My CHIPOD MP3 player!!!!
 
So I was looking for an MP3 player on Eghey. I came across this thing.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...2232&rd=1&rd=1

It finally got here from China. I bought it with the intention of, its $24, if it doesnt work who cares. Suprise, Suprise. This thing works ------- great. I loaded tons of music on it and it works great. Its a true 4gb unit. It also plays movies, pictures, E-books, games, and the radio reception is actually really good.

Its the size of a Nano, so you can call it the ChiPod or the Chano. None the less it works tits!

I don't use I tunes. Windows Media Player downloaded right to it and I also just added file by file for other songs.

Yeah doesn't surprise me too much, it's just a bunch of basic components and flash memory is far from expensive. 4gb miniSD cards are less than $20, i can imagine not-mini flash memory is a helluva lot cheaper.

If you don't mind walking around with an obvious knockoff product, it's a great deal. I've never understood why they dont create their own designs and make them look decent instead of selling stuff that looks cheap.

Nice, can't beat it even if it only works for a couple of months....would be interesting to know when/if it show happen to crap out on you.
Flast memory is getting very cheap lately so i'm not surprised...most by the ipod for the name anyways...imo

Are you sure that it really has 4 gigs of memory?

A lot of eBay mp3 players have some hack written into the software that will make the unit show as 4 gig when looking at it on a computer, but it actually has less. You can load 4 gigs of ---- on it, but it starts overwriting each other and just gives you errors all the time when you try to play an affected file.

The easiest way to tell the true storage space is to format the drive. It will then show the actual storage space.

But if it's really a 4 gig unit then that's a sweet deal!

---- iTunes(while making this post on iBook..lol) I'll stick with knockoff mp3 players also. I was thinking of getting one of those also Dave but wasn't sure. I've got some wireless mp3 headphones that I used at work that I rigged up in my earmuffs. O0

is that the sandisk mp3 player? i bought the sandisk one and only paid like 35$ at hastings, and for the money i spent, it was really good. But i got a good deal on a 30g ipod for $150 from a friend so i upgraded. If i ever have to go back ill be so lost. I got the fm adapter and all the cords, headphone, itunes disk, and case for $150.

1 word. Battery. Expect battery life problems/failures as thats the only thing moderately expensive in any of these mp3 players. Same thing goes for laptops. Notice how the 1.5hr laptops are $500 and the 5hr ones are double that easily with the same ----...yea, batteries are expensive.

Heh.

I expect my laptop battery to last 30 minutes, max.

I love the extended battery on my laptop. It sticks out of the back a bit but it has retarded long life. I hooked it up to my tv and watched 6 episodes of heroes (~4.5 hours) while keeping the lcd on, still had 25% life left at the end of the night.

^ Thats pretty slick. Imagine having a heroes marathon like my friend Matt wants to hold before the new season begins... :l That ---- would take forever

My iBook's battery last like 3 hours but like after an hour or so of use the battery gets herpes burning hot and then take forever for it to load ----. Apple FTW! Then I just grab some frozen veggies from the freeze and set it on that and she's back in business. :6
