Noob MP3 question

amazon.de would take 4-6 weeks to deliver the creative zen, so as it's sales time I went downtown to look in the shops & saw the following:-
Creative MuVo 512 - reduced from £66 to £53
Creative Zen 512 - £71
Creative MuVo 1024 - reduced from £84 to £71
Creative Zen 1024 - £89
(prices are usually slightly higher in Switzerland than elsewhere)

Can anyone tell me the difference between Zen & MuVo in 1-2 easy sentences?
Or why I should pay £71 for a 512 Zen when I can get a 1024 MuVo for the same price?

i :wub: my ipod

and i basically use media player. works fine for me tbh as the ipod came with its own programme to use with it so was just a case of making the computer do a search for music and adding it to the ipod which took ages but was automated. obviously now if i add a CD to my collection i just add the CD folder and not the whole music folder.
Unfortuneatly the apple software doesnt seem to recognise duplicate songs and copies them again to the programme. doesnt copy twice into ipod tho

edit

and i got 2 glow in the dark apple logo stickers which imo is kinda kewl

i like the idea of apple even if i dont understand if theyre any good

Bought gf a creative zen nano, looks great, works great, significantly cheaper than the ipod for a better feature set.

Aye but the Creative Zen & teh Creative MuVo look basically the same, just the MuVo is significantly cheaper & I'm wondering why

hmmm looked on the creativelabs webbie & still can't really see any difference apart from the Zen comes in a wider variety of prettier colours

<=== total noob

That's good to know, cheers for that info Ovi. x

Itunes has an option to search your library for duplicates but you have to manually edit/delete them.

Well I tried Musicmatch because EAC+Lame looked like I might have to use whats left of my brain to work out what to do & I'm impressed

I like it
