Does the Zen playback AAC files (non copyright ones), or can they be converted with the software that comes with it.

Just get another iPod if your used to using them.
I have the 60Gb version and its been great for me. I use it every day for several hours at least (to/from work).
The battery life is amazingly good on it as well (20hours).

I've had 3 ipods each one dying after just a year, thats why im switching, i think they are great players, just very very prone to crapping out.

Dont get me wrong my iPod has well and truely served me faithfully,

and to end this thread i ordered an iRiver after using one and loving it to bits.

Will give a review when i get it

Some of you must have been unlucky, because my first iPod, a 15Gb one, was flawless for almost 2 years before i sold it, had a H140 for a bit, and now i have a iPod 60Gb, which is great imo.

I think £180 is very reasonable for a 30GB iPOD video considering I paid £200ish 18 months ago for my 20GB non-video!

I know.
But theres more chance of it being sold in Japan than over here.
