Michael Hardman Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Really cant decide what one to buy, Im not getitng an Ipod as there a fashion item and are crap. I just need to decide whether i really need 20k of songs of if 2.5k will be enough. The micro is only 3 by 2inchs in size as big as my phone. I can get the micro in any colour aswell, (black, white, pink, dark blue, light blue, orange, green, silver etc......) Link to all the colours http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search...0867175-9044608 Edited March 2, 2005 by Michael Hardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Zen Touch feels tacky and plastic-y. ← Id rather that than something that seizes to work when the battery dies. Sorry but apple should be sued for a breech of trading standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I like the way that they've completely kicked the ipod mini for touch with all the features- 50% longer battery life, easily replaceable battery, more choice of colours (I think!) 1,250 songs (83 hours) at 128 kbps is more than enough and the all important thing is the size really if the other boxes are ticked (Y) Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 2500 songs actually, it compresses better than an ipod ← No it doesn't. They both use the same compression (MP3) really. Unless you're a loser and you use wma (Zen) or AAC (iPod). Just go on size (MB) and the Micro wins. Listening at 64kbps on wma would be shit, to be honest. Wma is all shitty and crackly at the best of times. Just use MP3 (Y) Picture The Micro is very nice if you only need 5GB. I think they have a radio and some other good stuff. They're cool. However, they are more expensive than the 30GB version of the Zen Xtra, which is pretty stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never find 2500 songs to store so it will do me and i can use it to store my uni work on which is useful Ive bought 2 one in black and one in silver impulse buyer or what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well how does the zen 20gb store more than the 20gb i pod ← Because it compresses it more. People who go by the "number of songs" it can hold should be shot. Actually, that's a bit extreme, people are just ignorant and being fed shit by Apple/Creative/Sony etc. If you use 64kbps wma, yes, you can store twice as many songs as at 128kbps MP3. It'll sound shit though. Seeing as everyone just uses MP3 anyway, just go by the size. Right click your music folder and go properties. Find out how much is there. See if it'll fit. Anyway, it's too late, you've already bought it. I think that's the right choice though. But why did you get 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swize Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I would say the 5gb one because to br fair not many people can listen to 20gb of songs "i think" Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 24GB on mine at the moment, but that includes nearly all my CDs. I like having all my music on it, so I can play any song I'm thinking of (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
