MP3 Players > Creative Technology MP3 Players > 70 GBP to 139 GBP

Advantages: Headphones, 10,000 Songs, Easy To Upload Music.
Disadvantages: Does Not Have Video (It would not let me put not applicable)

This creative zen is extremely reliable, compared to the i-pods. I was given this as a gift a couple of years ago for christmas, and has never given me any trouble whatsoever. My friend, however, has had 3 i-pods in 2 years, and my creative zen has no signs of giving up yet! The only thing that lets the mp3 down is the fact that its quite big compared to the newer styles, however, the fact that it can hold up to 10,000 songs makes up for this!!! ...
...that uploading music onto the Creative Zen is very difficult and confusing, I actually find it a very simple task. After recently trying to put music onto my siblings i-pod, I realised how confusing they can be, and if my Creative Zen were ever to break I would definately invest in another Creative. The headphones are fantastic quality, and I still have not replaced them after two years. Even if I were to replace them they would not cost £25 like ... Read review

I am IN LOVE with my Zen Micro. With more room than an iPod, and the capability to record both FM Radio and voices/songs etc, this is one of the best MP3 players out there. Basically the only thing I can think of that the Zen hasn't got but the iPod has is games, but the games on the iPod aren't that good anyway.

Advantages: The clip feature and sound quality.
Disadvantages: Not many features

I love my ipod shuffle. I do have an ipod nano as well, but I find that i'm using the shuffle more and more over the nano. Firstly I find that the size and design of the shuffle (clip feature) is far more useful than the nano, it means you don't have to worry about having a pocket to put it in and is particularly useful for situations like the gym. You also don't have to worry about the screen getting scratched as obviously there isn't one! The ...
...it needs recharging. I paid £22 for mine off bigpockets when they were selling all the old models off cheaper which is no doubt an absolute bargain. I also feel that the sound quality is as good as all the other Ipod types. The choice of colours is also good so you can pick one to suit your style. The thing with the shuffle is you obviously don't know what song is going to come next, so I make sure that I only put my favourite songs on it in groups ... Read review
