Hi I have a vision M for about 3 months now and so far is the best thing I have ever brought. It plays pretty much everything u chuck at it except real and quicktime files, which is the only let down. Some video files needs converting but the software does that for you anyway. The built in FM radios reception is better than my own amp, and gives u that little extra when the battery is low. I advise you get a leather case or plastic skin to protect it and DO NOT remove the plastic film on the screen as you will regret it. MP3 playback is 10/10 and is easy to use. The touch pad takes some getting used to but u do after time. Th ebattery life is around 13hrs on mp3 and around 4hrs on video which is ample for a film. I would hunt around for prices thow last time I check PC world had it for £189 and about the same for Amazon, the case is available on Amazon as well.

Hope this helps , any other questions just ask or pm me.

I too have a 30GB Zen M. It is fantastic. Easy to use,and even at low sound on the player it is crystal clear. Very easy to add and remove files. I get about 10 hours or so from mine. But that is down to the fact I have all my MP3's at 192kbps with some at 256. Play.com do the Zen M for £165 so look there before Amazon or PC World.

I have one too. I won't go back to Apple now! They play everything. My folks love it when I hook it up to their LCD for them downstairs and I get a hassle free 2 hours whilst they watch an avi movie

lol, I had an iPod Nano but it was a real dissapointment because it was really badly scratched and the screen and the display kept freezing and stuff.

i've got one too which i purchased just about a week ago.
the video playback quality is better than the ipod due to the 262000 colours screen it has compared to the 65000 colours of the ipod .and it supports more formats,the most compatible being divx,xvid and mpeg1 files.
If you download a lot of divx movies or mpeg 1 videos off p2p networks then the creative zen m is your dream.it coverts those it cannot play but the only conversion option is wmv at 320x240 resolution.
converting a dvd to divx or xvid is much faster than converting to quicktime or h264 formats for the ipod
