The Milestone plays a few more formats including Dazy. I don't know how quickly you can skip through an individual track using the creative unit. Is the quality of audio output as good as the milestone? Also, the Milestone holds more data and allows you to use memory cards which is another advantage. I think it also allows you to record basic voicenotes. Still, not sure if voicenotes the ability to swap memory and a couple of extra formats really justify the price difference.

It arrives tomorrow and sounds from the write-ups very good. But at that price if it's not what I want I can give it away as a present and not lose any sleep.
