Ways in which the Creative Zen I just picked up is already better than an iPod, and I haven't even done anything with it yet --

-- I spent $260 bucks on a 40-gig Zen, which is $240 less than I would have spent on an iPod.
-- It's got a removable battery, so this way, if it runs out, I can just go to Best Buy and pick up another one.
-- It comes with a leather carrying case. (Hear that, Apple? And it doesn't get scratches straight out of the box like it's made out of butter and Play-Doh, either!)
-- It smells like new mp3 player.

Oh, please, please live up to my current state of raptute when I actually turn you on and upload songs onto you tonight. *cuddles*

I had an Archos jukebox most of last year. Only cost $150 for a 20 gig hard drive.

Suddenly died a few days ago when I went to plug it in. Worst piece of electronics I have ever owned. Ever.

Hopefully the Zen's don't have those issues.

I thought about gettinga replacemtn, but my Axim pretty much took over for me.

Oh gods, I had one of those, too. One of the really old ones where playlists couldn't be more than 999 songs (because I had all my songs sorted into directories and it didn't have a "play all" option), and it took over a minute for that to get loaded.

It just died for no reason one day. Just wouldn't start up. Thankful that that hunkajunk is gone now.
