Well, I tested, and changed some with Itunes... Winamp found them right away.

Apple has lost the little credit they had from me.

I DO like the Creative Vision M.

But the quoted battery life is the same on each for audio, although Creative claims longer batter life for video playback. The screens are the same aren't they? And the Creative has the FM tuner, but at the expense of thickness and weight.

The kicker though is that your media is in WMA - Microsoft's audio format. You can have iTunes convert your non-DRM media for you, but going from one lossy format to another lossy format is never pretty.

Unless you plan on re-ripping from CD - I'd be going with the Creative.


I use my iPod naked but with the Invisible Shield on and it's blissfully small.

You take your auto-updating ID3 tags. I'll keep my smart playlists. Which I'm assuming that Winamp cannot do. Though I could be wrong :)

Does the Ipod have a replaceable battery? The Creative does not...

It's user replaceable but requires tools.

Does it really do smart playlists though? Like can you create a playlist that will give you 15 songs rated 3 stars or above from the genre Rock that you have not listened to in at least 3 days? So obviously once you listen to a song it no longer meets the criteria and so is removed from the list.
