It has been awhile since I've owned an MP3 player. Is there anything new I need to know?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I think only iPod has that problem(correct me if I’m wrong), because everyone of the songs have to be updated into your iTunes library and then ‘synced’ into your iPod. If you use a third party file transfer software, you should be able to bypass the copyright restrictions. In my opinion, iPod is kind of annoying, I don’t like how we can’t upload songs from our iPod to the computer. And all songs have to be updated into iTunes first before transferring to iPod. The mp3 players that I own, iRiver and sandisk do not have that problem. Regardless, I recommend that you check the mp3 player you want to buy on Cnet Reviews before you purchase. Also, here is a general buying guide if you are interested.
