The Zen Micro is for serious tech/music types, for those of you who aren't in the mode to spend 250 smackerollians on an MP-3 player, Creative has some other cool, less expensive choices.

We've had a couple of Creative Nomad MuVo MP3 players around the house for awhile. The Nomad MuVo is a cool little player. Super easy transfer using a memory stick, that is part of the Nomad, with it's own USB connector (no cables required).

Just plug the Nomad into your USB port and transfer. It comes in 128, 256 and 512 Mbyte sizes. The NOMAD MuVo TX 128MB goes for $59.99 at Creative. Not a bad deal for a player to hold 30 or 40 songs in a super small and easy to use package. If you wanted to you could use the memory as a memory stick for other data too, like any other USB flash or keychain-type memory.
