lil_me Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Bought one yesterday Really annoyed at them knocking another ?10 off the cameras I bought the kids just after I bought them, law of sods I suppose. Everywhere has been selling everything off cheaper, those who plan and buy early for Xmas definately loosing out this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lil_me Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Thats exactly what I thought Phasmid, 256 USB storage are about ?20 ish aren't they so I got one for my DP to go with his Xmas pressie. That way he can store uni stuff and some music for when he's bored in lectures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lil_me Report post Posted December 22, 2005 I'm sure he'd disagree if he was honest, he pretends Uni is the best thing ever but only ever mentions the pub he visits at lunch time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phasmid Report post Posted December 22, 2005 They never gave us time to visit the pub between morning and afternoon lectures (barely gave us time for a wee!). Pub! Flippin' heck students today don't know they're born....(mutter mutter mutter still studying mutter mutter mutter) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TuX Report post Posted December 23, 2005 256mb is awful if using it for music. But even so,?10 is cheap (what mp3 player was it?),i'm after a 1gb SONY or Sandisk pro duo memory stick for the same use but with a psp,that'd hold 125 tracks at 8mb in size according to what i've read.

Only takes a few mins to change the music to something else, just refreshing my 256MB player while I am typing this. Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be tempted to get a smaller card (to save some money-?33.50 for a 512). Most of my electronic music tracks (in mp3) would be over 9mb each,just worked out that'd be 28 tracks on a 256mb memory,the genre definately makes a difference,eg,masters at work tracks around or over 10 minutes long,System of a down tracks,around 3/4 minutes long. Have ' seen the Ipod Nano up close? That one is more in danger of being unable to spot than being too big to carry around ,looks great. Re.psp. Get deeper trouser pockets. The psp and it's pouch has a snug fit in mine if they haven't got bits of rubbish in them,what do you think of the earphones sound? i think that is bad,they shouldn't have limited the sound level on them as they can't even block out outside sound and voices,plus they probably make it more obvious to a thief who is using a psp with those ear phones like ipods and their earphones. Sorry,I realise i've gone on about something that isn't on topic/leaves thread. Edited December 23, 2005 by TuX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyque Report post Posted December 29, 2005 I got a couple of these too, they are great, got one for myself and one for my son. I managed to get 65 songs on the 256mb memory, I'd make that probably 6 albums worth, except I went through my files and made myself a compilation.
