Which should i get? I like the FM radio on the Zen and I like the way it does not need a program like iTunes to sync files. Any owners got reviews? Thank you.
It's depend on your need and taste actually. If you need a FM radio, then get the Zen. I just got myself an iPod Nano 8GB a couple of days ago through a local auction site for around $105. I'm really please with it and it's my first time buying an Apple product. An iTunes is not compulsory to sync files to the iPod. There are plenty of other freeware that you can use. - Dynashox -
iTunes is a monster of an application, it's a resource hog, and it's unnecessarily graphically intensive - BUT... it works. I use my 2nd Gen Nano for a few hours everyday, and I've never had a problem with it. I use my WiFi PDA as an iTunes remote (my PC's audio-out is running all over the house), and I've got an old 40GB iPod docked in the lounge room for when my main PC isn't running. The only issue I've got with iTunes is that it doesn't support multiple audio cards. I generally have no interest in Apple software or hardware, but iTunes and iPods 'just work'.
