Wich one should i choose?Creative or Teac?

Nov 2, 2005 10:11PM PST

I really need help, and fast. in two days time i am going to the store to buy a 512 mb mp3 player. but i am in serious doubt. i don't know if i should get the creative MuVo V200 or the Teac MP200. the thing is that the teac has line in recording, 4 line OLED display, remote control (this is not that important), hold button (creative don't have that, that s a big minus). on the otherside, the creative has the retractable usb port. teac has a cable in the package but the usb port is not ''thumbdrive'' and it s not even protected! The teac is much more cheaper, it's 30 $ less. but should i trust Teac? i know that creative are good but i don't know nothing about teac. please tell me what to do. i'm desperate

I bought the creative player for my uncle and he hasnt been a day without it. he really likes the user-replaceable battery and battery life, and the FM radio is surprisingly clear. I got a hands-on test and I really liked it myself. Besides, i dont know where you're going to find support for that no-name teac brand.

hope that helped Silly
