i need some opinions... I currently have a Creative Zen Xtra 30Gb... When i bought it in May 2005, the guy reccomended buying the extended replacement warrenty and then no matter if something was wrong or not, exchange it for a new one towards the end of the warrenty period. so i went for it intending to do this all along. however, the Xtra is no longer sold (? and even if it is, its not sold at best buy anymore). From what i've been told, i can go to best buy and get the cost of the player towards another player (since they dont carry it)...
Problem is... the Xtra (although i wish it supported some kind of lossless) is such a great box! the replaceable battery means you could keep it going forever and i just recently discovered that it uses a standard 2.5" hard drive... so i would be dropping in an 80Gb drive if i kept it... but still... i have the option of getting something new that would support lossless.
So heres the 2 questions...
1. Should i keep the creative or trade up for a new player?
2. Regardless of answer 1, what would be a good Mp3 player? (I want lossless support and it has to have adjustable EQ... which rules out the iPod, unless the Rockbox mod adds EQ)
