In the market for a new mp3/pvp

by coldsnap0 Jul 15, 2007 7:55AM PDT

I'm selling my current 4th Gen Color ipod for 170$. I'm in the market for a new mp3/pvp around the price rage of 200-250. Maybe higher if i get a lot of goodies. I'm looking into a Zune since i've only purchased about 20 songs off itunes so that won't affect me too much. Plus it looks slick and supports mutliple media formats. The video ipod i'm having 2nd thoughts about, i don't think it supports as many formats as the zune and smaller screen and shorter battery life. But convince me.
I'm open to all suggestions, ive looked around Cnet and saw the Archos, but it seems a little bit pricy.
Thank you for taking your time.

I would totally reccomend the Creative Zen Vision:M . http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/creative-zen-vision-m/4505-6490_7-31632696.html?tag=prod.txt.1 . I've had this player for over a year now, and it's been the best one I've owned. You can find it for about $200 online. It comes in 5 colors, the screen has four times the colors as the iPod's screen, it has an FM radio and recorder, microphone, organizer, and soo much more. Customizable wallpaper and color themes are a great addition too. While the Zune's screen is bigger, the Zen's is better, according to Cnet, and I've heard the sound quality of the ZV:M exceeds the Zune's.

I hope this helped

in the market for a new mp3 player

by photomom7 Jul 17, 2007 12:20AM PDT

I had a Creative Zen V Plus and the joystick just broke off and then the player froze up. No damage had been done to it. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm wondering if the Vision M might work better. I purchased my V Plus in December of 06. I'm thinking it should have lasted longer than 7 months.
