Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I was told by some annonymous person that I have no idea about thier technical knowledge that the Creative Zen MP3 player is good. Since I am have to young girls to consider the future Iiiiiiiiiiiiii don't think going out and buying one is in my future but you should have all the information you can get.

I just bought a Zen and love it. much better than iPod feature-wise. I recommend it. I looked at iRivers, but the Zen had more features than I wanted

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

I have a 5 GB h10, the hardware is very good, but the software is terrible. The player acts inconsistantly and there doesn't seem to be much logic behind the choices that were made. That said, it hasn't gotten in my way too much. Probably my biggest complain is the 6x FF which is way to slow to cue through long sets, while iPod apparently can tear through them.

The other drawback is that the US version is not a UMS device, but MTP and must be used with WMP10. That hasn't been a problem for me, but I would have liked if it was easier to use the device as a portable hard drive.

Here is an iriver forum, http://www.misticriver.net/forumdisplay.php?f=110 interetsingly, they just changed their template to a dark background too

I've said this a million times, but once more: if you care at all about periphials, especially car stereo integration, iPod KILLS EVERYTHING.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

No I was not drinking and I cannot spell and what business is it of yours if I was?

I am kidding. After reading my post I can see why you might think that.

Pickle, Creative good than? I might ask the wife to buy me one for the holiday at the end of December.

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

Can anyone point me in the direction of a place that can give me simple, easy to understand info on all these types of mp3 player. I'm definitely getting an mp3 player in early 2006, but am not sure on an ipod, iriver, zen etc. Havent a clue which is better etc.

All I want is a player that can hold loads of tracks, that I can hook up to play in my car, that I can transfer PC music files to and looks good. Not that bothered about price

Re: IPOD vs IRIVER

greg get an Ipod purely cause u can hold a fair amount of shit, buy an Idock for home and buyan itrip for ur car....

i mean i got a a creative zen micro last jan and it just doesnt hold enough tracks for me.. its only 5gig... gotta invest in a new one.

the iriver H10 is supposed to be good aswell.

I recommend it. The only thing about it that remotely bothers me is the sensitivity on it... other than that, the Zen had more & better features than the iPod and H10 that I compared it to. 5gb is really all you need. don't go for anything bigger
