IPod vs. IPod Mini

[Shiranai_Baka]

Lol.. I've seen 5.1 headphones.. they're still 2 speakers.. Don't know how they work though..

As for the Ipod vs Mini.. I'd go for the ipod. But if you're open to other kinds, I'd go for the zen, even though it doesn't look good, it lasts very long...

the 5.1 headphones are really wide. inside they have 2-3 speakers in each headphone.

i was just saying they're kinda akward and expensive...and i'm not sure why u would want 5.1 surround MP3s.

well... 5.1 mp3s could be very cool for compressing the audio streams from DVDs for use in AVI files. except there aren't any hardware AVI players that support 5.1 mp3s, so you'd be limited to using a PC (or maybe Xbox, if Xbox Media Center adds support for it) to get any real advantage out of it. however, the AC3 streams on DVDs are already compressed extremely well... for example, a 2.0 stereo AC3 stream is only a little bigger than a stereo mp3 of similar quality. *shrug*

as far as music goes, there really isn't enough 5.1 music available to get too excited about it. i guess if 5.1 ever becomes THE standard for new music releases, then 5.1 mp3 will be good for that.

get the new iriver player...color screen.different colors...high quality of course..

i wouldnt suggest any Creative products..i got a Xen Xtra and it broke after 6 months, thankfully Newegg sent me a brand new one, which is working well so far.
