Creative Jukebox Zen MP3 player

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

My mate has one of
thesee and says it's really good. I've had a go on
it and it's pretty intuitive...

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!
