For many a year my attention was never captured by any apple product, let alone an ipod. My Creative Zen extra had seen me through hell and high water, a true behemouth of an MP3 player. sadly one fateful tuesday morning as i trudged to work the Zen had its last fall. It was no more. I replaced it with this ipod, as an easy option more than anything. i instantly fell for it. its interface is extremely easy to get to grips with, even for someone as slow as me. It's organisation of my vast collection of music was spot on straight away, and dare i say better than the Zen. It's synching with itunes was smooth, like fine mash potato, and almost as creamy. My one draw back with it to date has been a slight issue when using my brother's synching cable, which caused it to crash mid synch.
