Will my Vision M skip?

Question

I plan to go cycling with my Creative Zen Vision M. Is this ok? Will the music skip or is it ok?

Answer 1

To second the first answer, the ZVM will not skip. If it falls, the case may get scratched up a bit in the best case scenario. In the worst case scenario, because it is a hard drive based player, you could damage the head of the hard drive or case the head to skitter across the platters causing damage to the disk. (See the picture in this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk )

You might want to make sure you get a silicone skin (such as: http://www.podsplus.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=192 ) or a padded leather case (such as http://www.vajacases.com/images/mp3/creative/zen_vision/zen_vision_en.html )

You also are going to want to find some way of securing the player so it doesn't take a tumble in the first place.

The other alternative might be to get a "cheap" flash memory based player for work outs such as the Creative Zen V which has an armband accessory for holding the player.

uhh it wont skip. but if u drop it while playing or shake it alot u can cause a head crash. the magnetic head will literlay crash against the platters. but if u like cycle wit it on ur arom and it not reciving much shock u should be fine. but be warned that its hard drive based whichhas moving parts. but still just dont drop itwhile playing or yah. creative rules!
