10/13   The Zune has an FM Ftuner. Is there any MP3 player with an AM tuner?
        I saw Panasonic makes a portable CD player that plays MP3 and has
        an AM tuner, but playing MP3 from CD is not quite the same thing.

2/23    How can you listen to non iPods in your car if you don't have a
        tapedeck? Are there iTrip equivalents or other car adaptor kits for
        things like the Dell DJ ?
        \_ There are non-iPod-specific devices that will take in an audio
           signal and broadcast on an FM channel.  Belkin makes one.
           \_ I'd like to add that since they are subject to interference they

1/8     Does anyone know if the creative MuVo TX FM mp3 player can be
        set to display chinese? thanks.

           Next time, call them and ask. I did, and they said yes. You may need
           to dl a language pack.
           \_ This is a lot of congecture based largely on Clancy novels

7/15    Any difference between iriver 700 series and 800 series other than
        the shape? They all look very similar...
        \_ ipod/itunes is the best.             -ditched iriver for ipod
           \_ ipod mini hard to find, and no FM, battery replacement $100.
                                          \_ Not true:

3/22    ipod or the clones? that is the question? i am looking to get one, the
        ipod 15gb is $299. What clones of comparable price and feature? thx.
        \_ If you look at everyting as "bang-per-buck", then you'd be
           buying Hyundais and living in a ranch in Montana. The question
           you have to ask is "Do I like the way it feels and operates?
           Do I like the user interface?". If you're not going to use

1/2     Have the musical programming merits of XM vs. Sirius been
        debated on the motd recently? If so, would someone be kind
        enough to summarize? Otherwise, your humble opinions would
        be much appreciated. Most reviews of satellite radio programming
        I'd googled had been limited to technical interest sites and the
        talk boards of XM/Sirius loyalists (who often troll each others'

        1.5 pages of the kind of positive advertising money can't buy.
        So, does XM programming really represent a rebirth
        of the radio DJ? is Sirius not that far removed from Clear
        Channel-controlled FM radio? --elizp
                \_ I think this varies from channel to channel. I can attest
                        to the much higher program quality for a few XM

11/24   I'm thinking of buying a HD based MP3 player.  And I'm considering
        iRiver iHP-120, iPod, and Rio Karma, in that order, so far.  Just
        want to know what people use and think.
        \_ I've used them all and iPod is the most well rounded players of
           all in terms of reliability, support, weight, and ease of use.
           iPods do cost more, but you really get what you pay for.

9/1     I own a Honda Accord. I want to attach a laptop to the stereo system
        so I can play MP3s. How do I do this? (Essentially I want to figure out
        how to install/find the line-in into the car stereo). Are there kits
        available that I can use? And no, I don't want a cheezy FM
        rebroadcaster. I was thinking there just has to be a kit that does this.
        \_ Why a laptop? use a Mini-ITX system. less expensive.
