Forgive my foolishness!

I bought the Creative Zen Vision 16Gb because I decided to get the hump with Sony..........mistake. SQ is nowhere near Sony SQ. It has to 'boot up' from cold taking up to 30 seconds, unlike my A805 which is almost instant. And worse of all it has crashed at least twice in the past week requiring a frantic search for a pin or needle to reset it.

For video playback all of my MP4's have to be converted to AVI before the Zen will play them. Now I'm kicking myself for having the bravery to try a different DAP manufacturer.

Oooh - I had the Zen Vision: M for a few weeks many months ago - software was corrupted and kept crashing all the time. Horrendous.

And SQ was not a patch on the Sony. That's one reason why I didn't get the 16GB flash version (because I didn't trust Creative to improve the SQ like Sony do)

I know what you mean about having the bravery to try another dap - whatever Sony does 'wrong' - it's never an SQ issue, and that's the main thing.

I just ordered a Zune, having got bored waiting for Sony to release a 16GB - and I'm still a bit anxious about how I'm going to like the sound on it.

I blame Sony for spoiling me for SQ!
