MP3 Player confusion...

[manohartvs]

I am looking to buy a 30 gig player.

iPod 30 gig black or Creative Zen Vision M.
I can get the iPod for $269.
Creative costs $300.

I like the iPod because it simply looks better. I like the Creative because of its features.

Has anyone had a problem with the Creative?
HELP!!

If you buy and download music off iTunes, your only bet really is the iPod. If you don't, its a toss up b/t which you like better.

you can get Creative's for under 299, look in the hot deals section or slickdeals

I have the vision m and its great. Divx and xvid are awesome, battery life is better than the ipods. Then again i will never buy an Apple product. Reviews prove that Creative's is top choice, unless your very very picky of the size.

I really don't care if this is a bit bigger. This is my first MP3 player...so I want it to be a good one.

What software does it use to move files. Can you easily remove/rearrange files on the player?

...and look where it got you. Clearly the smart answer is to go for apple.

it uses creative's software to move back and forth, just a explorer add on for xp. This player uses a microsoft protocol i believe. I have vista installed and you dont need a driver or any software, just picks up like a usb drive.
