what do you guys think of the Creative Zen (8GB) ?

hi,

my birthday is in 11 days, and I know my dad ordered a 8GB version

I whas wondering if anyone has the same MP3(4?) player and what you think of it

and how does it do against the Ipod ?

thanks

edit: they also talk about 4/8/16 gig, do you get a 4/8/16 gig flashdrive, or are these gigs implanted in the MP3 ?

creative makes the best mp3 players on the market today.

anyone that says ipods are better are retarded. creative won a suit against apple in which it was determined that apple stole creative patents... millions of dollars awarded to creative.

if apple steals from them to make their ipods, i'd assume that would mean creative does what they do very well.

Good brand choice...is that the model that uses memory cards?

I know apple took out a load of patents which were'nt theres to make but I didnt know they were sued over them... do you have articles or something?

Eh, 8GB isn't nearly enough.Manly-manly-man

It goes up to 32 gigs actually.

I'd say this is a pretty weak argument (i prefer Creative, yes, but Apple does what it does very well in the world of MP3 players, better then any other company to date, no one has been able to dethrone the ipod)

Yes, the Zen comes in different sizes, you got the 8gig version, so it is going to have an 8gig flash drive inside, you cannot upgrade this to the 16 (i beleive Creative has some units that have SD expansion slots, but that's beside the point, i don't think the Zen does)

The Zen is a very nice player (i'd like to get my hands on the recently announced 32gig Zen)

I don't think they've launched the 32gig yet, have they? (at least not in North America?)

The Zen Does have a SD Slot, thats the main draw of it. All models of the Zen have it.

cheers :D so they came to an egrement by the looks of it instead :P

It's the sturdiest thing I own, I've dropped it down flights of stairs and it still works also it record a really funny LAN party with it's record feature.Juggernaut140

I dropped my Zune on the carpet and it broke :cry:

I love mine, beautiful screen (looks awesome after i put in a costum background) and sound quality is great.

Only real annoyance is that the SD slot isn't fully integrated with the player, meaning that when you play something from the memory card, it stops other music, you can't play both music from the player's HDD and the memory card in one playlist for example. It is quite annoying but the player overall rocks, I like that you can record with it but the fm receiver is useless to me because there's only crappy radio stations where I live.

The Zen doesn't have an HDD, it's flashbased....

You knew your dad ordered a MP3 player?? tha's not asurprise!!

Creative Zens are way too damn thick. It would be like carrying a box or something. That's the main reason why I went with a Zune 80. Oh not to mention all the reviews praising it.Ilived

You are thinking of the old versions, were talking about the new ones...

meh, i prefer the zune. the zen has a lot of software problems with it, and it isnt user-friendly. Putzwapputzen

Have you actually used one? There's nothing wrong with it...
