I have an older gen 2? mini. Battery doesn't last that long anymore, but I haven't used it in months.

I don't have an ipod, but I have an old 30GB Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra(circa 2004)
It's big, ugly, and it plays music.

These are better than ipods in IMO because you can download any song's you have in your library....we bought my daughter a new ipod and could only put music on it from the ipod pay site and from store bought cd's ...:banghead:

I bought a refurbished sansa from tigerdirect for Can$50 - figuring if i dropped it while riding, i wouldn't be that upset. It has 4GB built in and a microSD slot that I have an extra 4GB card in. With Rockbox installed (alternative firmware) I can even watch movies on it (not while riding though)

I find it hard to push the buttons with my gloves on, but otherwise - works great.

I haven't tried an ipod - but i would think it would be even more difficult with gloves on.

You can't transfer regular old MP3's to it?

I have never, and will never, buy an Apple product.

I have always bought Creative MP3 players because they have more features, better compatibility(more codecs) and are usually cheaper than ipods.

I don't use the I-Pod. I use Creative Labs. Like the EQ and features. It's just drag N drop in fact once I needed to transport a file home and used it as a flash drive. It doesn't care.....

Not to continue a zombie thread, but Gelvatron, did you realize that the thread is almost 3 years old?
