Mp3 player help!

[igloo15]

I can't spend more then like 210 dollars but I need an mp3 player that holds lots of music I have about 4 gbs of music I will prolly have to put on it now. I would also like to store other files like pictures or short clips on it. I don't care much about a color screen but I would like to be able to play playlists on the mp3 player. A long battery life is also important. Other then that I could care less about the extra features. If anyone can recommend an mp3 player for me that would be great!

You could get a Zen Xtra 40GB player or a Dell DJ20 (2nd generation) 20GB player for about that much.

Well which in your opinion would be better.

His opinion only matters but so much, since you'll be the one buying. Take a look at some reviews (I like cNet) and see what you think.

Yeah I was just wondering if he owned one or not some of the people or reviews sites just post but have never owned one but I will check it out.

about the jukebox zen I really like it but I heard disturbing things about it some said you couldn't play playlists on it and another said that there was no stop button for stopping the music. Is this true?

 

[BlueWeasel]

I've actually owned both. I got the Zen Xtra first, but just didn't like the scrollwheel on the side. It has support for playlists and stopping the music is as easy as hitting pause, and then the back button.

I sold the 40GB Zen and picked the Dell 20gb player. I much prefer the front barrel wheel on the Dell compared to the Zen player. The interfaces are nearly identical, as they both use the same Creative firmware.
