Does anyone own a creative jukebox zen mp3 player (20gb)?
I'm contemplating buying one and was just wondering what people think of them - or other creative jukebox mp3 players for that matter

It is ugly, but it's very small (not like the cd player sized MP3 jukebox!) and incredibly robust. Those blue corner bits help it survive bumps and falls.

Oooh, pretty! That looks really nice. I haven't seen that particular model before. Looks more like an ipod :)

yeah i think thats what they were going for... but its slightly larger than an ipod, has a smaller screen than in ipod, is heaver than an ipod, has less features than an ipod.....
but apparently the sound quality is better than an ipod!

I'd get the Archos Mp3 player. It has a mic/line-in input and 20gb drive.

I've been after one of these(Nomad Zen) little babies for months now!
Amazon have it for about £288 (worth checking the reviews also).
I've seen it in my local 'Dixons'.It's about the same size as the Archos,but I believe the Archos(well some models)records yer analogue material directly onto the HD to be converted to MP3.(Damn ugly though it is!)
Am looking on E-Bay as well.

New Ipods are rumoured to be just around the corner so should be discounts on the current models...Zens seem pretty cool, but Ipods go that extra-mile with the UI & design and are smaller/more pocket-friendly; normally about 100 quid more than a Zen but these new models might well change that...
I think they are more or less the same as the current (some minor UI/case changes) & just have 15GB & 30GB instead of 10 & 20...
worth bearing in mind...
(picture below for those who haven't seen a Zen...)..

yeah at the moment you have to pay about £400 to get the 20gb ipod, lets hope that price comes down!
