I'm debating about buying a MP3 player or an Ipod but the impression I'm getting is non-Ipod MP3 players are more flexible for choosing your source of music (Napster, your own CD's) whereas you are locked with I-tunes with I-pods. Same thing with Zune (having to use the company's proprietary music store.) Any thoughts on which is the best value for an MP3 player? Thanks!

Creative Labs MP3s are great. I had a Zen Nano Plus 1GB and it worked great. Next bought a Zen Micro 6GB on eBay for $100 used. The 6 GB is loads of memory and you won't need more if your just doing music. I have Napster and really like it.
There may be a special at Amazon now for Nano Plus - full price is like $135 at Wal Mart.
Ipods are trendy if you must have the "in" toy but get you locked into their buying system.

hi last year for Christmas i was in the same dilemma i researched it & i found that when you pay $200 & up for an iPod your not paying for the device your paying for the name "Apple iPod". After concluding my research i decided my best buy would be a MP3 so i bought a Creative Zen nano 1 GB i havent even filled it up w/ songs! They are a lot more flexible when it comes to music & they dont have a lithium ion battery which is a rechargable battery & the battery goes dead after a while. Then you would have to buy a whole other battery , the cheapest is $150 versus a MP3 which runs on a AAA battery! so after all the mp3 would deffinately be your besdt choice for several reasons! Merry Christmas

I would use creative labs. I never had any problems with that company, and it contains the same options as an IPod. Their also alot cheaper too.

It depends what kind of MP3 player and what kind of iPod
