    List of OCR-Approved Digital Audio Players

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I had a clip for a long time and another part of it that I absolutely love is the fact that it's virtually indestructible.

    I left my clip in the side pocket of a duffel bag and left the duffel bag outside. It was flooded when I opened it and the clip was sitting in at least 2 inches of water. I get home thinking the thing is done for, but it powered up just like normal and it worked fine.

    I've also had the clip fall out of an open pocket onto my driveway. I'd completely forgot about it until 7 hours or so later when it was snowing pretty good. I dug it out of about an inch or two of snow and brought it back inside. After about a day, it started to work again (luckily nothing got lodged in the charging port).

    I had a second gen iPod classic for a while and switching to this was a great decision. As far as audio players go, the Sansa Clip was awesome in that it delivered portability without sacrificing too much else.

    In a Landscape

    I definitely would've mentioned In a Landscape, that song is the second most played in my library. The closest video game arrangement to that sort of piano work is this in my opinion. I actually feel the one thing that's holding that back is the fact that it has to be a video game arrangement. It has a lot of very powerful flowing depth where the notes on the piano seem to blend together to create a feeling.

    I listen to a lot of movie soundtracks as well and I find that some less than stellar movies can have fantastic soundtracks. The two movie soundtracks that jump out me the most are Breach and The Bourne Supremacy. Breach absolutely nails simple and engaging piano work along with some dark boding stings. The few tracks in the soundtrack that incorporate electronic elements are also very well done, particularly the beginning of Double or Nothing. The Bourne Supremacy is just generally a good soundtrack for being very well driven rhythmically while still maintaining some very strong melody and harmony, usually something I find is hard to do in an action movie. Also, Luke Wieting is worth looking at.

    I would be stuck listening to basically everything my early friends listened to (mostly mainstream rock) if not for OCR. Musically, this site has saved my life.
