Warning: Zen Vision M MP3 Player
    #6599419 - 02/22/07 08:33 PM (17 years, 29 days ago)

Last December I got a 60gb Zen Vision M mp3 Player. The thing was awesome. I used it a lot at work to listen to music and the radio. I also could plug it into my car stereo so no more CDs piling up in every crevice of my car. I also watched movies on it that I downloaded from various bittorrent sites. The picture quality for such a little screen was phenomenal. But the other day the LCD screen broke:



It fell about two feet onto a carpeted floor. I treated it well and it should not have broken so easily. Upon doing some research I found out that this is not an isolated incident. Check out this thread:

I haven't contacted anyone from the company yet but it sounds like warranty won't cover it because they can argue that it was my fault. Looks like I have to pay around $120 to have it fixed/replaced. I wish there was something I could do to it to make it look like it broke purely as a result of a mechanical failure, like failed hard drive or something. Then warranty would cover it. The screen looks fine when the thing is turned off because the break is on the inside. I don't know what I'm gonna do quite yet.

Anyone planning on buying one of these may want to think twice.

I bought a Zen for my first MP3 player. Had the thing for 3 months before it stopped working. I recommend people stay away from Zen.

Now I have an iRiver. It's great it was the same price as an iPod but it had at least half a dozen more features.

same price as iPod
same storage capacity
has radio (ipod didn't)
has microphone (ipod didn't)
color screen (ipod didn't)
stored pics (ipod didn't)
stored text (ipod didn't)
Comes w/ Windows Media Player 10

I got an iriver about 3 years ago. It still works great but it is only 256 mb, its probably time to get a new one.

Yeah, I imagine the screen could be a problem. But at the same time, the Zen line of mp3 players usually have very good ratings in reviews. In fact, "ConsumerReports" has it currently ranked as #3 out of all hard-disk mp3 players.

I-River scored high on the flash-based players.
