Sad

My trusty (six? year old) Creative Zen-Vision:M is dying, the random crashes that have plagued it (previously brought on by cold weather, but now just by the player moving when I move) have increased in frequency and it's getting harder to use. Sad

The trouble is, I do a lot of work and things outside, and therefore my requirements are a little... odd. My Zen, being a large, well constructed brick, has survived:

6 drops down my stairs (OK, this is more my clumsiness...),
A drop into the bath (accidental) whilst operating,
A drop onto a tiled floor from at least 4'
and exposure to farm enviroments (lots of rain, shit and animals trying to eat it, or tread on it etc).

Before I start: Apple IPods are too flimsy, and I dislike I-Tunes, and I want to be able to assemble WMD with my media player if I so choose... etc - No Apple products please.

1) Durability, my new player needs to be tough. Recheck the list of what my Zen has survived, size and weight aren't really concerns, I'm used to my Zen.

2) Stability, if it's HDD based, then it needs to be able to tolerate operating shocks, my car has no suspension, I'll be riding horses soon etc

3) Battery life.

4) Capacity, I only need ~8 GB, so this doesn't have to be huge.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Please note I live in the UK. I'm not too bothered about brand, but I will reiterate my personal issue with Apple.

Any suggestions?

I'd let you off of that if it PRODUCED FUCKING USEFUL RESULTS. You're on thin ice.

On topic:
I was simply wondering whether anyone had any testimonials, that's all.

I'll check out Sandisk.

what is wrong with that reply?

Can you not read his first statement to you? Did you even check the results for the search that did? None on the first page are even useful. Most on the first page aren't even related to his situation or what you typed for the search.

I also find it funny when someone posts one of those links. Obviously, if someone is asking for advice here (or anywhere), they don't give a crap for Google results.


When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
