iPod or Zen?

R1CH: I made this exact thread in a different message board a month ago. My final decision: Zen Vision:M.

Reasons:
1. More crisp screen
2. Higher decibels
3. Sound recorder (spying rules)
4. FM radio
5. Great video playback and conversion program (needed if file doesnt match with player well)
6. Ability to, while on "RANDOM PLAY ALL" mode, click two times to load the folder that the song that's playing is in (unlike ipod).
7. Battery Power Better

DOWNSIDE - Had to buy the A/V cord online because most stores seem to only care about ipod accessories.

DOESN'T MATTER (To me) - No itunes-like service. I steal my music. I don't need a service.

So how is it workin for ya so far?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The back button simply goes back to the most recent menu or folder you were in. But clicking the middle button once will take the current playing song to the 5 star rating system and hitting it once more will automatically load the folder that the song is in so I can browse and click some other cool song from that album.

The other way to do it is hit back and goto "ALBUMS" and i find (on my own) the album of the song that's playing. I dislike doing that while driving my car.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
