The age old question: iPod or Zen?

[blah]

So post away. I'll give my argument once someone else starts this baby. ;D

[*Mello*]

I'd vote.... but I've never had either of them so I honestly can't say! Usually, I'm near a stereo, cd player, or computer, so they take care of all my music playing needs.

Only because it rocks...

I vote iPod. I've used Zens and they're cool, but iPod just rocks. It's sleek, it's the original, it holds so much crap (I use about 1/3 of my 30 gigs, I have Lost and anime episodes on there! ) plus they just lowered the price tag, so now you can get a 80 gig dirt cheap (for a music player ), so now you can get even more space for even less...plus, can you buy DharmaSkin for Zen? No, I didn't think so! iPod always has owned and always will own the digital music player competiton. They hit the market first and they hit it right.

iPods are nice, it's what I first owned, the old 20GB B&W ones, I've had so many issues with it which started to make me hate it. Then my parents got me a new 30GB video just for the hell of it, I never asked for a new one so I handed the old one to my brother. I havent had problems with the video one yet. Still I imagine I will at some point since it is an iPod and I would doubt anyone here uses them as much as I do on a daily basis. And Yet I don't hear near as many problems with the Zen.... So as time progresses Ive kinda been leaning closer and closer to the Zen, so I would give the slight nudge to the Zen but not by much as I found the Zen's interface not too difficult to grasp either. I sorta with the Ipod had radio for it without an attachment like the Zen, that's sorta a setback. And I would love to stray away from itunes for once, it takes so much of your memory usage when it's been open for a long period of time in a quick like manner....

Actually, you don't hear about problems with the zen because not as many people have them. Strange; I use my iPod on a daily basis, and have never had a problem with it at all. And what's the need for a radio? It's hardly ever used. What reason would you have to listen to the radio when you have commercial and static-free music? I've owned an mp3 player that had radio, recorded radio, line-in, and recorded line-in also. Not once did I use either. Why? Maybe because I already had my music on there...which made the radio feature useless. But generic music-player brands like to add it on for a reason: They just want to sell their product for more. Having that extra feature boosts the cost.

I've used generics, zens, and iPods. And by far, Apple gave me what I wanted, unlike the others. When it comes to them, there's just no contest.

I can see that, If I were in the same position where I had everything that I listen to on the radio then I wouldn't need it. But then again I do love to listen for chances to win prizes, ex. concert tickets. I also love to hear of new groups as a local station around here does new music every day, most of which of bands that arent even that popular. In any case, radio isn't so much a need but something, like in my case, would be a nice feature to have. I mean then it'd be there when you want it. If you wouldn't use it then don't, it's just that simple. I've got a large number of friends who own a zen and a different number who own an iPod, but still I've heard more complaints over the iPod then Zen, including my own problems

Thanks for telling me what to do, but I'm not complaining it's there at all. This is an argument. I was merely explaining why it's pretty much an unuseful feature. If I want to listen to the radio at all, I'll listen to the radio, but not by the piece of crap with a short antennae, more like a stereo, or my car.

I'm sorry there was no intention for an argument. All that I basically said is that there are people to which the feature would be useful to, you aparently not one of them. I got to thinking, you know with how popular the iPod is, even if they included a radio feature built in and bumped the price up 25 dollars max, I still think it would still sell a lot compared to any other player.

*lets not argue over this next statement*
like I said I have or had no intention to make an argument but when you make a topic on which is better there's a tendency to happen.

Ummm, wake up. This is an argument. I can't believe you honestly came into this thread and didn't expect one, as that was the entire purpose of making it: for people to argue over which they like better, throwing around opinions, and tabbing the pluses and minuses of each.
