Hey folks,
So after two and a half years, the battery on my Creative Zen Vision M is starting to get funky, not charging properly, etc. I may send it back to Creative Labs to get it replaced, but the cost may be prohibitive (if anyone knows anything about that, please let me know). So I'm thinking of just finally biting the damn bullet and getting an iPod classic. 160 GB of storage sounds fantastic, and after lots of aggravation using the XNJB homebrew app for my Zen, I'm ready for something that seamlessly integrates with my Macbook.
But the thing that steers me way, way, WAY far away from the iPod classic is the fact that I've always felt that iPods sound ****ing horrible. I don't know if it was the files, the DAC, or the headphones, but I've always hated the sound on iPods. Any thoughts on this? I haven't heard any of my files on the new players, so I'm curious what other people think about this.
