So I had a Sansa e280 MP3 player and it was cool for the most part. Good battery life, but the buttons were kind of small, and the scroll wheel had some issues. Recently the audio jack screwed up, and you have to pull the headphones plug a certain direction to get audio out of both ears. I had a 3rd party warranty and they are gonna send me a check for what I paid for it off E-Bay.

So, I'm looking at getting a replacement. I'm looking at the Creative Zen either the 8gig or the 16 gig. I only use these things for music, mostly at the gym. Never for video. Anyone own one of these? I've heard issues about it blanking out with a white screen, is that common?

Here's a link to it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16855102035



I'm sure damn near everyone here has an MP3 player of some sort. I've seen the IPod Touch, and although its pretty cool, I don't think I want an IPOD. I had one of the older mini's and the battery wouldn't hold much of a charge after about a year. Plus not being able to share your music with other people sucked.

So any suggestions would be sweet. Thx.

-Cheap.
-Flash.
-Battery life (upto 50 hours!).
-pretty easy to handle.
-Great Sound quality.
-some Vid and pic viewing if you really want it.

Hmm...read a bunch of reviews on that one. Seems pretty good. Only thing that kinda sucks I guess it seems to be pretty thick. Have you used yours for a long while? Is it durable enough you think for the gym?


Also, some reviews said the controls were a bit weird at first. Do they work good in your opinion?

Trying to decide between the Iaudio7 and the Creative Zen. Both are supposed to have great sound quality, but I think the Iaudio7's is better.

I had a 60GB Zen Touch, its stirdy and held out for 2 years until I dropped it a few too many times and it died.

I don't actually own it, i own a Zen (MicroPhoto that is).

I just saw a ton of videos and reviews about it and it seems like the best player for music at a low price.

Anyway, its Flash so i think you will have no problems in the gym with it, Usually HD based players cause all the trounle on the move.
