New MP3 Player?

Well, my old mp3 player died on me, and I need another one.

I don't need much space, and I like a smaller, more reliable mp3 player.

I've been thinking about the 4 GB Creative Zen because it has a SD card slot, and I have many, many SD cards.

It also seems to be fairly good from the reviews.

Note: No, I will not buy overpriced iPods.

Edit: I do plan to put some SC highlight movies, and that kind of thing.

I would get 1 of those 40$ small as fuck ones which just plays music and stores like 500 songs or something, which just clips onto ur belt or w/e

those kick ass

8gig Zen is a better purchase. It costs so little more and has twice the storage, i have it and i'm REALLY satisfied.

The creative zen aurvana earphones rule with it, i'm using bass boost and rock EQ and it sounds amazing.

Well, budget is a factor, and I do have enough SD cards around. Not sure I'll need 4 GB of extra space.

If it matters, for the zen the SD card slot isn't integrated into the library, so you'll have to separately access it on the player.

I recently got one of the new A Series from Sony but I was more music focused and not too caring about the video aspect. If the Sony store didn't screw up and charge me $30 less than it should've cost, I probably would've gotten a Zen.

get the juke.
phone + mp3 player.
plus u can get it for free (aka 35$ tax).

it's 2 gigs, but if u don't necessarily have to be spoiled with relaly relaly good gizmos, it's a really good deal. $35 for a phone + mp3player. course not everyone might like it, but it works well for me.

Yeah, I plan on storing all my music on the hard drive of the mp3 and put misc crap on the SD cards.

A series seems a bit more expensive, and I can't remember the last time I trusted Sony with anything other than a PS2

@above: I'm not going to switch phone companies for a mp3 player =p

Damn the Cowon is expensive.

I like the Zen V Plus though, I think it might be a good mp3 player for me =o

I will second the creative zen 8gb, I am extremely satisfied with the sound quality, video clarity, and overall product.

Hm, I saw some bad reviews about the Creative Zen's screen after prolonged use =/. It's still my top choice though.
