Pros: Easy to Use, Gorgeous Colors, Yahoo Music

Cons: Battery Life - But I Use the Skip Feature A Lot

I love my Zen Micro (I have the Micro Photo). It is, hands down, a much better product than any Apple product out there. I used to own an IPod and, for all of you who have owed an IPod I am sure you can relate, it broke. Every single person I know wh...o has an IPod is on their second or third. They all seem to break or have some problem. A bit suspicious if you ask me. The whole IPod thing is a scam to me. They have fooled the nation, maybe even the world. I can see no benefit to any Apple product in comparison to Creative's. They are, relatively speaking, a small company in California and I am glad to have supported them rather than Apple. My Zen is super easy to use, I can subscribe to Yahoo Music (or any other type) for like $15 a month and get all the songs I want. Quite a deal. Of course, you cannot use Yahoo Music with an IPod, just another way for Apple to get people to shell their hard earned dollars. I could go on and on about how much I love my Zen. It has a radio and 32 stations you can preset. You can record off the radio, which is great because you can be listening and record a song you like and, voila, free music. Read more Less
