Well, i need to buy a new mp3 player, since my samsung p2 let up on me a bit ago, they seem to have a probloem with the headphone jack after some use, as iam not the only one i know who has had the exact problem, so what do i get now?

I want something with at least 8gb capacity, and at least a 2 and a half inch screen. audio quality is a must, and an eq should be onboard. i need help deciding, thanks.

Either way it's disposable technology.

Had my iPod(30 gb video) for over 2 years and have had no problems with it. Very user friendly as well.

Zune? Personal bias I guess. I stay away from anything Apple, and the Zune does have more features. Both are a safe bet if you want features, but if you don't need all that and don't want to be restricted by software and copyrights, I'd go for a Zen.

Are you aware of the recycling system we've set in place? That wasn't the point.

Hmmm... i wouldn't get an ipod nano because the new ones r just so stupid. They are like some half-a** attempt at making a video friendly flash player. I dont know, they just make me mad when i see them. I would get an ipod just because Creative has really dropped the ball and the Zune doesn't even have an EQ. Your hand is kind of forced. Ipod Touches and Ipod Classics are cool. Hope this helps.

i know they are the same thing,

just a title for some people to actually post.

i have crossed of the ipod nano, and the zen (used to have it before the samsung) the zune and ipod touch seem appealing, the zune has no web browser, which i would use. the itouch ius a little pricey too.

also i have noticed my local bestbuy had 4 zunes on display. 2 displayed a constant picture (one preoloaded) which i was told couldnt be fixed when i asked employees, another was bricked and wouldnt turn on.

only 1 worked, which really makes me think twice about it.

ive had my Zune 80gig since it came out and ive personally had no problems with it, the only problem i have with the zune is that it has no EQ, but the sound is prettyy balanced out and its okay, but an EQ would be nice.

If you want space go with the iPod. I used to use mp3 players until my music grew past 4gb. I got my first iPod last Christmas, it's an 80gb classic. Couldn't live with out it now :) I'd recommend forking out a lot for the best, there's no point in an 8gb iPod that plays videos. I've got loads of DVDs, music and college work on my iPod and it's not even clipped the space left :)
