I know, I know! You guys want to hear a bad IPOd thread.. well no. My zen has been shot =( Its had nothing but good care and know its dead. Im going to send her in for the warranty and hopefully i get a better one.

Whats wrong with it?:
The earphones jack is shorted out.. every set of headphones sound bad. (common problem for the zen micro)

Now today it freezes up @ the "creative logo" GOSHHH! I thought this was better than the ipod!

My co-worker's Zen died on her and since the store she bought it at didn't have a replacement on-hand, she was able to pay the difference & pick up an iPod Photo! :Q

Interesting...almost along the lines of:

"The windshield wiper on my Hyundai Elantra broke. Since the dealer didn't have another one in stock he told me "Give me twenty bucks and your car and you can have the Mercedes 600SL over there."" :D
