Mp3 issues (Zen Stone Plus)

I personally like my Zune... Similar to iPods except a bigger screen...

The thing with iPods and Zunes and probably some other MP3 players, is they use certain programs to put the music and videos onto them, but see, part of that is organization... It's much easier when your music is already sorted by artist and album and you don't have to do anything except plug it in.

Relating to the quote above... Basically, what I've found is that recharging doesn't like to work on laptops, try on a desktop tower computer. See if that helps. Should you choose to buy another creative mp3 player, buying the charger would be worth it: it's universal to all creative manufactured mp3 players.

Is it too late to buy the charger and try using it on my malfunctioning battery? >_> Like it still works some of the time, just not at the times I want it to D:

Since it seems that your battery charges only some of the time, I doubt it's a problem with the charger. It just sounds like your battery is deteriorating. Getting a new charger wouldn't really help if your battery can't hold the charge. But that doesn't mean you can't try it, and you won't lose anything. Buy a new charger if you want to try it out before splurging on a new MP3 Player, and if things don't work out, just return the charger.

@Taiketo: One of the problems with the software that some MP3 players comes with is that people just don't want extra software it comes with. It's just something extra that certain manufacturers (ahem, Apple) push onto the user. I don't really care how easy it is to install and use. I don't want to mess around with the resource hog that is called iTunes and I don't want iTunes in charge of what I can or can't put on my iPod. Some people just find it better if they have complete control over what they want to put on their MP3 Player. No extra software required. That's the best.

While we are on the subject of suggesting MP3 Players, I'll go ahead and contradict myself there by telling you to get a Zune or iPod. Both would require special software to use, unless you use Plugins on other programs you have running. But they are both great MP3 and video players and have large tech support communities in case you're having trouble with them. If you're up to spending the money, I'd get an iPod Touch. I got mine when it first came out, and have been using it since without any hassles. I've never Jailbroken my iPod, which would unlock so many more possibilities, but it still works great for me. With the new App Store, you can do a lot of things with the iPod. I only wish it had Flash support...

But you don't have to listen to me. Get whatever MP3 player you want, and if you're really scared it's going to break, just get an extended warranty.
