Is it safer to buy a normal MP3 player than an Apple IPod?

Answer 1

I'd say safer to buy the iPod, as the warrenty is excellent. They replace it after almost anything. Plus iPods themselves seem to be much more durable then others, my sisters both have other brands and they both broke w/ in 3 months.

Answer 2

I've really found no real problem with either of them. iPods have the most accessories and are the most popular, but there really is no real difference in terms of safety. All hard drives can crash, no matter what the company. But think about this, how many PCs do you know that have crashed compared to how many Macs have crashed
