Ok, here is the deal. I've been working and saving all my money because I hope to buy a car after I graduate which is in June. I've been wanting a new mp3 player for some time now and I have narrowed it down to the Zen Micro. I'm having a debate whether or not I should actually buy it because I do want a car. So can you guys convince me to get it, say, how are the features, is it worth the money, etc.. Any help is greatly appreciated. I do plan on buying it, but I just want a little more information before I make it final.

Also, which version should I get? 4gb or 5gb? I'm leaning towards the 4gb but with the 5, you get some accessories that could come in handy. I don't know which one to choose!

Again, any help is greatly appreciated. ;)

That is just way too much for me. The Zen Micro is perfect for me, price wise.

Um.. I have owned a Zen Micro 5GB (RED) and it was a good player for awhile but than it broke down on me.. The headphone jack problem came into effect, than the battery got all stupid and wouldn't work anymore after I turned it off and I would have to charge again.

If your looking for a good player, you said the zen micro was $179.99.

Instead, in my opinion go for the sansa e260.. It's 4GB and it's perfect for you, I think, haha. It has Photo/Video/Music. Excellent player. I recently bought it from bestbuy about 3 days ago and I am loving it!! Well the sound quality isn't as great as the zen micro but the interface, scroll wheel, photos, etc. are excellent. Easy to use too.

Well I hope you give the sansa e260 a look.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
