Great sound, great price, great mp3 player!

by cobadee , Jul 25 '06
Pros: Great sound, price, looks and just about everything
Cons: Navigation takes a little getting used to.
Creative has been in the business of electronics for a long time and the Zen was one of there first mp3 player. Creative has always had a problem with there mp3 players being a bit bulky, but this one has greatly been improved with design, and ...

It glows blue and is packed with features!

by shenanigan87 , Dec 08 '06
Pros: Great sound quality, bright, colourful display, removable battery, rich in additional features and settings.
Cons: Battery life not the best around, bundled headphones could be better.
When my 128 Acer flash stick just proved to be too small to accommodate enough music for sustained listening, I have been on the lookout for a new mp3 player for quite some time now. However, I definitely wanted to avoid the iPod hype and get something a ...

Small and packed with features

by sfoltz , Oct 18 '06
Pros: Comfortably small, FM radio play and record, easy to use and good menu system
Cons: Battery life, headphone jack may be a problem with some headphones
I have been using a 2nd Generation iPod Mini 4GB player for almost a year and finally ran out of room for my songs. While the iPod has been fairly reliable, it's not able to play audio books in WMA (Windows Media Player) format or DRM (Digital Rights ...

Maybe Better Than Others, But Still Sucks

by liseey02 , Oct 29 '06
Pros: Good look and feel, bright screen, line in-recording, fm tuner, and pretty good sound quality.
Cons: Joystick sucks, firmware isn't great, software sucks, must connect to usb to charge
I bought this player because I had a 4th generation ipod that has now broken for the 4th time. I wanted to get something more reliable, so I decided to go with a flash player. I will never buy an ipod again so that ruled out the nano. I went to CNET.com ...

GREAT DRYER!

by crfiv , Oct 11 '06
Pros: No overdrying of clothes, gentle on clothes, stackable
Cons: TIME - you have to give yourself 1.5 hours/load (true for all ventless dryers)
We bought this dryer to go with our Axxis washer and love it. We needed a ventless dryer to go in a closet - we actually had no choice about vent/ventless so knew there were going to be some compromises. This really is a great machine once you get ...

Good player for price

by cg502 , Apr 06 '08
Pros: Holds a lot of music, line in recording, FM radio
Cons: Time always wrong, joystick tough on fingers, preset volume issues.
I got this player over a year ago for Christmas. I use it on a regular basis mainly while exercising. So far I have nearly 500 songs on it and still have lots more space. The features I like: The screen is small, but easy to read and shows me all I ...

Use Caution - but so far so good

by nordmap , Jan 29 '07
Pros: Small, sleek, nice display, good sound, good reception.
Cons: Lock-ups, slow file transfer, belt clip & a/c adapter are seperate.
First I got an Ilo because it was cheap only to find that it only played WMA format, not MP3. So I returned it. Then I got a Sansa M250 which was nice, I guess. But I had a prior Creative 30GB as my source. I was trying to transfer files from one ...

Terrific Player for Overdrive audio books!

by cyberkristie , Dec 07 '06
Pros: Easy to read and adjust $ priced well for the large drive space.
Cons: Must use USB to charge, I'd prefer AC Charger
Big bang for the $$, I listen to Overdrive audio books on my Zen that I download from my local library, it allows you to bookmark your place and easily get back to where you were. The control pad is large enough and backlit making it easy to do ...

An unexpected Creative flop.

by tjhassecrets , Jan 21 '08
Pros: Sound quality, cute design
Cons: Common screen issues, poor control layout, not Mac-compatible.
Creative Labs makes everything from speakers to web-cams to mp3 players-- their crown jewel in my opinion. Creative has a reputation for having competitively priced players that don't require any software and have excellent sound quality. So, why can't I ...

Not the iPod Killer - Yet

by samuelperry , Apr 16 '06
Pros: Has a Nice Feel and Appearance. Compact.
Cons: Can't See Screen Outdoors; Has internal Hard Drive - Not Flash; Limited bit rate playback.
Having owned a large number of MP3 players, I have gotten pretty good and sizing them up in a hurry. Let me make it clear that I am no Apple fan - in fact, I think that largely their products are over priced and geared toward the elitist mentality. ...

Mixed Reviews

by huber89 , Nov 26 '05
Pros: Sound Quality, Size, Backlight, Price, Photo Capabilities
Cons: OLED screen hard to see in daylight, Cant view pics during songs, Touch Pad
I've had mine for a few days now. Got it from Staples. It's a great little mp3 player. The OLED screen is fantastic inside or at night in the car but in daylight you really have to find just the right angle to see it properly. The combination of the OLED ...

A little iffy

by carolinagirl98 , Jan 19 '07
Pros: sound quality, radio tuner and recorder, trendy appearance
Cons: difficulty syncing with the computer, Creative Customer Service wasn't very helpful, no video capability
This player looks trendy and it feels comfortable in my hand. It appears sturdy. Although I've heard complaints about the controls on the Microphoto, I personally like the controls. I had no trouble getting use to them and prefer them over the ...

Nice Little Toy

by jared81477 , Dec 21 '06
Pros: Small, Capacity, Recording, Aesthetics
Cons: Small buttons
I'd had this player about 2.5 months now, and this is my 1st MP3 player that I've owned. Physical description - very small, think of an oldschool box of wooden matches & it is just a pinch bigger. It easily fits into a shirt pocket, but almost too small ...

Dead Within 12 Hours

by critic27 , Apr 04 '07
Pros: It's small, light, portable, no moving parts so you can take it running.
Cons: Charge by USB only, sound artifacts while playing songs, unnecessary programs on install CD
It's small, has a bright LCD screen and fairly easy to figure out to use if you've owned mp3 players before. It took me a minute to figure out that holding the back button takes you to the Menu. It plays mp3 and WMAs. You can create play lists on ...
