Which Zen do you mean?
I have the Zen Micro 5Gb (silver, ltd edition). The battery lasts about 8 hours of constant playtime. Headphones are crappy and the wires are of an annoying length. I will be replacing them with some Sennheiser noise reducing puppies.
Also, headphone socket is playing up and I might need to exercise my warranty rights...

Actually, when you have it in your hand, it's pretty cool - feels nice and is only marginally less attractive that the GirlPod.
Only thing is the up/down arrow on the front UI is not as cool as the circular iPod control or as useable.
5Gb isn't that much actually. I managed to get about 103 albums, with 1173 tracks in at the default mp3 compression (128kbps?). Mainly rock, metal, prog, fusion, guitar stuff, so their 2500 track claim at the same rate must apply to Britney type 2 minute MTV crap.

Oh yeah, on the iPod Mini, the battery is not user replaceable. Lithium ion batteries eventually die after 12-18 months of use. According to Trainee Boy at the Wheelock Apple Centre, your alternatives in this case are to pay $200 to have it replaced, or to take out an additional extended warranty, magically costing about $200 for 2 years cover. Factor this in.
i was talking about the zen touch ... i read it lasts up to 24 hrs on 128kps and 32 hrs on 48kps
thats pretty damn cool...but come to think of it... one must REALLy be on the move if they need so much battery life.
will most prob wait for the later ipods... the prices will drop.... and when they do... i will be there...

these ipods and creative zens. as much as the battery life is long (in terms of hours); they're lifespan isnt.
would it be better to have players where the batt is affordable and easily accessible rather thant to fork out so much to replace the batt?

Why need batteries that last forever? By the time they need replacing, you would be looking for new players. I suppose the average lifespan should be 3 years before they goes dead, especially when technology is evolving to make better-lasting batteries.
