Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners MP3 Player question

Yeah, I just picked up the 4mb sansa today for $99. Had the Zen V plus in my hand and it felt great, was smaller and lighter and my intuition said to pay the extra $30 for it despite the joystick fears.....but when I saw the 90 day limited warranty on the package I got scared.

Did the joystick break on you within the 90 day period??

I wondered about the joystick on the new ones. My older Zen is a vertical touch bar rip off of the IPOD touch wheel. Works well.

I'm glad this was mentioned because I really want one to upgrade to something with a lot more memory in the distant future. I'm buying more music than ever now and of even more varieties than before.

I'm also not a fan of the tiny nub mice built into laptop keyboards. I'd call it what it is less than affectionately nicknamed by many around here, but it's too crude for this board.

No. Paid a bit for the service from Creative, don't remember how much. $25? I'm just guessing.

The new "Zen" - not "Zen V" - looks like a better designed product from the durability standpoint. I'd get it in a heartbeat if I was on the market for a new player now. The Zen V, being phased out, is considerably cheaper right now, though.

Yeah, I played around with a Zen in store and really liked it. Kind of want something compact that you can put in an armband to run with.

It was $50 more for the same 4 meg and I really dont need the video screen though. Still havent taken my sansa out of the box though.

For a running MP3 player, I really like my iPod shuffle (metallic one). I don't think I've charged it in about 2 months.

Looks like Creative Zen Stone is also a cheap solution.

I like my Creative Muvo (really old one) because it's drag/drop for music. No software required.

Looks like the Creative Zen V plus went on sale for $79. I think for that $$ I'm gonna take back my Sansa and get it. Just something about it that I liked....despite the joystick.
