It's a bit banged up and the battery doesn't last as long as it used to. Running out of space too..Sup wrote:
In what way is the mini outdated? The sound is still the same quality. You want to watch videos on it?

Mines still working flawlessly after 3 years. iCare FTWhaffeysucks wrote:
dear lord my mini ran out of battery a year and a half after i bought it. i would fully charge it and it'd be empty in 30 minutes. no backlight on either. you got a good one...
i would go for the touch, but that might be just because i have one.
I sent it in last year to have the battery replaced. I didn't know it would last this long though cause they stopped making stuff for the mini's a couple years ago.haffeysucks wrote:

Best recommendations aside from the usual iPod/Zune. I have a Cowon D2, love it.Jenspm wrote:
I'd recomend an iRiver Clix2, Creative XFi or a Cowom.

No, I'm sorry, no it won't. One, no way in hell can you rip an hour and a half film to half a gig at DVD quality. If that was possible, the industry would be using CD's. Two, to be pedantic, it's impossible. Any transcoding loses quality.TheAussieReaper wrote:

That makes no sense, resolution and picture quality are two different things. Perhaps it optimizes it for the display, but certainly not the resolution.TheAussieReaper wrote:
The quality actually improves when you display it on your ipod screen, because it doesn't just resize them but makes sure the quality is excellent for that resolution. It's perfect.
and about 40gb of movies(so that's about 20 movies)
And I wouldn't recommended a zune, simply because it's from Micro$oft.

Ofc you can. DVD's resolution is just a bit better than NTSC/PAL (PAL is even a bit worse but just giving example). Blurays don't have the quality to fill a full 40 bluray. The industry artificially expands the movie's capacity so you won't be able to record the same quality to a DVD without ripping it and loosing a bit of quality.Defiance wrote:

You really have no clue do you? Have you used the converter? No. So either do that and then make wild claims about how it isn't true, or gtfo.Defiance wrote:

You got your math wrong on that one.
Fanboyism, the deathblow to whatever advice you had.

Calm down there, you seem to be excited over nothing. As your aforementioned fanboyism would help indicate, I'm sorry you're under the impression that I insulted your precious iPod. In fact, nothing I said was anti-iPod.TheAussieReaper wrote:

Resolution and picture quality are two different things. Something you seemed to not have picked up on in your first anti iPod rant.
How can it optimize for the display but not the resolution? Omg. lol
And the 40gb of movies so 20 movies obviously should have read 20gb of movies so 40 of them. Duh.
You've seen pretty much the end of the list.ebug9 wrote:

Nah, 8 is too small, get 16 at least. You'd be amazed at how quickly it fills up with formatting/updates/applications/games and you have no room for music or moviesRyan wrote:

$300's a bit steep for the 16GB. I'll see what happens with the money/gift certificates I get for Christmas.Winston_Churchill wrote:
