Page 1 of Has anyone got a Creative MP3 player or any other MP3 player?

Stuck at the minute as to whether to get a Creative Jukebox Nomad Zen (20gb) from ebuyer.co.uk. I`ve heard good any bad reports about it, bad reports particularly being that the battery is built in and isn`t replaceable, so after 1.5 to 2 years you have to chuck it in the bin...

Whether thats people exagerating(?) or not I don`t know, but I would appreciate some help from anybody who has got one. My brother has just got the top-end Minidisc Net player from Sony, which is a nice bit of kit, and I have thought about getting one of those.

I`m a little concerned the Jukebox Zen is going to be a little big to fit in the pocket, and that it might end up being a bit of a pain, but the fact that it holds around 5,000 songs on it, and considering I was lazy about recording new minidiscs with my last mini-disc player means the Zen keeps winning me over.

Has anybody got one of these, or any other MP3 player recommendations; or do you audio junkies have any good advice for me? I`ve been contemplating about getting one for ages, and I`ll have enough money for it in a couple of weeks finally...

I used a cd based IRIVER SLIM x350 which plays cd audio, mp3, wma and although its just slightly larger than a cd it is very slim - hence the name.

It is only about 1 cm deep and the sound quality is stunning, best i`ve heard on any portable player and its loud too - ideal if you have a cd burner, and the firmware is upgradeable with downloads from their website:-

is the link for my player, they do however have others, I can`t recommend this machine highly enough, maybe not what you are looking for but just thought I`d mention it.

It also has built in FM tuner and I bought it from here :-

I got my daughter a Freecom Beatman Flash 64, it`s a solid state player with 64mb or RAM built in and expandable via smartmedia. I listened to quite a few players and this one sounded the best, maybe due to the fact that you get a decent set of Koss headphones with the player. It`s teeny-weeny and you get around 10-11 hours of play from a bog standard AAA battery.

Cheers for your help guys, I`ll take a look!
