What portable music playing device do you use?
As the title says, what device do you use to listen to music while on the go?
When listening to music in your car, do you connect an external device through your car speakers via bluetooth/cassette tape/fm transmitter?
I'm also thinking of perhaps buying an (affordable) mp3 player for my wife's brother for Christmas or his birthday. Do you like yours enough to recommend it to someone else?

Had to change the battery but apart from that it still works.
Would I recommend getting one: Not if you want something affordable.
(With the battery grip and a bigger regular battery it just lasts forever, and I have a plug-in remote control as well, so I can just clip it on, put the PSP in my pocket or bag, and just use the control if I need to change something)
I used a DS with an R4 (original non-hdsc model) and Moonshell and it worked alright.
But barring lack of space (because my old model R4 only went up to 2gb!), the DS isn't exactly ideal for listening to music. Quite a bit of quality is lost in that kind of media playback.
The PSP is better. Not perfect but with a nice pair of headphones you get a good experience. (Headphones> Earphones in my opinion)
The iPhone has some nice playback (I used my 3gs for it for a while before I ran out of space on it! XD)
This seemed like a really good idea back in 2006.
30GB.
Still works, no reason to replace it.
All the same, it *will* be replaced with...
Because I need a new phone, the S3 seems like an excellent choice, and I now own a 64GB microSD card, which finally puts to rest the troublesome issue of every phone I've had before having less less storage than my 6 year-old Zune.
Price is pretty good, though.
Oh, for public transport I use the internal memory unit. The sound quality isn't as good and the music sometimes gets interrupted by commentary of the surroundings, but again, can't beat the price. And the controls are hands free.
If you just want a small MP3 player with expandable memory, support for lots of audio formats, and good sound quality, I think this player is a good choice. I've been using Sansa Clips for years, and I love them.
It's never really bothered me. It just takes a few seconds and it only happens if I add new stuff to it, which I don't do very often.
It is limited. Like, you can't delete/rename/copy/move files, or create playlists, or anything unless you connect it to a computer. When it says "player" it really means player. That's all it does. But otherwise, it has served me well. Also has a radio tuner which is nice and plays some video files. AVI and WMV. It auto-converts for you as well which is nice.
I used to use my DSphat back in the day with an R4DS microSD card reader. But since the size was limited to 2GB and the max sampling rate output was something like 32Khz or something it wasn't ideal. Also it was huge to carry around in your pocket.
EDIT: 64Gb
