I've got a Zen. They fucking own. You get more storage space for your money ($299 20gb iPod, vs $292 60gb Creative Zen) You get a longer battery life. When the battery does eventually die, you can click the cover off and replace it yourself. You don't have to use iTunes. The software you use is optional, windows picks it…
