I had been planning on ditching my iPod Nano for a non-iPod device for some time now and last week I managed to lose it and had the excus to get something else. I'm not realy an iPod hater but my wife was using a Creative device and as I am the more technologically flexible one I figured I would change. Buying music at two online stores with mutully exclusive DRM was also becoming problematic.

So, after first ordering a Samsung device that I discovered wouldn't play my Audible files I ordered up a Creative Zen 8GB. So far I like it at least as well a my old 2GB iPod nano. Among my favorite new features: FM radio, Shuffles within a playlist, SD Card slot, and recording capability. Admittidly, it is somewhat bigger than the old or new nano but is still smaller than a full sized iPod.

So now I'm Apple free! [Party]

I know, its not much of a hit but I'm happy to get out from their extremely restrictive DRM.

I've had a Creative Zen 20 Gig for about three years now. It's the best MP3 player I've ever had. I say you've made a good choice, I hope you'll be happy with it.

I hear a lot of praise of the Zen series. Congratulations on your new precious. [Smile]

I'm finding that the one downside to a non-iPod device is the relative lack of accessories. I'm still in search of a good case with a belt clip for running but as I seem to have seriously jammed my big toe I'm not running right now so I have some time to look [Smile]

Doesn't the Itunes store have DRM-free music now?
