I've got a little Samsung MP3 player and it's excellent. Never had a problem with it and it plays most formats. Who needs an iPod?

iPods suck because they can only be used with iTunes (or mp3s).

I have a Zen, and I use the Napster To-Go flatrate ... which means that for 15€/month I can listen to more than 2 million tracks. I wonder how much I would have to pay on iTunes to get 30-50 albums each month ... Wink

I had a 40Gig iPod for about a year and a half, though I should really say that I had 3 iPods for a year and a half because the damn thing broke twice in that amount of time.  The harddrive died finally when it was out of warranty, so I bought a Zen V plus and I love it.

I like my iPod, but it needs to be repaired, something is wrong with it (it stalls when I try to play a song, and now when I turn it on a picture of an iPod with a frown shows up and says it needs to be repaired).  By the way, if anyone knows how much repairs might cost, please tell me!

I'm an iPod guy myself.  My Video 60 gig has worked well so far, for about 2 years now, with only one glitch that took about 10 minutes to fix.

I've had both, and I like the iPod much better. The quality is so much better, and it's so much easier to use.

My Zen completely broke and was in other scenes very inconvient. I find the iPod to be much better quality and sound, with a better design as well

I've had my iPod for almost as long, and have had only minor glitches. Those are few, and just happened recently. I use it constantly as well. Have your friends been dropping theirs?

Personally, I cant stand ipods, because of so many sob stories of friends breaking them all the time such as: "I cant turn it off" "The touch pad dosnt work" and "the buttons dont work." I have had a ZEN sleek (20G) for two years, and it still works fine.
