Zune or ipod?

Consider Creative Zen or IRiver Clix as well.

I'm very happy with Creative Zen's Sleek Photo 20GB. It has taken a pounding over thousands of hours and the battery still last for a solid 12 hours. The Ipod peeps I know always marvel at the battery life. Whatever you do; be sure and invest in some decent ear buds at the same time. A must have if you like some bass with your music. The included sets are all crap. I've tried several and prefer Sony's "High Performance MDR-EX51LP". I think they were about $40 bucks at Wal-Mart. There are much higher end buds out there, but I haven't tried them so I couldn't say if they're worth the dough.

I also like Creative Zen very much, just got my new Edit [Moderator]: Link removed for only $120, Sound quality, excellent, I'm no audiophile or music snob, but it sounds pretty good on the included Creative headphones. I'm totally satisfied with it.

Love love love my Creative Zen. Thanks to JoeNation for bringing it to my atttention.
