I have a Zen that was initially a 30gb HD (purchased new last year for $255, now you can get the 60gb model for just $319), but I threw a 60gb drive in there for only another $115. And I can swap the battery myself. The Creative players are slightly bigger, and admittedly not as stylish, but the sound quality is better and they're infinitely easier to mess around with. I read somewhere about getting them to work on a Mac (on nomadness.net, I think), but I can't find drivers anywhere. Geez. A 60gb iPod will probably run... $600? I have the zen extra, and I haven't been able to find any accessories for it...like extra battery/charger. Where did you find them at? Creative also has the new touch players that imitate the ipod, so its easier to move through menus and such. ak
