I am not really sure though, I have the Creative MuVo N200 and I'm generally pleased with the player. I do have some gripes though, the battery cover is very flimsy, especially the tab (1mm) that keeps it closed, don't drop it because it may cause the tab to break on the battery cap and you'll have to keep it closed with a rubber band, or request/buy another form Creative. The sound quality is very good, but upgrade the firmware when you get it. The FM radio is good, but the attenna is the headphones. Which ever player you get, replace the headphones. Creative renamed the MuVo N200 to the Zen Nano Plus, the only difference is that N200 comes with a very useful armband for gym use, and the Zen Nano Plus comes with a lame neckband. Try Walmart.com for the N200. As for the Samsung, I have seen it, it's small, has a radio, and I think comes with a neckband as well, but I think the battery cover is a little more sturdy. Can't go wrong with either. Try before you buy though. Hope this helps.
