Need advice on MP3 Players -

[PaulaMurf]

I am going to get an MP3 player, I want to be able to use it in my car with an FM modulator - are there ANY players that come with FM modulation or do you have to buy a add on for that (i know IPOD offers it as a add on)

And, what does it cost to download songs at the various different sites? Can you tranfer music from CD to the MP3 or not??

TIA for any advice. I really dont know anything about these players and havent have time to research it.

do a search here and on the community board you'll find a lot.

Some people are caught in the IPOD craze, my family is caught in the CREATIVE craze, we've got a nomad 40g, nuvo 1g, and a nuvo 512 with fm radio...

I use the tape adapter in my cars for all 3 of them. DD9 uses her nuvo 512 mostly laying in her bed. I use my nomad running, walking, in my car, and through my stereo at home. the nuvo 1g spends its days 70 feet above ground while DBF cuts tree's away from power lines. The 2 nuvo's are both flash players, and I did have a problem with the 1g, had to call tech support and reformat it before it would install, but other than that i've had no problems. My nomad is over a year old, and even being a hard drive player it has been dropped twice, while in its case.. the nuvo 1g did go from the bucket to the ground and low and behold still plays fine..

I went with all 3 of the same brand only because I can use 1 program for the music on all 3, it knows which one is plugged in and pulls up the list thats on the player etc. I'm comfortable navigating my way around the creative program, so that helps. no idea even what itunes is as i've never even looked into it. No reason, as i dont have an ipod

I have a mix of cd music and downloaded music on all 3 of them. Some of the downloaded music is from yahoo music, some from limewire pro, some from winmx (yeah some's illegal)...some from napster.

good luck
