Should I get a Zen X-fi?

Question

I saw someone suggest getting one and it looks really cool.

8 GB: http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=17810&&wt.cg_n=campaigns&wt.mc_id=15688

16 GB: http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=17811&wt.cg_n=campaigns&wt.mc_id=15689

I think the 16 GB would probably be the better buy, and I also found it on buy.com for $175. I'm mainly going to be using it during cardio and strength training, but I would also use the video feature when I'm out in the car or something. Also, one important question, is it easy to put songs on it? I mean, my bros can just put them on right through wmp. My mom has an ipod and she says she has to go through itunes. She says the only way to get music on there without buying it is through a cd. Even if this is because she just doesn't know what she is doing, I'm still not getting an ipod. Also how easy is it to get video on it. I don't really know much about mp3 players because all I have is a psp.

Is there anything else I should look at for comparison?

Answer 1

i actually just got the zen x-fi a day ago. its really nice. its small and doesnt weight much. putting in the music is really easy, you can just drag and drop. i also HATEEE itunes and i refuse to buy an ipod. for the videos, im still trying to figure out how to put them in. i reallly love the speaker too! the internet in it is nonsense though, its pretty useless. I think its a pretty good deal for 16 gigs. Good luck with your decision! (oh yea, the headphones are good :D)

Answer 2

yeah, whatever you do, don't buy an iPod

take a look at these samsung mp3 players, they are really nice!
