If you had a choice which player would you pick? I am going to pick up a 30GB player this weekend but haven't yet decided on which one yet. I have been leaning towards the Vision M so far but if anyone has had any experience with either I would like to hear about it.

out of those choices, the Vision. The Zune really is turd-tastic.

I haven't used the Zune, but the Creative players nowadays are pretty decent. A 'far cry' from their first MP3 proudct, the 'Nomad Jukebox'. Although I still have and use mine on occasion. I've also got a Zen micro.

Hopefully you can get some more feedback on this.

I accept and use their products, but I'm philosophically opposed to giving Microsoft any more money than absolutely necessary.

Which is why those MS employee contacts come in so handy.

I ended up getting the Vision M yesterday. I found it locally for a really good price of $199.88. I will end up using a portable amp with it and some iGrados. This will be my portable set up.
