MP3 player question

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

hello tech smart people

 

today someone stole my 160 G iPod classic from my car.

 

the internet has informed me that it's too expensive to replace.

 

anyone know what would be comparable, available, and not stupidly costly?

 

I only need the audio capacity, at least 80 G, and I need usb to connect it to my car. or blue tooth but I'd prefer usb. it needs to be sturdy cause it stays in the car winter and summer

 

I hate touch features and don't need any video storage or games. just the audio.

 

any suggestions?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I should have put porn in the title....

My phone became my mp3 player. I don't carry much more than 8Gb of music, so I have a constant rotation list. I don't know anything about iphones, tho. Sawwy.

 

Honestly, everything you asked for in that request, a smart phone can do.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Ya my iPhone can do that except the part where I carry about 10,000 songs and a few audiobooks and I like to keep the music in the car and separate from the phone.

 

I want my iPod back

 

Or a reasonably priced facsimile.

[Guest]

Hi Cindy,

 

I can't really help. I also don't like the touchscreen things. I recently bought myself a new mp3 player, for quite cheap, and all it can do is play music (on shuffle all, or repeat all). It is only 16 GB though.

 

Have you tried searching for your specifics on a site of a store that you have in your area?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Ya, it looks like all I can do is get an iPod touch for too much money with less data storage than I want and too many features I don't want or shell out much much too much money and get a classic from aftermarket or perhaps buy my own back on eBay by now :/.

[Guest]

I hope eBay works for you.

 

It upsets me sometimes... there are many things where the simplest form would have sufficed. Like, if I could have a cellphone that could just call and send messages - perfect.

[Panchi]

Buy a cheap smartphone and extend storage with SD card?

 

That is the only suggestion that came to my mind.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

how do I use an sd card? could I use

one on a cheaper

MP3 player?

I

got a trakphone for that but it's becing obsolete.

 

ya I don't want to pay for a whole bunch of kings I don't need but they don't

seem

to give me a choice.

Oh, this is a good idea. You'll have to check to see if there is a cheap mp3 player available that may have a slot for a sd card.

there definitely are but I didn't know what an sd card was or how to use it.

 

can I just copy my I tunes library to it, pop it in, and feed the player through the USB

in

my car?

 

could I do that with a flash drive or would it not know how to read and play the data?

[Panchi]

You can do it with a flash drive as long as songs are not arranged in folders or all songs are in one single folder.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

if they're In a single folder will the songs be indexed? playable by. the cars voice commands by title or artist or is that something the iPod did?

[Guest]

Yeah, my car radio doesn't even care if there are folders (mine is arranged so that every artist has their own folder).

 

My car radio shows the names of the songs, and their artists, and I can shuffle them, but it does not show the folder names. I do have the ability to choose a folder, given that I know that a specific artist is folder number 34.

 

Just make sure that your car radio has the option for USB - when you're going through FM / AM / CD / USB. 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

yes it makes

me say "sync USB"

 

hmmm

I may just get a small flash drive and experiment.,,,

 

it would be much better to

lose a few dollars worth of flash drive than hundreds worth of new iPod.

[Guest]

Let us know if it works!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

yup yup and thanks for yalls helps!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Totally worked. $20 flash drive does the work of a $500+ iPod.

 

Thank yous!

[Guest]
