what does your Mp3 player say about you ?


Recommended Posts

I have a Nomad Jukebox C ( used to be 6gb now has a 20 gb HD ), Nomad Jukebox Zen USB 2.0 ( 20 gb ), Nomad Muvo2 ( a 4 gb model but has a 256 CF card instead )

I don't know what they say about me.  :happy:  ;)

:whistle: uuuhhh...split personalities ? or at the very least you compartmentalise your life ?

Be happy. :D

Iriver H10 - It says I grabbed the first thing I saw and have been disappointed with this pile of junk since. 3 dead hard drives and a twitchy touch pad later i'm realizing I should have gone with a company that has some actual customer support and quality products.

We've seen it with cars. pets, etc but how about Mp3 players ?

Presumably part of why we've chosen a particular model is based on how it looks, the image (we think) it projects, etc.

I have a silver Creative Zen Micro = no issues about size (LOL), not mainstream (ie. not an Ipod). Silver probably suggests I'm not adventurous, conventional.

What do you think your Mp3 player says about you ?

I dunno, to me that says you could have bought an iPod but were far too image conscious to get one, so you got a Creative instead so you could be "anti"

way to stick it to the man.

128mb - currently holding 32 full songs at 128 bit-rate, er'body else w/ mp3 players under 1gb always ask me how i fit 30+ full songs into a 128mb player but they dont know they can resize their bit-rate and save space espeicially it's 128mb

- got it for free, along w/ sony clip-on headphones

- something diff. from those rich kids i know w/ 20 gb ipods but not more than 5gb of songs.

- me? i have 20+ gb, just not enough space on my mp3 player.

-meh it's free, small, light and alright.

Then again, he could've just like...... wanted better features. :omg:

Yup, and I think the word you're groping for is "shallow". :D

Although it has to be said, the Creative does have better features than the iPod.

My discman plays mp3s. I think it says im not a ****ing trend follower. I'd rather spend 40$ on a discman and a dollar on a cd that holds almost as much as alot of these mp3 players. so for around 50$, i can have approximately, 10 cds with around 150 on each. I don't see why you have to have 200-300 songs in one thing just so you can be cool and not have to carry cds. I have a small cd case which holds all my cds and it fits in my jacket pocket. It may not be cool but it's cheap and still does the same job.

Blue iPod mini, 6GB. I've barely used it since I got it like the silver iPod mini I had before, yet I carry it with me everywhere. I've used it maybe 4 or 5 times. The fact that I haven't used it much doesn't mean I didn't like it though, I love my iPod to death.

I don't know about anyone else but to me, that sounds like you carry it just to be seen with it.

    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to train them to help sort Adobe's old spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better against Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
