I have a zune player and my boyfriend is looking to get a mp3 player, we dont want to get two different subscriptions for music. Are there any other mp3 players that can run off of zune market place? OR can you add music to the zune player with something other then the Zune market place?

You cannot use any other player with the Zune pass. You can use music that you purchase from other sources with your Zune. None of the music on my Zune came from the Zune Marketplace. One or two items even came from iTunes.

You also can’t use your Zune with another subscriptions service such as Rhapsody.

I am trying to decide to get an ipod or mp3 (non Ipod) player. I know Ipod are mp3 players with added apps. I just didn’t know about mp3 players how you get the music. Ipod you can buy cards at walmart to use but what about other mp3 players or can you use the same cards for music on them?

Without any changes, you can’t use iTunes without an ipod/iphone. But i remember reading an article on www.pcworld.com i believe that can change that so itunes accepts any mp3 player. i’m afraid you’ll have to look for yourself on that though. But it IS possible

I’m getting the Ematic 4GB MP3 Video Player with 2.4" Screen and 5-Mpix Camera and I know you can get itunes for it but I dont use itunes, for all 4 MP3 players I’ve had before they all used limewire just fine. Will this one be able to, as well? Thanks you!

yeah all mp3 players can get songs from limewire. any music playing device can

Zune got rid of all their old players besides the Zune HD, and it seems there are very few High Capacity players out there right now. If you like me, then you like to have your entire collection available to you on your MP3 player. Do we really have to wait for Solid state drives to get better before we see these High Capacity Players back?

you can get an ipod classic 120gb, thats what i have.

If this is "America" isn’t it supposed to be equal marketing than a monopoly. There seems to be more accommodating products for the ipod than other mp3 players, this isn’t fair! They should make docks for other mp3 players.

they do you just have to look around i don’t own an ipod i own an insignia i love it i think its better than an ipod mainly people pay for a name my insignia comes with a list of things for it like wireless headphones and an expandablee memory slot

I noticed that people who are ‘technologically iliteratte’ have no idea what Mp3 players are yet they own an Ipod.
What aspect about ipods made the world fall in love with them?
Do you think that they are overrated or do they deserve there stance of King of the Portable media.

I think the iPod, like many other Apple products are as popular as they are because they have an attractive design, easy for stupid people to use and most of all, have a massive list of accessories for all the brain dead consumer morons to buy. Really, who needs a fuzzy leopard print sleeve anyways?

If it weren’t for marketing, compatibility and the continuation of the iPod "format" (or operating system, whatever you want to call it), they would be like any other mp3 player, the first model would have come out, and months later, would have been completely replaced by a totally different one with the Apple logo on it.

Btw, in your last sentence, you misspelled their (not there)

I know the new IPod Nano has a video camera but I want something under $100.00.

I was thinking of buying an IPod last night when I saw all the other versions of it put out that cost less and holds more songs. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with the other mp3 players or do you think that IPods are the best???

iPods claim better integration with Windows and Apple systems.

I don’t want to keep buying &200-$400 mp3 players just so they can fail after 1-3 years.

yes, i read this in a poular science issue, and they can explain it better that me. go to popsic.com and look for the section called how 2.0, and search for what u r looking 4.

I really DONT want to get an ipod,but when I research other MP3 players,finding coordinating speakers with an A/C connection is at least $100.,if avialible at all. Does anyone know of any way around this?

No…

You can get mp3 players that require batteries and used by the aux port, but you have to buy a A/C connection yourself.

But there is really no point to that, because they are really cheap and flimsy.

PS: You could always use desktop speakers with a/c connections to do the job.
