Big Hunk of Music Player for $150!
Well, Creative Zen dropped the price of their 8 GB music player to $150, the same price as the 4 GB iPod Nano, yet which one should you get? Pretty obvious choice here, the Zen has a bigger screen, more memory, an expandable memory slot, longer battery life on music, and pretty much everything the iPod has, except for one thing; iTunes. While it’s not ALL about iTunes, it does make it a bit of a harder sell. Now that I’ve moved to mac, iTunes has become my hub for music, video, and podcasts. Not necessarily because I purchase songs online (I usually prefer a physical format), but because everything is already in there, and instead of pressing sync, I’d have to drag everything into the folder on the desktop. If I was going to get one of the two, I’d probably choose the Zen, but I’m also wondering what everyone else thinks, so give me a comment, and tell me what you’d use.
