I experience the whine when using my stock buds as well. It's only when the hard drive is being accessed, and not very noticeable. I don't hear it at all with any of my other headphones.

iPod minis do not come with an FM transmitter. That's an accessory you have to buy extra for any player (well, most- a few have them built directly into the player.)

You have always been able to adjust the sensitivity. There is a setting for Low, Medium, and High sensitivities.

The iPod mini is heavy when compared to the Neeon. The mini has a weight of 3.6 oz while the Neeon's is only 2.6 oz. That is extremely light for a hard drive player. The Zen Neeon is a mass storage device (like the Rio Carbon), meaning you just drag and drop music onto the player. You could...

I'd go for the Neeon. It looks like a nice little (actually really little) player from Creative. My only complaint would be that the screen is a little small, however from the pictures I've seen of it, it actually doesn't appear to be that bad.

I've had my Zen Micro since early December. I have yet to experience a single problem. I also have four friends that own Zen Micros, and none of them have experienced any problems either. There's a good chance that your Micro will be perfect.

I'm not a Neeon owner (there are very few), but I'd say go ahead and get it. It looks like a solid release from Creative- definitely promoting small, sleek, and stylish. It has all the same features as Zen Micro (minus removable battery), plus Line-In encoding and a 16 hour battery life- all in...

I never have to wait for 5-10 seconds. There is a little lag when switching songs, but certainly not that much. Have you tried a disk cleanup? Insert the battery while holding the power switch to the left. The recovery mode screen will come up. Scroll down and select "disk cleanup."

I've heard that the headphone jack issue is fixed, or rather manufactured so it's less likely to happen. I purchased my Micro in December and haven't had an issue yet.

I personally think it's a nice looking player without the stickers. It's also very small and sleek- compared to it's slightly fatter brother (Zen Micro). The whole "customization" thing from Creative may turn out to be a good move in the end though, you never know. For now I'd just take the...

Congratulations! Trust me, you have made the right choice. I've had my Micro since December and couldn't be happier. It's a great little player with powerful features, and you're going to love it.

Isn't the Zen Nano just a rename of the Creative MuVo Micro N200? I thought I heard that somewhere...

Oooh...I like that rhinoskin case.

You don't necessarily need to charge it for 14 hours the first time. However I would recommend discharging the battery, and then leaving it to charge all night sometime, to help to work in the battery.
