So, internet. I am in need of gadget advice. My mp3 player has started doing crazy things. Well, I say "started" but really, it's been doing most of it for months. It does this thing where it will pause or switch to the FM radio or shut itself down if you twiddle the headphone jack or bump it or touch it at all, really. In fact, if you don't put the headphones in exactly correct, you get no sound whatever. And this weekend, it started randomly starting itself and playing in the depths of my bag when the player was supposed to be locked.
Currently, I have a Creative Zen Vision. I have been a devoted Creative Zen person since I got my first one, even though the rest of my family are iPod people, for one reason and that is the bookmark function, which the Zen has and the iPod does not. I listen to a hell of a lot of audiobooks and losing my place because I've decided I need to take a music break is obviously unacceptable. However, they don't make the Vision anymore (of course) and the reviews for their current crop of mp3 players are...disappointing.
So. Does anyone have one of the new Creative Zen products, like the X-Fi, so they can tell me how they really work? Or, alternately, does anyone know of another brand of mp3 player that does bookmarking? I really don't want to have to carry a pad around with me everywhere, just to keep track of my audiobooks.
