Zen touch, definately. Amazing player. You may want to wait for the "Zen"... the new 20gb creative are bringing out which is basically a sized up version of their micros.

Sound Quality: Zen

Best Drivers: iRiver

Interface: Both could be improved on

The iriver has a color screen and is more customizeable but the Zen has better sound.

You can use the app my friend wrote for me for encoding the videos to work on the H3XX. It's as simple to use as you can imagine.

It's called Easyriver and you can get it at

If you use it and like it, leave a message in the forums to let him know.

Both are excellent DAPs.

It comes down to price vs. picture/video playback, which is more important to you?

[macman87]

As I have said in other threads, I would go for the Zen mainly cause of its user interface. Sure the iRiver has a colour one, but the touch pad on the Zen is much better than button pushing.

[HilariousNinja]

I would say the iRiver as well

[colebsmooth]

well its not really price, cuz im getting it at a free site, it just comes down to which is the better player?

[Guest]

In that case, the Zen Touch. How come you are getting it at a free site?

Ok, then it's Sound Quality/EAX vs. Picture/Video playback, better navigation and more features.

I'd say the Hxxx, since price isn't a problem. Lucky b*stard :D

[Enrickey]

You also have to remember that the sound quality on the Zen may be better, but as soon as you use Ogg Vorbis, the sound quality on the iRiver will become much. much better than that of the Zen.

[colebsmooth]

im getting it at this site: no referral links here, please ... cuz im poor eheh, any ways, i think i will order the iriver, but whats the hxxx? is that whats on the site? :wacko:

You're "ordering" it from a pyramid-scheme site????? :/ :/ :/

Hxxx = H320 or H340, and the one on the site is a H320.

[colebsmooth]

I never thought those kind of website would work.

Anyway, you should order H320 because it's simply better in every way. (screen, codec support, etc)

[colebsmooth]

OKAY IM GOIN WITH THE IRIVER. END OF STORY.
