 "I Found My Zen" | 2008-07-24 |
| - Reviewed By noangel545 |
I received this as a Christmas present. And joyfully excepted this gift.
20 gigs! Yummy. I remember when having 1 gig was amazing to me. Now my happiness explodes! Play list to fit me every mood. It's like having a sound track to my life stories as it evolves day to day. This is easy to use and downloading music to this a joy. The first day I downloaded 10 albums it only took minutes. I only use the MP3 Player in this. the FM tuner, recorder and other functions I have yet to explore. I did put a few pictures in it though. I prefer my GPS for that, it has a much larger screen. I really like the Creative products but find their customer support lacking. I can't even find this model on their website. But I have found a nice leather case for it. And some adapters for charging it in the car and a wall plug. Please check my other reviews. I found them at a very reasonable price. Please note unlike the zen micro and muvi from with you can use a generic USB Cord. The zen sleek requires it's own special cord. Please check my other reviews concerning Creative products. Also unlike the Zen Micro the battery can't be replaced with my zen micro I always kept two batteries. Though I will say it does hold a charge at least ten hours continuous play. I play it 8hrs a day minimum. |

| It's kinda buggy, especially when writing to it. It's prone to freezing up, requiring you to restart it. And for the price, it's quite the small hard drive. And the menus are hard to navigate, especially with the slider. If you're looking for a good MP3 player and you have a small library, this is good for you. |

 "Works with Vista!!!!" | 2008-03-13 |

| Yes, Thats right, this MP3 Player from 2005 works with Windows Vista without any problems, assuming you don't use the software (which I don't advise anyways..its a waste of time) I just use windows media player to sync it up and then I am done. it's not as fast as the new Creative Zen but its quite a bit cheaper and it has never givien me any problems. (I have had it for 8 months.) |

| For the money this is one great MP3 player, you get a lot of features i.e. FM Tuner, Photos, ability to change the themes for your color screen (which makes this a better value and not to mention just as attractive or more so than ipod). I found a silicone skin on the street here in NYC and so mine is staying in pretty good shape. I did drop it on the cement/sand street in West Africa (turned out ok, never had any damage other than a few scratches) and OH I forgot, the charger is dual voltage which is sweet if you travel all you need is the adapter. I have only had this freeze a handful of times on me but I just pushed the reset button on the bottom and it took a few minutes to re-build the library. My eyes are looking at the 80GB Zune now though if Creative does not come out with something comparable in price. |

| "Great player, another problem with software" | 2007-11-24 |

| I have had this product for about a year now, and there have been a few problems. After a year of usage, and three or four falls, the dirt and dust is starting to sneak into the screen. On this note, the player held up very well. Now about the software. I've read some reviews saying that you can use a different software choice. I used the included disc, and the problems are as follows. When you download songs and CDs, it will re-arange the music to be in alphabetical order, not in the track order. Also, when the download was finished, it did not show up on the player, so, a little disgruntled, I repeated the entire process, only to find that the songs and album art was already there. That was frustrating. Now in my search for different sources of music, I used MusicMatch, which is now Yahoo! music. I have had mixed results with the compatability of the songs. Some songs came out loud and clear, while others were soft, (could of been recording volume) but some songs only played halfway, then played static for the rest of the song. I recommend using LimeWire or some other free music source. Another note, I tried iTunes, only to find out that I had to burn the songs I bought onto CDs only to rip them onto my player. By now, there are many different choices, and maybe Creative worked out the kinks, but I am going over to the iPod. |

| To be honest the only problem I have with this product is the fact that it does not play video, but other than that i give it an easy 5 stars! easy to navigate, lots of personalisation options and cool features. |

| I bought mine last year and I'm just getting around to writing my review. I love it. It's a great unit and for a good price. Creative MP3's (I had a Zen Micro before this on) upload twice as fast as my son's Ipod, and I have had no problems at all with my Creative MP3 freezing up like the Ipods do. With that said... Creative could do a better job with their power cords and accessories. The power cord is kind of funky and accessories are very limited. |

| "Great little device for a great little price" | 2007-07-01 |

| I'm no hard core user, so for me, this is the perfect device. I have about 2000 songs on it so far and it has been working perfectly. It freezes up every once in a while but the reset button takes care of that. Some folks are putting a bad review on this and I don't think that is fair. It's an inexpensive player, what do you expect? It's no Ipod, but I'd still take this over an Ipod any day. I've had it for about a year now. I haven't had any complaints worth mentioning. |
