I am deciding, and there has been talk bout both players in the forum....which would you choose?

i guess the iriver is winning....wait for viewing videos, what do you need?

iRiver by far man, read my review: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=282047&st=0

Maybe cause I own one, or maybe cause it's just that good

Ive had a lot of problems with my Zen Touch...had to send it to creative twice now. I wouldnt go for it...but maybe im the only whos having problems.

nice!

if you want to know about the iRiver just msn me or something, or direct your questions to me on here

also my review--.. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=104&t=266710

the later pages get into skinning, firmware, and video coding.

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?

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.

I would say the iRiver as well

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

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

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.

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?


EDIT: uhhhhhhhh i cant decide.........the zen touch keeps calling me back

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

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

yea i am, but dont worry tis legit, i got my free ipod a while back and hated it, and returned iit

lol, you spoiled brat!!!

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)

okay.................but that zen touch is callin me for some reason.................but w/e



...







OKAY IM GOIN WITH THE IRIVER. END OF STORY.

very good choice my friend, you will be pleased.

yea, im gunna custom order it through no referral links here, please


changed my mind about mp3players4free im now doin this one ^^^

I returned my H320. I had updated it with the Korean firmware and yes it does play movies at low framerate. Why would u pay $500 CDN for a device that only plays music? You can get a damn nice pda for that amount which does so much more. i never really understood why people spend all that money and all they get at the end of the day is a music player (the iRiver was really good though). I mean, yeah, i loved it cuz it sounded amazingly and for viewing photos it was awesome but I thought more about the money i spent on it and came to the conclusion that it wasnt worth it. Out of the 2 i would definitely say iriver! The screen is amongst the best I have seen. It is sharp and crisp and displays pictures very nicely. Overall an amazing mp3 player. Though for me it didnt work out.

I tried it at the store on the iriver H10 and my thumb started hurting after like 6 seconds of scrolling. The ipod is by far the best in scrolling with the click wheel! The rest are junk!

I'd go with the iRiver.

Since I own an iRiver, I would go with the H320 over the Zen

Althought I think you should buy it, those free site things arent reliable and take ages.
