OK, this is a thread of mourning. My Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20GB, has finally bit the dust. I will be able to retrieve all the data from it, but it now takes 4 minutes to load up, and every thing it does comes with a lot of hard drive clicking. So I must bid my fathful little player a fond farewell, and apologize for the couple of times I cursed at it, because it really didn't deserve it, it was that bastard Creative's fault.
I'm never buying Creative again, my shitty $10 MP3-CD players lasted longer than this thing! I'm not buying into Apple either, it's too rich for my blood and my computer HATES iTunes.
I wanted an iRiver or an Archos, but the closest store near me only sells the $300 model, which is way more than I can afford.
So I'm thinking of going with the Microsoft Zune, my friend had one at work, looks pretty sweet. Nice screen, 10GB more than my last player, haven't exactly listened to much beyond a demo at a Target one time.
Also, there's a port of Rockbox in the works for this, unlike my Zen.
What's the audio quality like, and the battery life? Keep in mind, I'm either getting the plain black or the plain red one, f*ck these content-packed color scheme editions.
What do you think? Buy the Zune or hold out for something else? If worse comes to worse, I still have my PSP to play MP3s, but I really like carrying around my entire library, so please help me out here! ^_^
