Sony 4gb or Creative Labs Zen????

Dec 19, 2008 9:58PM PST

I have narrowed my choices down to the 4gb Sony Walkman or Creative Labs Zen mp3 player. Both are very similar with the biggest difference being the screen size whereas the sony is 2.0 and the Zen is 2.5. Both of the mp3 players do have FM tuners. I think I'm leaning more towards the Sony...is the the right choice? It's a gift for my husband and I really have no knowledge of mp3 players!

I go Creative

In the last 4 years I've only had Creative MP3's and all have been great. I use them when I DJ, at work or just around the house, always dependable. The current one I have is 2 years old and working just fine.

My two cents.
LG

Recently i ran across a sweet deal on a creative zen stone at frys. It is a mock of the i pod shuffle except it has fm radio a memo recorder and a memo screen.
The player works great with windows media the play list i already have and was up and running after being charged in just a few hours. I loaded the player easily as well. It also comes with a usb charger
My previous experience was with sandisk. When the san disk works they are a great very easy to use player.
So delighted with creative i plan to get a larger one with sd slot as well to see how videos and pictures do
