I traded my rio riot in for this machine, and am VERY happy that I did. I have tried every mp3 jukebox, including the Ipod and this is my favorite. The Zen has the best sound quality of any mp3 jukebox. it has a signal to noise ratio of 98. And you can hear it. Wonderful sound! Lots of effects and EQ settings as well. Battery life is excellent, finding songs is a breeze, and the scroll wheel works better than any other unit. I bought mine for 255 dollars online, so there are some great deals out there.One hint: Invest the 25$ in Notmad, a third party software bundle. The software included for txferring files is very unpleasant.

I have max'd out the drive by putting in all my cds and downloads. There are so many good things to say about the Zen. I can take my entire music collection with me, anywhere I go. Technology is great!

This machine is awsome, the fact that i can store all 1600 songs from my comp and still have 11GB left for storage makes me feel like this purchase was well worth it. i also love how easy it is to categorize my music. Great MP3 player, i reccomend it to everyone.

I used that Archos 20 for about 15 days before it died. Then I called Best Buy and they wanted to have nothing to do with me, so I returned it and called some other places. I called Tweeder. They do not even sell this mp3 player, but they told me it was the best one that they have seen, so I walked next door and bought one. I have had it now for about a month and it does not skip. At All!!! It is fast, it does not stall, the display is easy to read. It is the Bomb.
