Snap! I don't know if it's because I wear them when I'm on my bike, but I'm nearly on my third pair too! I've been able to get free replacements thus far...

i'm getting a brand spankeling new laptop soon (for absolutely nothing!) and am super mega amazingly excited about buying myself a iPod. cant wait. did i mention i'm super mega excited?

oh, and do you guys know if my headphones (big tdk ones i bought) will drain my ipods battery? i've heard it might so i thought i should ask

Creative Zens are awkward and cumbersome. No MP3 player is as functional as the iPod.

the creative zen 'micro' is smaller and has more features than the ipod mini, more battery life, also has more space and all for less money.
and has beaten it in many awards and reviews.

that was what I was comparing.

If its good enough for Bill Gates it's good enough for me!

Well to be fair, size isn't an issue. I hardly know I have my iPod with me so having a smaller device with more features that I'll never use doesn't make it better.

As for battery life, mine lasts as long as I need it to and I put in on charge every night anyway. So it doesn't really pose a problem for me.

iPods are more expensive but they're going to be for the simple fact that they've got a patented click wheel and it's microsoft. It does it's job.

Awards mean nothing really.

creative zens are just better in nearly all ways. the only thing that ipods do better is look better.

Creative Zens don't play back the music in some ultra exclusive format that the iPod doesn't have.

I've heard music on the best quality from both and the iPod was exactly the same if not slightly better. Zens sounded less human.

-AC

actually teh sound quality is better on zens, they have a better sound range than ipods. another thing ipod is better at is marketing. you can defend ipods all you want, but the facts are against you.

Whenever I'm not using my iPod it's charging. That damn thing was my lifesaver when I was on vacation; it would last up to 12 hours without having to be charged.

I like my iPod and I have no intention of replacing it, unless it broke, in which case I'd prolly get another iPod. I simply like them a lot.

On a friend's Zen I listened to some of the same songs as I have on my iPod and they sounded exactly the same.

Like I said before, the sound quality - factually better or not (remember you can alter the quality on an iPod) - isn't better by a large enough level to say that one of the players is worth buying more so than the others. I prefer my iPod because I'm used to it and I got it before all these new ones started coming out.

Most people compare Zen to iPod standard level. iPod on highest quality is one of the highest qualities of audio playback. So the Zen being that smidgen more clearer or whatever doesn't make any difference because I've listened to both and it's not even detectable.

-AC

then if htey are so close in level, then it is even more reason to buy the creative - it's about $100 cheaper.

I get mine discount, hence why I buy them.

-AC

Mine was a gift and I sure as hell wasn't going to turn it down as I had wanted one for a while anyway.

so that comment uis more for people who are deciding which to buy: buy a creative. as AC said, they are just about the same in quality as an ipod. I think they're better, but whatever.

Wait, why are we still talking about Ipods?

It's pointless trying to argue anything with AC as he always has to be right 🙄
so I'd just give up in knowing your right... and let him believe he is.

One of my friends had a Creative Zen, dropped it on accident, and that was the end of it...I've dropped my iPod several times and all that's happened is it's gotten scratched.
I dropped my Creative Zen Xtra and it's fine 😬

Why does everyone on this forum uphold the delusion that I feel I have to be right? I don't, YOU clearly think that.

If you can prove wrong what I've said, go for it. If not, stop making it out as though you could but you choose not to.
