy)

Maybe this weekend I will do a review on my thoughts about Microsoft's New Zune HD. When the review is available you'll be able to find it at my personal blog located at http://mark.vanderberg.org

Then maybe I will do a comparison of all of them.
