Most Popular Non-iPod Digital Music Player: Your Phone [Hive Five Followup]

 There are plenty of reasons why you'd want to load up a digital music player and take it with you instead of streaming music from the cloud, like better audio quality, not wanting to drain your phone's battery, smaller size. Whatever your reasons are, last week we asked you which device you kept handy to keep and play your digital music (that isn't the iPod, since it's clearly the king of the market.) You answered with tons of great suggestions, and then we took a look at the top five digital music players and put them to a vote. Now we're back to highlight the overall winner.

The majority of you—45% of the overall vote, in fact, say that your smartphone, whether it's Android, iOS, Windows Phone, or something else, pulls double duty as both streaming and local music player. Why carry another device, when you already have a phone with tons of storage in your pocket? Behind that, 21% of you showed some love for the now-defunct Microsoft Zune and Zune HD. In third place with 18% of the votes cast is the Sandisk Sansa line of music players, like the Sansa Clip and Fuze. 9% of you preferred the Creative Zen series of music players, and bringing up the rear in fifth place was Cowon and its line of music players, which many of you praised for great audio quality.

Most Popular Meeting Minutes Service: Microsoft OneNote [Hive Five Followup]

 There are dozens of web services and special tools designed to help you make the most of the meetings you have to attend or organize, whether it's at work, a community group, or for a volunteer function. Some of them are free, others are web-based, but at the end of the day, the best one is the one that helps you and everyone else stay on the same page and get more done. Earlier in the week we asked you which services you used to manage your meeting minutes and agendas, and then we took a look at the top five. Now we've back to highlight the winner.

Even though it's not strictly designed for meeting minutes, Microsoft OneNote took the top spot with 45% of the overall vote. It's Windows only The desktop version is Windows only (compared to all of the other services, which are all webapps) and the most expensive of the bunch when purchased with Office, but the fact that it comes with Microsoft Office and so many of you are already familiar with it helped lead it to victory. Minutes.io, a great free webapp for managing your meeting minutes and sending out notes after the meeting, took second place with 26% of the overall vote. In third was LessMeeting with just over 12% of the vote, and in fourth place was the freemium service Meetin.gs brought up the rear with just under 6%.
