Mella & I have a pair of 4GB Creative ZENs as well as a 1st generation Zune (30 gig hard-drive based).
Overall I'd say the sound quality of the Zune is slightly worse than the ZEN's, but not enough to be consistently noticeable.
Earlier this week Microsoft introduced the 2nd iteration of the Zune in 80 gig HD based and 4GB & 8GB flash based flavors while discontinuing the original 30 giggers.
These remaining Zune 30s (while they last) represent some of the best deals out there in mp3dom IMO. amazon.com, buy.com, Woot! and others have been offering them periodically for the last month at under $100 and MS has released software and firmware upgrades that give them the same capabilities as the new models.
My Zune is black, but they come in white in addition to "butt ugly" brown. No problem though, spend a couple bucks on a silicone skin and nobody'll know the diff.
aloha,
Gene

Gene, I'm curious did you buy the Zune because your a M$ "Fan Boy", or hate iPods & Apple?
Handle every situation like a dog,If you can't eat it or hump it,piss on it and walk away...
