Should I get rid of my Creative Zen and get an Ipod?
I’ve had it for about 2 months. I was recently trying to sync music to it, and about half of my songs and videos were deleted from the player automatically. In addition to this, it sometimes freezes up and you have to put a safety pin or needle into a “reset” hole in the bottom to reset it. I am very upset, and I am considering selling it and buying the king of mp3 players. But, I have read reviews saying the Zen is better in several ways. Should I give my Zen the benefit of the doubt or just get rid of it before it screws up more?
According to a lot of reviews, the Zen is somewhat better than the ipod.
Have you tried to update the firmware for your Zen? This could actually solve a lot of problems with freezing and sudden deletion of songs.
Also: Cowon has some amazing mp3 players as well

Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray Player Review
Once 3D Blu-ray Players were announced for the upcoming year, most people thought that it would only be the higher end models in the $400 plus range that would have this feature. But Sony has recently stated 3D firmware upgrades will be available to all of it’s Blu-ray Players starting from the BDP-S470. This will make the BDP-S570, which is already a fantastic Blu-ray Player, even better.
Sony has succeeded in making the BDP-S570 look polished and streamlined. The front panel is a glossy black with an indentation along the front bottom where the panel controls are located. A USB port is also located on the front, giving you easy access. All other input and outputs are on the rear of the Blu-ray player. The control panel buttons are a combination of touch sensitive controls and physical push buttons.
Video Quality: Features such as x.v.Color™ Technology and 24p True Cinema™ Technology help provide the best possible picture on Blu-ray playback. The BDP-S570 can be connected via HDMI, component video or composite video outputs located on the back of the Blu-ray Player. HDMI, as always, will give you Full HD 1080p Output. You can also view movies through streaming online content. Sony has included a feature called I/P Noise Reduction in the BDP-S570. This improves the picture quality of online video streaming content; making sure the images are crystal clear on your HDTV.
Audio Quality: The BDP-S570 has great audio quality and features. There are HDMI, optical digital audio out, coaxial digital audio out and 2 channels analog audio outputs on the rear of the Blu-ray Player. Unfortunately, there are no analog 7.1-channel audio outputs. But its Audio DAC (192kHz/24bit) and internal audio decoding for Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD provides you with a great High Definition sound.
The BDP-S570 has all of the set of features you expect to find in a mid-level Blu-ray Player. It has built-in Wi-Fi( 802.11n), DLNA compatibility and access to online streaming services. This includes Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, YouTube, Pandora, Slacker and Picasa/Flickr. (DLNA, Pandora and Picasa/Flickr will be available later through firmware upgrade). It also has 1 GB of internal memory so it is more convenient to take advantage of BD-Live content. You will not require the use of a USB memory flash drive.
There are many other great features found on the BDP-S570. One is the “BD Remote” app. This is a free app you can download to transform your iPhone or iPod touch into a remote for the Blu-ray Player. Allowng you to access movie information and search movie related topics. Another nice feature on the BDP-S570 is the Gracenote Metadata Service, which gives you quick, detailed data about the movies you are enjoying. Then there is the Quick Start/Quick Load feature. This makes the BDP-S570 one of the fastest Blu-ray Players ever.
The big feature that will separate the BDP-S570 from most mid-level Blu-ray Players is its 3D capability. Being able to enjoy 3D Blu-ray disc movies in Full HD 1080p may appeal to many. This firmware will not be available until summer of 2010, so there is no way to comment on its performance. However, it is the only Blu-ray Player model in its price range to offer 3D Blu-ray disc playback compatibility.
THE PROS: The Sony BDP-S570 has excellent picture quality and will be 3D Blu-ray compatible in the summer of 2010. It has online streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon VOD, YouTube and Slacker. Built-in Wi-Fi and 1 gb of internal memory, makes it easier to use streaming services and access BD-Live content. Also has internal audio decoding for Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD and can playback Super Audio CD.
THE CONS: Unfortunately, you will have to wait for some of the Blu-ray Player’s features (Pandora, DLNA, and 3D) to become available through firmware updates. There are no analog 7.1-channel audio outputs.
THE FINAL WORD: If you do not mind waiting for firmware updates the Sony BDP-S570 is a great Blu-ray Player. It is packed full of features and has excellent image and audio quality. It’s operational speed is exceptionally fast. Once the BDP-S507 has all of it’s features, you should not be disappointed in it’s performance. –Price you should look for when purchasing — Under $250.00
