Yeah, iPods (for example) are still selling like hotcakes.]]>May 10th 2010 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/I've slowly begun to have the same opinion as you. Dedicated mp3 players are great, but lately I've only been using my phone. Being able to have access to all of my mp3's as well as Pandora and Grooveshark is huge advantage for a phone over an mp3 player.]]>May 10th 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
Once I got my Droid I had no need for a secondary player anymore. Before that, I had a Sansa Clip for the gym, an old Zune, and an iPod Touch (plus a Blackberry Curve). Android/iPhone OS smartphones pretty much make it irrelevant to keep a bunch of devices that overlap in function]]>May 10th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
I do use a dedicated iPod, but it's housed in my car, basically as an external hard drive with every song from my music library. I do not use CD's anymore, I think the real question is does anyone still use a portable CD player, I still see them in stores and all.]]>May 10th 2010 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/i use my cowon s9 every day because of its 32gb storage, great battery life and superior sound quality. maybe its possible to find a phone with two of these features, but at least in sound quality the s9 trumps every phone any day.]]>May 10th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/I will never use a phone for a DAP.

I'd rather not have to juggle the usage of my music playing around the battery life of a phone - my Cowon S9 goes a week before needing a charge (55 hour rating) while my Desire goes a day. I'd also rather be able to use my phone separately without having to mess around with headphone wires (mine are tucked down my back under my shirt, round my belt loops and into my pocket).

O and my S9 sounds better than any phone out there and takes more codecs.]]>May 10th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
Yup, it does hold all of my mp3's. I've long since purged the thousands of songs that were downloaded or ripped from CD's that I have absolutely no use to keep on my hard drive, let alone phone.]]>May 10th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
Also, due to fans of a certain other company and their propensity towards insisting that anything looking vaguely similar to their products should be ridiculed, I will semi-sarcasticly say this:

I think my Zune HD has a similar charge]]>May 10th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
At this stage I personally I think it's all about media players like the Viliv P3 with advanced smartphone like features/specs, running an OS like android but just not being able to make calls/text and are dedicated souly to media consumption and web, yet at the same time highly portable.]]>May 10th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
@Smart People Play Tuba: It's not just battery life - if I could fine a phone that sounded as good as a Cowon PMP, I'd totally agree with you. Sadly convergence hasn't produced that outcome yet: sound quality from a dedicated PMP is solidly ahead. Yes, I know that's not a concern for everyone and their phone is "good enough" (I still use mine for Spotify on the go). But the market's far from gone.]]>May 10th 2010 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/i think you forgot /s tag?]]>May 10th 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/
I don't have a smartphone.

And my current PMP is a Creative Nano 1GB that I've had for YEASR lol.

I DO want a smartphone AND I DO want to listen to more music, more easily. But I don't think I should need two separate devices.

I recently bought some £150 ear-phones and started using FLAC. ]]>May 10th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/I have hundreds of albums!

At work I have a 500GB HDD. At home I have a 750GB HDD and a 120GB SSD. Plenty of room for FLAC (which I play with Songbird).

Most of my music is still in MP3 format but I'm gradually creating a FLAC archive. The earphones I got are only mid-range (Phonak PFE112) - I didn't go as far as the £300 Shures.

I still use MP3s on my ancient Creative Nano as it's only 1GB (and it can't play FLAC) ]]>May 11th 2010 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 10th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 11th 2010 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/May 11th 2010 2:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/samsung-mp3-player-goes-60-hours-on-a-charge/http://www.wholesaleinc.net/Wholesale-mp3-players_c108]]>May 24th 2010 5:13AM
