iPod v. Nomad

[Craig23]

I remember a thread a little while back, which I actually can't find, that had information about the pros and cons of the iPod. The thread eventually evolved to talking about the Nomad Zen. Nomad now has a fairly new 60 gig model for a pretty good price.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any new thoughts on the Zen player?

I love my 40gb Nomad. I've had no problems so far (after 7 months).

Before I purchased it, I read that Creative had some issues with warranties, and it was recommended that I purchase the supplemental warranty that merchants offer. So for under $300, I have the player and the extended warranty.

I bought mine in June. The battery can't hold a charge anymore.

Wow! Mine's fine.

When I got it - 7, 8 hours. Now: maybe an hour.

I guess I'll spring for a new battery after new years.

Love my 30GB Zen xtra...in part because it isn't the ubiquitous iPod. Lots of good deals on the Creative these days. $175 or so will get you a 30GB. Compare that to the Apple price.

The iRiver is the one to get...

(7/4, thanks for the link to the original thread)

I was mainly looking at the price between iPod and Nomad as the main factor between looking at the two of those. iRiver is about the same price for same storage size as the iPod. What do you like about the iRiver?

File type support!

So can the ipod.

The ipod only supports mp3s and wavs. Not good enough.

And it supports AAC, AIFF, and Audible.
