"I didn't want to give in, but WOW"
Pros: Amazin' sound, simple to use, feather light, bright screen, good battery life
Cons: might feel might feel too light for some(I feel that if I drop it it might shatter into pieces) Black smudges easy, but it's easy to clean
Summary: I had a Dell DJ Pocket before this and it was great. The problem is that the volume button broke... So I had the difficult task of finding a new MP# player, since Dell doesn't sell the DJ anymore and my warrenty finished.
The search. I actually bought 2 MP3 players before getting this one, but they didn't work too well because they work with programs that i needed to update, but I wasn't able to. Out of the two the Creative Zen Micro was the best. It has great sound quality so if anyone is looking for somethig other than an iPod (like I was) go for Creative.
The answer. After not being able to use both player with my computer I had to get an iPod. This is one spunky player. I'm happy that it is flash because towards the end of my DJ's life it started skipping frequently. The screen is bright and can be used as a photo viewer. The sound quality blew me away. The bass is very rich (I listen to a lot of latin music which is rich with bass) and everything is clear. The menu is very easy to use, unlike the Toshiba Gigabeat, which I had for a few days. It's light, so it might feel delicate to some people. It also smudges easily, but it's easy to clean. So, as a few final words, I really hate going with the latest trends, but for this one time I'll go with it. If you want an alternative go with the Creative Zen Micro one of the only players that can actually rival this one.
