 Eh.. Feb 01, 2010
I've always been a big creative fan. The only problem I really have with this is it doesn't let me organize folders and such the way that I want to. For instance, on my computer, I have a Johnny Cash folder with songs from different albums in the same folder. On the zen, I have 4 Johnny Cash selections to choose from rather than just clicking "Johnny Cash" and seeing the songs I have. For instance:
Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash; June Carter
Johnny Cash; Kris Kristofferson
Johnny Cash; U2
What the hell? Why can't I just throw all of the songs together? So I think I now have to edit the properties in each and every song on this thing and make sure it says they're all on the same album and all by JUST that artist (take out any additional artists credited for that song) to have them show up in the same folder. *sigh*
 Creative Zen 8GB Portable Media Player Jan 30, 2010
Excellent player. Easy to use. I bought it for use with public library audio books. It has a bookmarker so it is wonderful for this. I love that it has an option of additional card slot. I was able to trf ipod music to it that I had saved. It is tiny and I bought a silicone case to protect it. Color screen is bright and clear. Videos play smoothly. All in all, it suits my needs. Really like it better than my ipod. In fact I gave my ipod to my son because of all the media protection. At the time I bought the ipod I didn't realize that most of the audio books couldn't be trf'd to it. Also, have a sony, but this is so much nicer than the sony mp3 player.
Awesome Product, had for 8 months no Jan 26, 2010
This is a excellent mp3 player. Very compact and packs a ton of features. Sound clarity is excellent. Battery life is great I take it on my long 12 hour drives and I dont have it to charge it before 20 to 30 hours of playing music
Now Video is a different thing, having the screen on burns battery way to fast. I have mine in a silicon jacket. this is recommended as any matte surface will pick up a lot of dust and smudges
Great for audible books Jan 20, 2010
Pros: Bookmark feature saves your place so you can return to where you stopped/paused in the book. Plays MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) format. Added benefit of picture viewing, radio, SD card slot and other features I have yet to use since purchased in April 2009. Control lock so you do not accidently push buttons. RELIABLE. Only had to reset x 1 since purchase with no lost memory.
Cons: I suggest you invest in some soft earbuds if you will be using this for extended periods of time. I purchased the Creative Headphones EP-630 by Creative Labs. I have been very happy with this product for listening to radio and books.
Okay until it died Jan 10, 2010
This Creative Zen worked fine until it died on my last trip, after just 16 months. I was charging it via USB and saw the screen flickering strangely. I opened it up when I got back (hoping I could just replace the battery) but saw burn marks on the motherboard (near the reset switch). My previous generation Zen also died (from hard drive failure).
When it worked, it was fine. Great screen, good sound quality. User interface has some quirks.
Overall, cannot recommend Creative MP3 players based on poor reliability.
