How I Got Permission to Purchase

We recently spent an amazing TWO weeks in The Florida Keys, Knight's Key in Marathon. If there were any "real" jobs, especially in the mid-Keys, in my field, I'd be typing this overlooking beautiful, green and blue, Caribbean waters. We usually go for a... Read full review »

Tape on a paperclip

Pros Long battery life, super good video.
Cons Menu system was poorly designed. Buttons are difficult to use.
Recommended it? Yes

Update
Almost 6 months of owning this mp3 player and it still works.  However everything I originally wrote still stands.  Even so, it still beats using a cell phone as a music or video player.


Great video and sound. Long battery life. Plenty of space. Works as advertised.

It's okay if you have patience and a paperclip...

Pros It's light and thin, has a built-in equalizer, and some other random features.
Cons Unfortunately, most features that actually matter are glitchy and require the aid of a...
Recommended it? No

First off, let me make it clear that this review is about the product, not the company and it's employees. While my review might be negative in regards to this product, I have not tried enough of Creative gadgets to form an accurate opinion of the company. As for this review, I wouldn't know how to...

Pros Fast, simple, affordable. Sleek and easy to use.
Cons No "cons" that I can find.
Recommended it? Yes

Recently my wife purchased the Creative Labs Zen 4GB Digital Media Player. Having owned an iPOD in the past, I already knew what to expect in an MP3 player, and this one is not very different from others.

Except for the price, which is relatively low given the range of features it offers... Read full review »

Never give in to the iPod mania.

Pros Low price, great feature list, easy use, nice look
Cons Need to upgrade the items that come with, no integration of SD Card storage
Recommended it? Yes


Many years ago I bought my first MP3 player. This was just after the 1st gen iPod had come out, and seriously, it was just way too expensive with not enough storage. So I bought a Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox instead (my review is still here, though horribly outdated) and I was quite happy with... Read full review »

A decent player, but not outstanding

byroman8389 May 12, 2009
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Compatibility, quality, size, ease of use, volume
Cons Software bugs, complicated menus
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Creative ZEN 4GB player about three months ago, and overall I have been pleased, though it's not without its problems. As far as functionality goes, it does what it's supposed to do: plays music to whatever kind of audio device you have with a standard 3.5mm connection. The player... Read full review »

Pros It ROCKS.
Cons The battery situation is not entirely kosher.
Recommended it? Yes

I received the Creative Zen 4GB as a Christmas gift for my son from 'Santa' specifically for a trip we are taking to Florida.  We are taking the train and it's an overnight trip.  My son needed something to occupy his time.  I specifically bought this device as a miniature video player.  We'll be...

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros The price, obviously. User Interface-nice job on accessibility. Overall good product.
Cons Look and feel of the body is a little cheap looking.
Recommended it? Yes

After extensive research on all the portable music players out there, and as you probably know there are more than a few, I ended up with the Creative Zen.
I guess price was the no. 1 factor in comparison to the ipod and zune. Though not at all sacrificing quality and sound. Actually in my... Read full review »

Big Screen, Expandable Memory and More.

Pros FM radio, expandable memory, plays video and movies, record mode and more.
Cons Poor menu system thats too hard to navigate.
Recommended it? Yes

I walk in the Best Buy store and ready to buy the Ipod Nano when I spotted this amazing jewel. What caught me the most is the big screen and the upgradable memory slot so I am not limited to just the internal memory and I can always add on it.

It also got a FM radio, and it plays movie,... Read full review »

Good buy

bywoodsy123 Sep 10, 2008
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good sound. Good pics. SD slot very useful.
Cons Hangs and needs a reset now and then.
Recommended it? Yes

The SD slot allows you to expand the contents infinitely. Sound is great. Take along a paper clip though. I find if I press the wrong key on the wrong item, it goes into a hung state, and only a reset will do. Screen is really good with high res. Shows pictures nicely. Haven't quite figured out...
