Here's the deal. I need a new MP3 player. My old one was a Creative zen v plus 4 gigs. I had it for about 2 years no major issues.
I enjoyed it mainly because I could just drag and drop music on the device with ease. It was like a jump drive only for music.
Now I'm looking for more space and pretty much the same idea of drag and drop.
I really don't want to be dependent upon software like iTunes or whatever program the Zune uses.
However, I want the best my money can buy and to think about the future of the device. I'm not really into buying a new player every year. Storage space is also an issue.
Here are my top 3 choices:
Ipod 16 gig touch 2nd Generation
Price $299.99
Creative Zen 16 gig
Price $129.99
Creative Zen Vision M 30 gig (refurbished)
Price $99.99
The iPod has some great features other than music playback but I don't like the need to be connected to iTunes in order to add music. The online web surfing, youtube, downloading of apps and the eye candy the device has is so nice...
Creative Zen 16 gig is nice since it's small I can drop and drag music but the lack of Creative support in terms of the SD card worries me.
Creative Vision M is nice because it's 30 gigs, drop and drag, and only cost $99 bucks. My own beef is that it's refurbished and Creative only has a 90 day warranty with no extension. It's also as is so if it comes scratched up...oh well.
This will be used mainly for music but video might be nice as well is web surfing which Ipod only offers.
Any advice, or feedback would be much appreciated as many of your already own or have owned these products.
Thanks in advance...
