Device: Creative mp3 player
so?

Not Crap.

I purchased a 20 gig Zen back when the iPod maxed out there and saved myself $200. I don't think any iPods of that generation are still running whereas my Zen still is.

I had the original. A whopping 16MB. I added a memory chip to give me 32MB. I haven't owned once since.

I have to say that I haven't found a newer mp3 device that can match the ergonomic functionality of the clickwheel.

EDIT: I forgot - I had the Zen for a bit. The display went out - did this on a friend of mine's as well. Returned it to Buy.com just before the 30 day return window and got an Ipod mini.

My experience with the Zen... Crap.

ok, so I just got a Creative Zen 1gb and the quality is pretty good. But the downside of it is that the wire earphone is so damn crappy.

I used to have one. It was pretty decent, and a lot less expensive than an iPod.

When I bought a new mp3 player a few years back, I got an iPod because it had the largest storage capacity by far.

But yeah, Zens are pretty good devices too.

I have a Muvo 1 GB. I sort of want it to break so I could buy a bigger one (retarded, I know) but this thing refuses to break in any significant way (I can live with a crack on a screen which contradicts everything I read about Muvo players.

Thing I really like is batteries life. I remember being surprised by how a single AAA battery lasts.

NOT CRAP.


Oh, and the headphones are always CRAP. Mine cost more than the player, but it's well worth to spend more than $20 on them. Difference in sound is amazing.

As I said in the metrosexual iPod thread, my first serious mp3 player was a 60gb Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. Had it for like three years. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like "iPod", but it was a workmanlike, stable piece of player and could be counted on for good times. It now belongs to my Dad after he gave me an 80gb Zune for my birthday. That Zune currently has a fractured screen and possibly a broken hard drive, so that just goes to show how durable the Creative player was as opposed to that all-polish no-padding Zune.

My real first mp3 player was a Creative 64mb NomadII with a little microphone. Everything that was recorded through it always sounded a little fuzzy. I enjoyed it.

Not Crap.

not crap. i had a little creative 1g mp3 player. worked great. i lost it a month ago. plan to buy a creative zen soon.

Not Crap. I have the 30GB vision M (these seem to have disappeared from the market, btw) and it's fantastic. Only downside is that it's frozen ~5 times in total since I've had it (well over a year). If they made them USB mass storage devices then they'd be onto a total winner.
