creative doesn't have bad sound, it's just there are many better options. one thing creative does offer is typically great values for their players. ex: 32gb ZEN for $299 MSRP

well I've decided that I am going to get another mp3 player. My question is: Does the Creative Zen sound anything like the Creative ZVM. If it sounds worse, than I'll definitely go with the Sony A816.

no one knows anything about these? I'm only left with my resources as cnet and abi>>, so can anyone help?

I have never heard the Creative Zen Vision M but I have heard the Creative Zen it sounds bad comparing to pretty much any decent player on the market and it certainly does not come even close to Sony NWZ-S616 which I have.

I think it may be your preference. I'm not trying to say your wrong, but I really liked the Creative sound sig (airy and dry). On the abi review he said it was like the X5 at good volumes (Used with Atrio M5's.) and the X5 sounds good. I still can't decide. I really only need 2 gigs as I won't be using it A LOT, but when I do I want at least half decent sound quality, and I find it hard to believe it sounds bad, when I've seen a lot of sources say it's good, and from my past experience with Creative, too. Any more thoughts guys?

Did you try one in a store.

One think I like about the creative is the screen size and the standard USB connector. I've not heard it though. The battery life is worse.
