Creative Zen Nano Plus

[r988]

Anyone got one of these? Thinking of updating my old mp3 player, this seems to fit the bill . I make do with 128mb at the moment so 1Gb should be more than enough storage capacity.

How about the 1gig iPod Nano?

FWIW, I've had my Creative Zen 20Gb just over a week so far, and I'm chuffed to bits with it. Holds my entire (non-classical) CD collection, seems robust enough, easy to work, once I'd got the hang of the slidey thing (*). The PC software's crap, although it worked well enough to copy my already-ripped CD collection (took about 5 hours for 17Gb). (Oh, and it ripped Goldfrapp's "Supernature" when CDex just hung.) You can get some better software from www.redchairsoftware.com/notmad/ which makes Creative players work the way they should - just appear as another disk drive.

(* Because it's so sensitive, your initial response is to press more lightly, which is the exact opposite of what's required - set the sensitivity to low and slide your finger *firmly* down the control.)

And I've just ordered the wired remote, so I don't have to keep taking it out of my pocket to adjust the volume.
