Creative Zen or Sansa Fuze

[AmberClad]

Alright, I'm having a hard time deciding between these two.

1) Creative Zen
2) SanDisk Sansa Fuse

Either way, I'll eventually be getting some SD or microSD expansion cards. My collection is only 13 gig or so anyway, so I don't need a massive amount of built-in capacity.

Right now, I think the edge goes to the Zen because:
- larger screen
- SDHC cards have a higher max capacity than microSHDCs
- the Zen has several more supported file formats

Anything I missed? Any owners care to comment?

Unless I am wrong, the Zen doesn't have the edge in the memory department because it only takes regular SD cards while the Fuze can accept MicroSDHC cards.

And actually, the Fuse supports more formats now because of Sansa's firmware updates.

New features:

*
FLAC codec for audio is now supported
*
OGG codec for audio is now supported
*
New Audible AAX format is now supported

So i'd get the Fuze, but I am a biased Sansa Clip owner.

Hmm, ok, good to know. Thanks :thumbsup:!

The .flac and .ogg support are big pluses in my book.

I have the zen, I really like it. the only problem being that it sees the SD card as seperate storage, and not continuous. I have the 8g version which is more than enough, but I wish i had gotten one with 16 or 32.

also, the mvie utility is a bit cumbersome, and you have to use it to get movies on to the zen.
