After over a year, still a good little machine.........2007-12-26
I have had this MP3 player since Aug. 2006. I use it at least an hour everyday. It is used mostly for listening to books that I download from my local library and speeches from my college website. I transfer and delete files all the time. It has had minimal problems with a lot of use. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It recharges fairly quickly on computer or using the electrical cord. It can be a little slow to change files, no big deal. It has taken a lot of abuse.
wish I wouldn't have bought it........2007-11-11
This MP3 player worked awesome for several months! then, about a week after the warrenty ended, it wouldn't work. there about 4-5 screens it goes onto regularly on the boot process, but mine goes to the second, freezes for about 3 minutes, then goen to a malfunction page. there are choices to erase all of the memory, reload the firmware, reboot, and something else. Only the reboot works, which just brings you back to the same screen. I can't sell it now, because it doesn't work, and creative won't take it back, becuase it's not warrented. I would not suggest this product to anyone!
Okay mp3 player.......2007-05-27
This mp3 player is okay. There are more con's then pro's but it still manages to be an alright media player.
cons
1.Battery life is really bad (It usually last about 1 1/2 hours at the most)
2.Freezes up more then it should
3.Outdated model (can't buy accessories for i from creative anymore)
4.Its really compared to other mp3 players
5.Can only hold about 5,000 mp3 files
6.Creative says the battery can last about 19 hours on a full charge mine last about 1 1/2 hours
7.only a 90 day warranty(if you buy it new)
Pro's
1.Can use more then one program(unlike ipods)
2.You can change the color theme
3.good audio quality
4.Doesn't cost alot of money for a mp3 player that can hold pictures and music
If you really want to get a better mp3 player get the creative zen V:plus
holds short video clips, music, photos all for about $185(8 gig)
DO NOT BUY!!!.......2007-05-12
We purchased this MP3 player and before a year was up we had problems with it. Sent it in to the manufacturer for repair (cost $25). It worked for less than 30 days after repair. Before we had any problems we recommended this product to a friend. They bought an identical item, and it lasted less than 6 months before it stopped working.
Was good while it lasted.......2007-04-10
At first when I purchased this item, I was one of the main ones stating what a gem this was and how i loved this gadget but that has changed. My player has gone capoeee. The sound is literally gone, all i get is an echo and a faint sound of the music but the lyrics are gone. i have tried troubleshooting it and doing all Creative Labs recommended but to no avail.

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.
best mp3 I have bought yet.......2007-08-07
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.
Great MP3 Player.......2007-07-02
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.
Pretty good actually....maybe.......2007-06-18
I've had this Zen for almost a year (i got it last August) and it's been working pretty well seeing that I've dropped it way to many times to count. Since this is the only brand I've ever bought a decent mp3 player from I can't compare it to any Ipod but my friends. I definiately think its better.
You can download songs from more than one device (as said in many reviews before, but I'm reassuring you), seeing that I loan the thing to friends and they put whatever they think I'd like on it and they all have different players(thanx guys). The screen is really great. The colours show up very well in the pictures. I don't like that you can't see your album art at the same time a song is playing. It has to be a picture. And you can't listen to music while viewing pictures either, but hey thats okay. And I've never really mastered the art of making a slide show, but I don't really need one.
The alluminum back and sides get scratched up pretty bad it you drop it onto concrete or asphalt and the screen gets scratched up pretty easily if you don't have a cover on it, but it's still in pretty good shape for me being a klutz and letting my friends borrow it. The buttons still work fine and everything and the touchpad still picks up. The cool thing(in my opinion) is that you have to use your finger on the touch pad, you can't use a pencil or anything but your finger, which is cool cuz it has to sense that its a finger.
I have over 2000 songs on this thing and over 300 pictures and its barely dented to memory which is awesome. It has like 17 GB left which rocks.It really does hold alot. But it's realy stupid how when you get a brand new mp3 and you plug it in and it has like 19.75 GB and it's completely empty though the thing is supposed to have 20 GB.
The sound on it's fine, but I can complain. Since I go through headphones really fast(I break them so easily) I constantly have to take the headphones out of the jack hole(hehe jack-hole) thingy which made the little plastic thing that's in the hole that holds the headphones in place and presses down so the headphones connect to the player get loose and break out. So everytime I take the headphones out that piece comes with it and I have to make sure I don't lose it and always put it back or the sound sounds like crap (it won't play on the right side and it sounds far off and distant). Because that little thingy(I don't know what to call it) is loose that sound quality is much worse even with it in there. The headphones don't connect as well so it sounds a lot more far off and distant.
A friend used to have one of the dell mp3's and it weighed about the same as the Zen and was thicker. Compared to an ipod the zen weighes a lot more and if ur not used to it, it can get tiring. And it's so heavy that it slides off things easily and drops heavily to the ground. I'm suprised mine hasn't broken yet.
As with most things as they get older they don't work as well, the battery life on the zen drops greatly as it ages a little bit. I can listen to the thing for at the most seven hours now when I could listen to it forever without the battery even moving when I first got it. And now I'm having problems with it charging. It won't charge at all unless the battery is completely dead and it won't charge all the way up which sucks because I listen it this thing a lot.I don't know if thats normal or if its a defect.
I would reccomend this to somebody if they took care of the thing and didn't do stupid things with it(who knows what my friends did to it). I'm sure it would last ages if you actually took care of the thing and charged it at the right times and everything.
Don't get this if you donn't want to have to take care of it. Or do and just watch the thing lose its life.
Get it if you want a cheap 20 GB Photo mp3 player that you might have a few little problems with but nothing so bad you have to take it back.
Live with it and enjoy the ZEN.
