zen
my wedding gift to amanda was an orange creative 5gb zen micro with the wired remote and a line-in adapter for her jetta. something so she can take all her tunes with her wherever she goes, record classroom lectures and listen to them in the car (yeah, she wanted to do that..) and it’s small. amanda sized. it’s no larger than her cell phone.
i was going to take my laptop with me to mexico; to watch movies and mostly for listening to music. either on the plane or in the hotel room. however, i thought that insane the more i thought about it.
neither of us are fans of ipods. before we left, i picked up a creative zen touch, but i ended up being totally disgusted with it. rather large in size (xbox huge!,) couldn’t charge it from the USB port, menus weren’t intuitive, no flash-drive abilities, no fm, recording…definately older technology… so i took it back 12 hrs later. 😀
i returned it for a black 5gb zen micro… i didn’t need the wired remote and i already have a line-in adapter in my car. i’m not sure 5gb will be enough space for me, as i’m a music whore. although creative has another product called the ‘zen,’ which is a 20gb version of the micro but it hasn’t hit the US soil yet. if i outgrow 5gb, i’ll trade up to a 20gb. 🙂
i really like it. i’ll post a ‘review’ later.

i considered getting a creative zen 20gb mp3 player to replace the 5gb zen micro if i outgrow the space. […]
