While my 1st generation 15gb Dell DJ still works, it's kind of bland and acts a little funny sometimes, and I think either of these would be a tremendous upgrade. Which of these would be the better buy? They're both about the same price. Which has better sound quality? I like the look of the controls on the Gigabeat a bit better, and I like the fact that it has dedicated controls, which the Vision doesn't, but the reviews suggest that the gigabeat's dedicated controls are kind of clunky. I really like the look of the Gigabeat's navigation, menus, and so forth, and it looks like you can look through all tracks in a playlist while listening, thanks to the dedicated controls, which you can't do on an iPod, and I assume you can't do on the Vision because of the touch pad thing. My main concern with the Gigabeat is the battery life, which seems pretty inconsistent, although the Zen doesn't seem to be a lot better in that respect. Also, I've read some things that said the Vision no longer ships with an AC charger, but some places say it still does, and I'm not sure what to believe. Can someone help me there? Finally, does either have a shuffle albums setting?
