Creative Zen Vision:M 60 GB

There’s a curious correlation between home computing hardware and personal music players – I’m trying to avoid calling them mp3 players, because they don’t all use mp3 files. In the first instance, you got staunch Apple Mac users versus the conglomeration of other PC users whose machines come under the banner of IBM-compatibles.
