I've put together 8 pretty simple questions that I'm hoping you guys will answer for me. Please answer honestly :)

1.) Which MP3 Player/PMP* do you have (please be specific)?
2.) Why did you pick your MP3 Player/PMP*?
3.) What's your favorite feature?
4.) What's your least favorite feature?
5.) How is the battery life (how long does it last)?
6.) What application do you use to sync media to your MP3 Player/PMP*?
7.) Do you use your MP3 Player/PMP* 'on the go' (e.g: Jjogging, running, driving, etc)?
8.) Have you had any problems with your MP3 Player/PMP* and, if so, what?

*PMP = Personal Media Player

Please use the format above when replying.

Again, please be honest. If you're using a 5GB 1G iPod, I won't make fun of you.. I promise!

Your answers are much appreciated fellas :D

Zune 30gb

i really liked the design and capabilities of this compared to an ipod

the menus are easy to go through, fm radio, games

theres nothing i dont like about it

battery life is about 14 hours of music

zune software

i use it for everything

no, i havent had a single problem. this thing is scratch resistant, unlike an ipods chrome back, the large screen is so nice.

also, they are pretty cheap

1.) Which MP3 Player/PMP* do you have (please be specific)? 4GB Zune
2.) Why did you pick your MP3 Player/PMP*? Price, size, not and Ipod but still from a large company
3.) What's your favorite feature? Radio or touch sensitive pad
4.) What's your least favorite feature? Video playback since I never use it, even though there is nothing wrong with it.
5.) How is the battery life (how long does it last)? Not sure...10 hours..Battery bar is unreliable to go off of.
6.) What application do you use to sync media to your MP3 Player/PMP*? Zune's Software
7.) Do you use your MP3 Player/PMP* 'on the go' (e.g: Jjogging, running, driving, etc)? Its the only reason why I have it. I use it biking 5 miles each way to school as well as in the gym.
8.) Have you had any problems with your MP3 Player/PMP* and, if so, what? Yes, I am actually on my 3rd one. The first one wouldn't power on and I believe the second one did the same. This one could use a return considering the battery life bar is unreliable, being that half charge means empty to it, but not always.

Which version?

I have an old 8330 sitting in my closet from back when I joined Verizon and it has a decent media player but I don't think I could use it for a PMP, the other features of the device would interrupt me too often.

1.) Sony NWE005 (used very rarely)
2.) Free; out of the choices I had, it was the smallest and had FM
3.) Size (same size as typical flash drive with USB port and screen)
4.) What's your least favorite feature?
5.) 4-6 hours I guess (really depends how much shuffling and screen-ing is used)
6.) Custom software to bypass Sony's (IE drag and drop MP3s)
7.) I do have AUX in my Jeep, but it's typically used for flights and such
8.) Sometimes getting music synced can be a problem. A "certificat" must be made first using Sony's software, and this can be removed if not careful.

Again, please be honest. If you're using a 5GB 1G iPod, I won't make fun of you.. I promise!

I have the 8330 and I love it, I also have the Storm and droid through Verizon that I use only for work and honestly I dont like either. I like the droid more than the Storm but I really like my 8330. My 8330 which is my personal phone is through Sprint.

The only thing that interrupts the media player is the when a call comes through. When I receive Emails, Texts, Messages from bb messenger all it does is vibrate but does not affect the song in anyway.

If you are interested in selling the 8330 through Verizon I might have someone who is interested in it.

1. Ipod Shuffle
2. It was cheap and was a Ipod not some other generic MP3 player.
3. Shuffle
4. Lack of screen
5. 11-12 hours
6. iTunes
7. jogging/work/in the car
8. the random fill isn't so random as I use it 4 nights a week at work for 10 hours and hear a lot of the same songs over and over.

Just curious as to what media company you work for or what school your going too that your collecting this for?

I don't work for a media company and I'm not doing this for school. This list is for personal use.

1.) Which MP3 Player/PMP* do you have (please be specific)? 16GB Zune HD
2.) Why did you pick your MP3 Player/PMP*? Price was better compared to the Ipod Touch and the screen was larger, among various other reasons.
3.) What's your favorite feature? The touchscreen is fantastic and the system handles my library very well.
4.) What's your least favorite feature?Battery indicator could use some work, would be nice to have the clock more present, and there's a lack of apps right now compared to the Ipod touch.
5.) How is the battery life (how long does it last)?About 10 hours.
6.) What application do you use to sync media to your MP3 Player/PMP*?Zune software, which works surprisingly well.
7.) Do you use your MP3 Player/PMP* 'on the go' (e.g: Jjogging, running, driving, etc)?Hooked up in my car was the main reason I bought it. No more switching CD's!
8.) Have you had any problems with your MP3 Player/PMP* and, if so, what? Nope, it's been well worth the price. Though I'm already starting to reach capacity. Should of gotten the 32GB model.
