 handy September 6, 2010

convenient, downloads my audiobook choices from my area library for free,FM radio second great option. Have not used it for video. Bought a second one for my husband.
Great player for the price September 5, 2010
Daniel Jones (Los Angeles, Ca United States)
Great product for the price. I like the fact it accepts SD chips. The video player is great. Only thing I'm having problems with is creating playlists on the player itself, I've taken to creating them through the software on the PC then transferring them over.
Two years later, still love it September 5, 2010
Leigh G (Lexington, KY USA)
I actually have the 8G, which appears not to be around any more. I just noticed that people seem to post reviews right after they get things and it's hard to know how things wear. I reviewed mine early on and wanted to update that it's now 2 years old, battery still works and I'm as happy with it as I was to begin with. Still love the alphabet scroll feature that lets you jump through whole letters of albums at a time and works in both directions (so starting from "A", I can go straight to my "Yoga" playlist by scrolling up). Sound quality of course varies with speakers/headsets but when I hook this to my better speakers or headphones, the sound is really good. Bought it mainly to have a light and portable way to take music to my yoga classes and workshops but I've wound up with other things on it as well and I've added a flash memory card so most of my music is on it. I've used iPods and have a Nokia music express and I much prefer this.
A no BS review and comparison vs Ipod nano September 2, 2010
J. Castillo (miami, FL United States)

Ok, so I`ve always owned iPods as my MP3 players and I gotta say that
the quality of the sound and durability of the product is good. with that
said I`d like to tell you that if you're planning on buying an MP3 player
and if you're torn between an iPod and the Creative Zen I say buy the Zen with
"your eyes closed" and here`s why.
Size: the Zen is 8cm x 5 cm = 40 sq centimeters
while the Ipod is 3.8 cm x 9 cm = 34.2 sq cm, so the difference is barely noticeable
the difference is in the width Zen being twice as wide as ipod nano. This however
is not relevant due to the fact that both fit comfortably in small pockets. Advantage: even.
Software: The Ipod uses Itunes, everybody knows that. the thing is, without Itunes you cant
do anything on your iPod so you HAVE TO use apple`s software. this means, that you will have to
update your Itunes software every two weeks (I find nothing more annoying than this!!) and it comes
attached with safari and QuickTime. Zen comes with creative software which is easy to use and they dont keep
bugging you with download after download but the best thing is that YOU DONT HAVE TO USE IT!! If you
know how to transfer files to a usb drive then you can use Zen. Advantage: By far Zen!
Battery life: not much to go into here. Advantage: even.
Features: iPod plays videos and music files, has photo viewer...Zen plays: Videos, music files, has RADIO (it is beyond me why apple is so stubborn not to include a simple fm tuner on their gadgets...) and has voice recorder. I think these are useful things on an MP3 player...calendar and phone book are ok but the chronograph app in the nano SUCKS! the screen goes dark after a few seconds and its clumsy, no memory log for times, nothing..so why put that in there? oh and another thing, with iPod you have to use THEIR cable, so me, using it on the car and to sync with my music library on the PC I needed two cables that I had to buy and the original apple cables are EXPENSIVE! with the Zen you use same cable you`d use for a camera or my BB Bold...in other words, you could plug your Zen anywhere because everyone has either a digital camera or a Blackberry. I also plugged it on my Head unit in the car and it played like a charm...Usually for iPod to work the head unit needs to be loaded with software to communicate with iPod...not the case for the Zen which reads like a normal USB drive. for all these reasons....advantage: by Far Zen!!
Expandability: all iPods: NONE. Zen: use the media card capacity of your choice and as many as you want and you could - in theory - have infinite storage capacity. I`m not saying it would be practical but think about this...I bought a 2 GB Zen which cost me 40 bucks...add a 32 GB media card which costs about 35 bucks (or less)..I now have 34 GB of storage for about 75 bucks. compare that to a 32 GB nano and...oh wait, there is no 32 GB nano..just 16 GB?!?! and for 160 bucks...oh my I could buy 2 2 GB Zens and 2 32 GB media cards and still have 10 dollars to spare with 4 times the capacity. why anyone would prefer an Ipod other than to waste money is beyond me. Advantage: By far Zen!
oh ad one more thing, the iPod `s finish is and always has been, very prone to scratches, so this means if you wanna keep your iPod looking decent you NEED to buy a `skin` which depending on your choice could make the iPod much more expensive. Zens `body`is plastic which is way more resistant to scratches than iPod.
No matter how you slice it, the iPod does not compare to Zen and with the money I spent buying my two previous iPods I could have bought a Zen for me,one for my GF, one for my mom and one for my sister with respective 32 GB media cards and still have 20 us$ left. Not to mention being much more appreciated by the ladies in my life!
Love it! August 31, 2010

I love my zen. I have had it for over a year and it's still working great. It's really easy to use and sounds just as good as an ipod, only more affordable.
