Robin Hood Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I am thinking of getting this for my dds 10th birthday and Kmart has them for $30.00 this week. Amazon has a description of them but no reviews so I don't know how they really perform. And I am a techy dunce. I know nothing and I don't care to know more, so I need the help. http://www.amazon.com/2GB-Record-Black-forrest-Silverplates/dp/B00180Q1UY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1215271794&sr=8-4 The Kmart clerk was shocked I didn't want an Ipod because be you can store pictures and watch movies, too. My thought on that is that my dd is only going to be 10, I don't want to go there at such a young age, and when and if I allow it later, technology will be much further advanced and as things get outdated, she'll be able to replace it with what she wants as she earns her own money. I think he was shocked also that I won't spend that much money on my dd. That's a lot of money on something she'll frequently misplace, if not lose within a year.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Instead of a 10 year old - how about the advice of my 11 year old "Tech Support"? He says he does not know anything specific about that particular MP3 player (we have a Sandisk one - a little bit more expensive and plays video) . This particular player is a flash-memory using device. It will last longer than something like an IPod shuffle, which is comparable in size and in the fact that it has no video but uses a hard disk. A hard disk will eventually wear out. It should have instructions in the box to tell you how to put songs in it but you should probably be able to put them in using Windows Media Player on your PC or if you use a Mac, you should be able to use ITunes. If you have more questions feel free to ask. :gnorsi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want the movie watching thing, but for Christmas I like to buy the girls a camera, so it would be nice to have a device for music and storing pictures. Or is that a stupid idea? Would they just be duplicating pictures? What would your son recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
