Standard question about best mp3 to buy

ronano · 2007-03-25 01:11:44

My ipod died recently,i've got between 130 - 200 euro to spend and would like a durable mp3 player around the 4 gig mark. I don't care for video/radio just a something that will last and won't give hassle. I'd prefer to buy offline Ideas?

Creative Zen V Plus 4gb.

Currently Reduced in Xtravision to 165e from 190. Link Here
You may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere though.

Got one for my father at Christmas, small and decent player. He hasn't had any trouble with it anyways.

It's also pretty easy and cheap to buy a nice cover for it on ebay - silicon ones are around 7e including postage.

Hope that helps.

The Zen Plus 4GB is currently mispriced in Power City. It says €159.99 on the shelf but the price at the till is €129.99..... it's also the same on the website.

From this thread [Linky]

Seems like a very good deal for the Zen (V) plus 4GB. Also, if you do get one, check out Creative's website one for a free Zen V Armband. [Linky]

I could have sworn i replied to this thread af ew minutes ago. I bought the recommended 4gb zen in xtravision at the surprising price of 130 euro. Time will tell if it's durable but so far i'm in love with it. Nice and small and appears durable and i've away from the dreaded itunes programme

Thank you all and yay a wrist thingybob for free
