 Wonderful little mp3 player December 17, 2007
I love my little zen. I've had mine for about 4 months now and am incredibly happy with it. Its so small and convenient. I'm subscribed to Napster's "To Go" service and it works seamlessly with that. I dont travel a whole lot but occasionally I'll take a 2 or 3 hour bus ride and my zen makes it go so much faster. I use it mainly for when I work out. Its perfect because it so small I just carry it in my hand while running. The headphones included are not so good but I have a pair of Sonys that have lasted me years now that i use. The greatest thing about it was that I accidentally left it in the pocket of a pair of jeans and then put the jeans through the wash. The little guy survived an entire wash cycle and still works perfectly. Imagine that! I did let it dry out on the window sill for a week before turning it on.... but I didnt think it would still work. Zen, I love you!
Amazing little bargain player with excellent sound and built-in EQ! August 4, 2007

For years as an audiophile, i've been blowing crazy money on 2-channel high end systems, but always wanted to get my first portable MP3 audio player to 'join the iPOD craze'. After probably spending close to 10 grand on McIntosh equipment and huge Magneplanar speakers all these years, I realized I need something simple, compact, and cheap for when I walk the dog or cut the lawn. So rather than spending 2 or 3 hundred on higher capacity iPOD players, I decided to get this 1GB player for less than a third of what I would have paid for an iPOD, as my foray into portable players. The choice was a sound one (pun intended). So far, I have about 200 songs in my 'Zen V', and the transfer from my PC was easy, fairly quick, and flawless. The interface is intuitive, and battery life very good. The built in variable EQ and 'bass boost' feature is a godsend as well, since you can effectively tailor your audio to the sonic qualities of your earpieces or headphones. The cheap earpieces that come with this unit are not too good, so my only advice would be to invest in a good set of cans if you want killer sound. I have a pair of AKG K26P 'cans' for portable use, and a pair of Sennheiser HD-595 'cans' for home use. I cannot emphasize enough how a better set of earpieces or headphones will improve the Zen V's sound IMMENSELY! Considering the size, price, sound, and features of this portable media player, it is a 'no brainer' for those wanting an excellent, more affordable digital music player!
 A three and a half star mp3 player... June 1, 2007
The ZEN V has agreat song capacity, a cool look and great features. One of the bad aspects of this is that it freezes when you use the contoler to fast. As long as you use it at a normal speed it won't freeze(that's at least what I noticed). Also, for some reason my screen is a bit scratched even though they claim to have a scratch resistent screen.....hmmm. Other these few faults this has been an over all great mp3 and I would reccomend it.
The Zen is OK but it freezes alot May 6, 2007
I really like my mp3 player but it freezes up alot. I don't know why mine freezes because my sister and friend have the same kind and their's never freeze. today it froze up and i couldn't get it to unfreeze even when i pushed the reset button. I looked on the Creative website and it said what to do but i had to deleat all my songs that were on it. It's a really cool mp3 player and it works most of the time but i wouldn't buy it if you don't want to have to fool around with unfreezing it.
I love this MP3 player April 5, 2007
I first bought a Creative Zen Nano a couple of years ago. I loved it so well, I bought my husband one for Christmas this past year. Mine locked up then died about a week ago. I went to buy another one, but the store was out. I tried an Apple Shuffle. HATED IT! So, I took it back and got the Creative Zen V. It is very nice. It has a lot more features than the Nano, plus it holds pictures and comes with a lanyard. It will hold about 500 songs...way more than I really need. However, in order to learn about all the features, you will have to look up the user guide under your start menu as the little book it comes with doesn't have a lot of info. I didn't have any problems transferring my music or pictures...
