| 709344 | 2008-10-03 04:20:00 | A lot of it depends on the quality of the source (i.e. bitrate etc), but even with that and the headphones being the same, I can easily tell the difference between my $20 iPod knockoff, and my $300 Creative Zen. My audiophile friend would only touch 2 - one of the Creative Zens and Ipods. There is a massive difference in the audio range they reproduce and these were the only 2 he would have anything to do with. Creative Zens (www.noelleeming.co.nz) are what I was considering to be one of the lower priced MP3 players. Is that one junk compared to the $300 version? Do Creative Zens require their own software similar to iTunes to load music onto it or can you just use drag and drop? |

Only ipod requires some sort of software to load music onto it All creative players can let you drag and drop Even sony lets you drag and drop now and got rid of their sonicstage Zen Stone Plus is a relatively good player.If your not fussy on features and just want a mp3 player with good sound then zen stone plus is quite alright If you have the money you can always invest on a Creative Zen X-FI so you can watch videos |

| 709346 | 2008-10-03 04:32:00 | Not really interested in watching videos, hence the interest in cheaper players. What I would like is reasonably good sound, a screen to see what is playing and for easy menu navigation and view lyrics on, if possible and good battery life. A radio would be good too. |

| 709347 | 2008-10-03 04:51:00 | Go for the 8Gb Creative Zen (www.digirama.co.nz) - excellent sound quality, great clear screen, easy menu's, radio and good battery life. And they look cool too. I payed $100 more than that for mine, and it was still good value IMHO As mentioned before, don't bother with the newer X-fi ones |

| 709350 | 2008-10-03 06:56:00 | True the original Creative Zen would be a better choice | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
| 709351 | 2008-10-03 20:37:00 | Go for the 8Gb Creative Zen (www.digirama.co.nz) Did you purchase from that site? Are they reputable? Their price for that one is around $100 less than Noel Leeming, etc. |

| 709352 | 2008-10-03 22:14:00 | Audio * Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz Most don't go so low Frequency response isnt the the only thing to look at when buying mp3 player.Most mp3 players have the same frequency but they all sound different in some way |
