Hi!
I'm buying a new mp3 player and I don't know which one to pick. Zen micro is the cheapest but it's quite fat (19mm). So.. which one should i pick?

I have an iRiver ihp-120, and I can say that is has been absolutely 100% outstanding, really good battery life, sound, functions etc. I presume this carries on with the h10!

Dont know much about creatives, ipods are nice but the itunes software is a complete shambles, but alternatives can be found.

The Creative Zen Micro has a difficult UI, or so I've heard. A friend of mine had one and he had a hard time learning the UI. Haven't tried one for my self though...
My GF has an Ipod Mini and although you've got Itunes she loves it. Really easy to use etc. I've got 20GB Ipod and I'm also very happy... extremely easy UI and the click wheel is fantastic :D Both of them are highly recommended...

TRicks.

itunes is excellent and easy to use benji, i have 4th gen 20gb ipod click wheel and its great. get one if u can stretch ur budget, if not ipod minis are also quite good, best colour is green then blue.

if ur a real money spender, get a 60gb ipod photo

The Creative beats the iPod completely feature-wise, but the mini looks much better.
I'd go for the iPod though, 'cause it's just so gorgeous.:)

Oh what the heck, CREATIVE RULES.
Must support my home-grown brand.:D

Don't be too quick to rule out iRiver based on others posts! They are sheer quality! :D

if not ipod minis are also quite good,
The Ipod mini is the same as the 4G Ipod, except for the size, HD size and shape. IMO, the Ipod Mini looks better with its rounded edges and frosted metallic look. The backside on a normal Ipod is totally worthless. Shiny metal which attracts fingerprints... not their smartest move!

I can recommend the mini, lovely little unit. Tough too, mines so battered now I'm surprised it works.
Creative ones never seem that good when I try them, don't feel as good or work as well as the iPods. I've not had a proper go with and iRiver so can't comment.
