An Mp3 Player Question.

For every 1000 creative zens sold, I reckon about 700 of these won't work straight out of the box.

The Creative firmware is the highest degree of suck. Check their support forums; there's probably about 40 or 50 pages of people (including myself, at one point) saying that updating the firmware completely killed their player. Of course, the faulty firmware update is still up there and they refuse to do anything about it unless you want to pay some $200 dollars to have it repaired.
Honestly, just get an ipod and be done with it. Zune has that whole weird DRM business, Creative's software and support is awful, and I'm way too lazy to read up on other models.
Or you could just use a walkman like me and put all your music on tapes

i actually have a Zune (insert gasp here). I don't have one of the fancy new ones, but I like it anyways, especially since they did a software update and now my older generation Zune runs quite similarly to the newer ones.
Now, for my mp3 player owning history. I used to own an iPod, but it no longer lives due to my own clumsiness; I dropped it, it landed on a corner and the screen cracked. That being said, I have also dropped my Zune and it has not cracked. So if you're clumsy, I'd say go with a Zune. Also, I like the Zune interface better than iTunes. Also, forgive me, all you iPod owners out there, but I can't stand scrolling around in a circle forever to get to my music. There's also the iPod touch, but I've heard a lot of problems about it, including online reviews and from people I know who own them.
In summary, I've owned both an iPod and a Zune, and I much prefer the Zune.
Spinless:
Anybody see that experiment where to break a first gen iPod nano, they had to toss it 30 feet into the air and run over it in a car several times before it broke?
KharBevNor:
I just bought an Archos 605.
This thing is insane. It's better than any other mp3 player you have ever imagined. It's got a web browser, an e-book reader, it can hook up to a television and play media files from your computer over wifi, and I think there's an optional firmware upgrade that allows it to fuck your mothers.
So good.
Tehz:
If you really don't want an iPod, than definitely get a Zune. I played around with my friend's Zune for a while, and I really liked it.
