c_michiels Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have been debating between a SanDisk Sansa mp3,video,photo 4GB or higher and an iPod nano, but now that I have seen the Creative Zen 8GB in the CC ad and the RCA 5GB in the WM ad I don't know which route to go. I'd love some advice to help make my decision. Thanks so Much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicMama Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm think I'm getting my daughter the Creative Zen 8gb, even though she wanted the Zen Vision M (for twice the price and she doesn't really need the video). It's small in size but powerful in features. And there are accessories and cases on ebay and the creative site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgemonster Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I went through this last year looking for an mp3 player for my son. I talked to someone at Best Buy and was told that the Creative Zen's were the easiest to use and better than alot of other players. I bought a 20 gb Zen Sleek for my husband and 30 gb Zen media player for my son and have not had a problem with either. They really are very easy to use. I can use them and I don't know much!

krisgermain Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 In order of best MP3 player first: Microsoft ZuneCreative Vision: MCreative ZenRCAI've been looking at the Zen and have not read much about the Zune. Do you think the Zune will hold up, being the first production for Microsoft? I'm just worried about being their guinea pig in trying out their first venture into MP3 players. I'm also curious to compare the Creative Zen & the Vision:M. Any place on line that compares the two?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediBaja Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The Creative ZMP and Vision: M are kinda two different animals. I like dapreview.com (dap - digital audio player), they review a lot of different players. They haven't reviewed the Zune yet, but offer links to a bunch of others for now. Also cnet is a good place to get info on any types of electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything on there is never beter than the Ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannon91c Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 My daughter got the 4gb RCA Lyra for Christmas last year and she loved it, easy to use but it broke. It no longer works and she was very careful with it. It is still covered by warranty but by the time I mail it in etc it will be cheaper to just get a new one on BF.

Jumped on it because it was such a great deal. Daughter will be happy, I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.feature Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 In order of best MP3 player first: Microsoft ZuneCreative Vision: MCreative ZenRCAI'd say thats very wrong. Firstly the Zune isn't even out. And hasn't been properly reviewed or tested and the reviews that have been done place it below the ipod. Second i would place most iriver models above the creative, altough the Vision is nice. And lastly. Despite whatever you my have against the ipod. It is still the best player bar none.
