General discussion

new MP3 player

I've been considering getting a new MP3 player. I'd prefer a Flash-drive over an HDD player. However, I want about 8 or 16 GB. Currently, I'm torn between the Creative Zen V Plus and the iRiver Clix, but I'm open to other suggestions. Any help would be appreciated.

where are you getting your music?
Itunes? go for ipod all the way.
Amazon... Itunes will work... but you have more flexability

I don't know how easy it is to synch and manage with Windows Built in things.. so... I would recomend Ipod..

i dont really like itunes, so i use windows media player 11 and it works fine for me. I probably wont use my MP3 to watch videos, just strictly for music. i would prefer something really portable; i dont want something really clunky. sleek and sexy, if you will. I's also like to use while working out.
