Hello again another creative mp3 player question HELP!!!!

Oct 15, 2005 1:44PM PDT

I'm new here and posted earlier and no one responded so I'm narrowing down my choices. I'm now between
The Zen extra and the Zen touch. Extra offers a 60gb hard drive. My question is which is better as far as the controls? Zen with the touch pad or Zen Extra with the buttons on the sides? I really need to know your opinions to help make the right choice. Also what are your thoughts on the new Zen micro?
Thanks,
Judi

i, personally wud actually go with the zen micro because it has everything that I need. but out of the touch and Xtra, take the touch-> interface looks a lot more interesting, but other than that, they're both the same thing practically to me. Unless you want a 60Gb monster,(i really don't see how people know that many songs) go ahead.

Thanks for responding to my post. I do like the Zen Micro, but only 5gb of space? I take it you have the Micro? Can you tell me about the amount of songs it can download? I was impressed by what it had to offer, but I'm afraid I'll run out of space for my music. It looks aewsome and has some wonderful features.
