    My pocket only has 200$, and these two fit that price.

    Some of you guys are probably saying, well duh, get the 8 gig one. But the Nano is much more popular and it's weight/size/design is better... and chicks will probably dig it and ask to listen to it.

    Then some of you guys are probably saying, well it looks like I've already made up my mind so why am I posting it here? Well, I just want some feedback.

    Also are there any other mp3 player I haven't heard of (Price around 200$ only please)? Please post it here.

    I would say 8Gig... though I am an avid iPod user.

    My coworker bought the Zen one and had a LOT of issues with it after she did a software update. Apparently it is a known issue. She returned it and got an iPod.

    Look at the Apple refurbished page... I've bought from here without any problems... plus they have free shipping.

    Looks like they have some decent deals...

    I've got a 40 gig Zen Xtra and haven't had a single problem with it in almst two years. It's a litle bigger, but I'd like it ALOT better than comparable iPods. My friends who have iPods even like it better. If you go with Creative, use Red Chair software.

    Have you attracted any chicks with it?

    Btw, I plan on using this mp3 player for working out, looking cool when I'm walking around, jogging, etc.

    No, but if you're relying on an iPod to get you chicks, my guess is that you're pretty hopeless in the first place.

    since when did an ipod become a pick up line?

    "Hey there, would you like my Ipod in your ear?" :confused:

    I've had the MicroPhoto for 8 months now and have had no problems with it. I'd highly recommend it.

    Spend the extra $50 and get the 4gb nano, you'll be happy you did.

    I'm in the market for an mp3 player, but have looked at mp3 players that have an FM tuner with it. I must have that. any suggestions on which way to go? Im thinking about spending 300 bucks.

    Yeah! That's the one, I'm deciding between that or the 2 gig Ipod nano. Do you use any case for it and anything to hold it with while you're working out or jogging?

    I recently got a 1 GB Creative Zen Nano for a little over $60. I'm very happy with the purchase. It's very small and sleek (about the size of two pocket memory sticks put side by side). It comes with an arm band, so you can go jogging with it even if you don't have pockets. The only complaint I have is the headphone isn't so great, but I have my own.

    McGrady... In fact, a girl has asked me about it while I was using the treadmill the other day if that interests you.

    It holds twice as much music. You'd be surprised at the difference. My wife has the 2GB version, and can't put everything on it that she'd like. My daughter has the 4GB, and when my wife went to DC for several days on business, she borrowed it and put a bunch of stuff on it that she wishes she could fit on the 2GB.

    I've got the 60GB Ipod. I love it, and just keep pumpin' albums into the thing. No worries! :cool:

    I already have the 512 MB Creative Zen Nano. I'm looking for an upgrade from that, and I don't think 1 GB is enough.
