"THE BEST media player: Better than iPod and Zune"
Pros: Huge (4.3"), high res (480*272) screen, Excellent-sounding earbuds, 60GB, comes with a case, basic USB cable used, easy to use, great samples given...
Cons: Its pretty big and bulky (60GB), fragile LCD
Summary: In my opinion, a Creative Labs player is the best choice in terms of quality because this company has been making high-end (like their E-MU series) sound cards for computers since the 1970's. In addition to this basic brand-based logic, the screen is bigger than that of the Zune and the iPod and it plays basically any format. What's not to love?
P.S. The Zune only rips music at a maximum of 192 KB/s, while the iPods and Creative Zens go all the way up to 320 KB/s. Also, with this Zen, there is no need to stick some rare and expensive USB contraption (like in an iPod and Zune): it just uses a normal USB 2.0 cable to share files.

PC sound cards since the 1970's??? Did they also invent a time machine?

Compared to what, exactly? I would reckon that LCD screens are fragile by nature. Put a BSE (www.bestskinsever.com) on it to ensure protection.
