Which mp3 player would you choose?

I definitely don't want an Ipod because I've seen how easily it gets scratched and how you need to have iTunes for anything. Right now I have two choices pending. I am going to only get one of them. I can't choose between the Sony Walkman Core and the Zen Vision M. The Zen Vision M has the pictures and video compatibility but all I really need is music. So I am just wondering what do you think? Go for the more portable or the more feature list. Any other great mp3 players you guys know of? Price should be about no more than $350.

-Thanx

Ive got the walkman core NW-E507, its really good.... awesome battery life, fm radio, very compact... the only downside is the space... 1GB isnt really enough but it should hold me for awhile. More space is a good thing so id say go with the zen :blink:

then zen looks really nice

Looks aren't everything. :dry:

i think i'd go with the zen, for the record FM and divx support

Whoa I didn't know it supported Divx, yea the sony is really sleek and looks insane. But I think the Zen has more value for the money. Like more space, videos, photos, and all that.

Thanks for the opinions!

That's not true. i use winamp to copy music to my iPod.

there are many programs that you can use instead of iTunes.


iPods don't get 'scratches' faster then any other mp3 player with a display :huh:

My friends got a nano and hes had it for maybe less then a month and its scratched to fuck :cry:

go for the sony compact, trust me, i got a 80GB aigo monstrously huge HD mp3 player and i hate it.

:D the network walkman?

From what I've seen regarding choices out there, to buy an Ipod at this point would be incredibly stupid.

It is not the best in feature set nor price. It is best in popularity, availability of legal audio/video downloads, and accesories from different manufacturers.

I haven't had the chance yet but I think I'm going to get a Creative Zen. Model is undecided.

Not necessarily. Some surfaces are damaged easily and others not. The Nano is known to be easily scratched.

well... i had ipod nano with 2 gb space... i loved it :rolleyes: .....but it was stolen :frusty: :angry: :cry: ....i think that ipod is the best with theyr quality...and if you care for it it doesn't get scratched..

i have an ipod nano 4GB and im happy. I could use itunes if i want or like 100 of other programs that are out for it.

But if your not getting an ipod get the creative or check out iriver

If I were you, don't get the Creative Zen M. Worst mistake of my life. Less than a month and it's already broken and I had to RMA it :dry:

Keep in mind that I had to pay Canadian currency for this, and I bought it off of eBay (which really pissed me off cuz i had to pay 90 dollars in import fees alone)

Lots of issues involving the Hard drive it uses, have a look around the Creative forums before you make your decision. But also keep in mind, eveyrthing has a flaw.

^^ that sucks. SO i guess just check out iriver.

You should have gotten it in the usa and then took it to canada sneakly

I'm sure the interface has had no effect whatsoever in it's use.

Ya, I did a lot of research (apparently not enough) before buying the Zen, and at one point I was ready to buy the iRiver PMC-120, but changed my mind when I saw the prices listed on eBay.

And I bought my Zen from eBay from Ohio (shipped).

I have an iriver h320 which I would reccommend if you can find one cheap. I would suggest getting something other than an ipod though... my friend bought one and sold it a month later because of its bugginess, etc.
