<p>I have a zen touch, and I initially had some problems with the software, but it was because I updated the firmware on the player but not the software to transfer the files, so it wouldn’t recognize it. It is more of a hassle than the plug-and-play iPod, but I’d still rather have something with a couple of flaws that I can update the firmware on than something that never gets fixed, and the firmware is the annoyance of the zen touch.</p>
<p>I still prefer iTunes for listening to music on my computer, but I have a small enough collection that I rip my music into mp3s with Windows Media Player and it’s not much of a pain to use the files for iTunes and Creative’s software.</p>
<p>I got the zen touch because I like that I got a gig more space and FM radio for the same price as a 4 gig iPod mini. To me it’s worth arguing with the firmware for that. The blue backlight is also really cool. I wish I could have gotten a neeon, though, but they’ve only been released in Asia.</p>
