"San Disk, Creative, or Ipod?"
Pros: SIZE, Sound Quality, itunes interface, Bright display, great battery life
Cons: Not as many song options as I'd like.
Summary: I did a lot of research, and tried to get away from all the ipod junkies. I bought the creative zen because I use media player a lot. After a week, I knew I needed a switch. My friend bought the San Disk 8gb, I was considering that as well.
I picked up the nano, 8gb, what a great player! I'm a really picky tech guy as well, if I don't like it, it goes back to the store.
After attempting to find a better song interface, I came back to Itunes. The most popular downloads make it very simple to find the songs you are looking for. I really don't agree with the AAC encoding, I think a consumer should be able to download just an MP3 format instead of going through the hoops of transferring through so many hoops.
Back to the player. It's sleek, great sound, better than zen and san disk. It's worth the money. If you are wavering, my vote is the ipod nanoUpdated
By the way, I did a test run with my friend's san disk and the ipod. Ipod was significantly clearer, even though the san disk display is quite cool. If you are going for sound quality, nano.
