Hey guys... i thought i had to update my journal again, so, here i am

I got some new music (which i really like so far ), you might know it:
all 5 albums of Sum 41.

I wont be able to do much with the songs except when I'm on the computer, because my iPod is working worse every week... It keeps freezing and i can't reset because my hold-switch sucks (sometimes keys don't work when they should work) and my menu button is only working 50% of the time

However, I've used my iPod a lot the past 2 years, and i got it for free (dad won it on a lottery with free ticket ), so no complaints about it's lifetime

However, i need something to replace it soon.
I think I'm going to buy a Creative Zen X-Fi (16gb). In about 6 months i have the money to buy one, so I'll have to do with my iPod a little longer (Wow i sound spoiled here). That is ofcourse, assuming i don't use it for other things.

Well, why the Zen?

Let's start why no iPod (Yes im bored).
iPod is a real 'A(+) Brand.' All macho's, spoiled kids (and some normal people) have got one. This makes it easy for Apple to raise the prices, or at least keep them high If you compare iPod's to ZEN's you'll see that often the sound quality of the ZEN's is better and at least you can watch movies (i know the newest Nano's can aswell) and customize your background. The only thing i like better with the iPod is the click-wheel, but after using it for some games you easily get pain in your thumb

Also, i like the ZEN's WiFi (yup, it has internetz ) because it allows you to download songs and movies from your own computer wherever you are (we have WiFi at school, per instance), or download and listen to or watch podcasts from the Creative server.
Also, i took a look at prices: new iPod nano 8gb costs € 189,00.
The ZEN X-Fi 16gb costs 'only' €160, has better battery life, double storage capacity and can be expanded with SD cards, bigger screen for images and movies, you can customize the backdrop (6 (good looking)presets or any photo/picture), better sound quality, the wifi support (I'm sure I'll use the streaming extremely often), speaker, $80 earbudds, and a shortcut button (you can set it to things like start playlist X, or turn speaker on, etc).

So yea, easy choice for me
Only €140 to go (little left because i bought a Wii and some games (Dude now i really sound spoiled I'm not! I'm NOT! I just saved my monies long time ))
