MP3 favorite sites? and MP3 player ?s


Recommended Posts

Drum roll- My first Thread on the new board!

 

I was given a Sansa c240 for Christmas 2006. I wore it out. (battery might be dead, but it was doing some funky stuff so it isn't long to my world regardless)

 

I've been without portable MP3 for 4-5 months and just today realized how much the loss has diminished my quality of life. Have I gotten anything accomplished in the last 6 months? Does anyone else feel like Dementors have surrounded your house? I've been sullen, moody, depressed, unmotivated, unfocused, need I go on?

 

Question one: I only used the player for audio books, and my biggest complaint was finding my place in the chapters. The c240 wouldn't fast forward well at all and it stored by disk (like in hour + increments) so if I lost my place/powered-down/charged, it was a bear to get back to where I stopped. *Someone* mentioned on the old boards the feature that the player would need to make this easier. I've searched and can't find it. This is one of those "Thought I'd remember, but can't" moments! What is this feature?

 

Question two: So, I am looking to buy a new player, but don't think it's an Ipod because I want to download from the Library as well as Librivox and Audible. Any recommendations? Sansa's OK, but the Sansa site doesn't list features (that FF function from Q1), Zune, or another cheap but good option?

 

I am truly amazed how much this one little device helped me get through the day, week, months... I gardened, painted, cleaned, and de-cluttered listening to books. OF COURSE, this is all "after school" or "kids pleasantly occupied with meaningful pursuits" times.

 

Oh how I miss it. It is my only real alone time. If only in my mind.... (psst. DH detests audiobooks "too slow" for his tastes, which is why I asked for the portable player to begin with...Now he doesn't have to listen.)

 

Question three: Any other "not to be missed" download sites?

 

Please bear with me; I'm in a funk. party0033.gif

I'm on my third iPod. I love my iPod! But, iPods are not compatible with my library's digital audiobook downloads. So, I bought a SanDisk just to download books. I really love it. I also download books for Dd6 to listen to. On my regular iPod I mainly listen to podcasts and audiobooks that I've burned to my iPod from the library or from audible. I do subsrcibe to audible just because there are a few books I can only find there. Anyway, I do most of my downloading from iTunes.
