I'm not sure if this has been done before - I used the search function (I really did!) and couldn't find anything.

Alright. After being sooo old school for all those years and still putting trust in my good old discman, I thought that it was time to finally buy this little fellaw.

Not a high-end player, but I'm happy with it. The capacity is ok, the headphones have a very clear sound - although more bass would be welcome - and, yes... I don't really miss constantly changing cds when sitting in the train :wink:

Next one.

Sweet. Looks cool.

We splashed out on mp3 players a couple of months ago and haven't looked back. I've thought about saving my pennies and getting some kick-arse phones to go with mine, but the buds do an ok job for now.

The thing I like is how all my favourite music is with me everywhere I go... something my old discman could just never do. Nothing kills time like a bit of Gojira or Mastodon (or Dev... hehe!) in your ears.

How many songs can you fit onto it (I'm assuming you got the 1 GB version)?

Same thing for me - it's really cool to have this variety and to be able to follow your mood changes musically.

1 GB it is. Let me see... Right now I've got 126 tracks on it, including quite some longer tracks and usually recorded with 192 kbits/s or more. Oh... and thanks for reminding me of Gojira :wink:

I know, and that's why I was even more surprised how good mine sounded. I'm planing to buy new ones in the near future, but since the ones I have right now are much better than expected, I don't have to hurry.

I need a new one, the part of mine with the controls and the display is broken. I was thinking of buying a Creative Zen 4GB something something, but I need to know if it uses software to load MP3s to it or just 'drag and drop'.

And I got some excellent headphones with my Sony-Ericsson phone. Block out all the sound of the surroundings and has a very clear sound and great bass, they keep surprising me. Too bad the chord is insanely short (about 10cm from the jack to the point where it splits).

Yep, they look a bit like those. I bought some of the same kind from Philips tho, and they're not quite as good. But they came with a jack-extension chord so I can use that with the SE earbuds! :D

i have a LG pendrive which plays mp3, and it was the best acquisition i ever made!
It was quite cheap (about 70 dollars), came with very good earphones, 1gb, 10 hour battery, recharges in 2 hours.

i can't live without it anymore :oops:

I've dropped mine a couple of times (4th gen monochome screen) and it's fine.

My friends Zen stopped working out of the blue a month after he bought it. He still had his warranty at the time so he tried to get it fixed/replaced. I don't really remember what happened but he said Creative's customer service was horrible, and never did get it fixed.

I got a free nano a while ago, and despite being rather sceptical about the ipods, I've been very imperssed. It's really easy to use, and after buying it a case, I don't have to worry about it as much. I think its probably safe to say that all the brands are pretty much comparable in terms of all having their pros and cons

Was it ipod or creative? I have a creative zen nano plus and some more cool words. When I broke it, I took it to the shop where it was bought. They just threw it to trashcan and gave me a new one.
