I have a 40 GB Zen Xtra, last night I was telling my friend it was the best money I've ever spent. I've never experienced an ipod, or any other player, so I don't know how it compares. I do know it cost about $100 less than an ipod with the same memory.

One thing is that the software was a bit murky for me at first, but now I am used to it, it is second nature. From reading the reviews on Amazon.com, I think this is a common complaint. But the hardware is so far, so good. I've never even had the battery run out on me before I get it recharged, and I've fallen asleep with it on and woken up in the morning with it still playing.

I admit, I am a bit envious of all the accessories the ipod has, but I think I still bought a good product.

So far I've had no trouble with any type of file, but I've only tried MP3 or WAV files, and they go on there fine. Of 5000+ songs so far (and 10GB left to fill) I've had a tiny handfull of songs that would not transfer, but I'd use the software to manually transfer the the format from, say, MP3 to WAV, and it would go on fine.
