Pros Great sound, price, looks and just about everything
Cons Navigation takes a little getting used to.
Recommended it? Yes

Creative has been in the business of electronics for a long time and the Zen was one of there first mp3 player. Creative has always had a problem with there mp3 players being a bit bulky, but this one has greatly been improved with design, and everything about it is just about as good as an Ipod...

Terrific Player for Overdrive audio books!

bycyberkristie Dec 7, 2006
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Easy to read and adjust $ priced well for the large drive space.
Cons Must use USB to charge, I'd prefer AC Charger
Recommended it? Yes

Big bang for the $$, I listen to Overdrive audio books on my Zen that I download from my local library, it allows you to bookmark your place and easily get back to where you were.

The control pad is large enough and backlit making it easy to do everything. The menu is a big 1.5" color... Read full review »

Pros Comfortably small, FM radio play and record, easy to use and good menu system
Cons Battery life, headphone jack may be a problem with some headphones
Recommended it? Yes

I have been using a 2nd Generation iPod Mini 4GB player for almost a year and finally ran out of room for my songs. While the iPod has been fairly reliable, it's not able to play audio books in WMA (Windows Media Player) format or DRM (Digital Rights Management)licensing. It also didn't have a...

Pros Holds a lot of music, line in recording, FM radio
Cons Time always wrong, joystick tough on fingers, preset volume issues.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this player over a year ago for Christmas. I use it on a regular basis mainly while exercising. So far I have nearly 500 songs on it and still have lots more space. The features I like:
The screen is small, but easy to read and shows me all I need to see in terms of song title. I would... Read full review »

Pros Great sound quality, bright, colourful display, removable battery, rich in additional...
Cons Battery life not the best around, bundled headphones could be better.
Recommended it? Yes

When my 128 Acer flash stick just proved to be too small to accommodate enough music for sustained listening, I have been on the lookout for a new mp3 player for quite some time now. However, I definitely wanted to avoid the iPod hype and get something a little more unique, something I won't see on... Read full review »

Great Audiobook Player

byjohnnykcpa Jan 31, 2009
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Audiobook friendly, bookmarks, size, sound quality.
Cons Somewhat confusing controls
Recommended it? Yes

My local library is now offering audiobook downloads, but IPOD and Zune are out, since they don't currently support DRM (digital rights management). This means buying another player in addition to the two IPODs we already have ! I wanted to listen to books on the go, but I'm not looking to spend a... Read full review »

A little iffy

bycarolinagirl98 Jan 19, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros sound quality, radio tuner and recorder, trendy appearance
Cons difficulty syncing with the computer, Creative Customer Service wasn't very helpful,...
Recommended it? No

This player looks trendy and it feels comfortable in my hand. It appears sturdy. Although I've heard complaints about the controls on the Microphoto, I personally like the controls. I had no trouble getting use to them and prefer them over the traditional toggle control that is on many Mp3 players... Read full review »

Nice Little Toy

byjared81477 Dec 21, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Small, Capacity, Recording, Aesthetics
Cons Small buttons
Recommended it? Yes

I'd had this player about 2.5 months now, and this is my 1st MP3 player that I've owned. Physical description - very small, think of an oldschool box of wooden matches & it is just a pinch bigger. It easily fits into a shirt pocket, but almost too small when it comes to using the buttons. Design -... Read full review »

Gives iPod a run for its money.

Pros Beautiful Display, excellent sound quality, cool controls, generous storage capacity.
Cons Touch controls can be hard to get the hang of at first.
Recommended it? Yes

If you are like me, you don't always want to fit in with the crowd. I have always wanted to have the things that stood out among what everyone else had. I used these instincts even when I started shopping for a MP3 player. I have nothing against iPod but i simply did not want to have the same thing... Read full review »

Stay away! Once it freezes, you're toast!

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros none
Cons Froze unexpectedly after just a few months, now cannot use!
Recommended it? No

I was really pleased with this player (though didn't like that you can't view photos & listen to music at the same time). After having it for just months, it froze on me - in the middle of a song, just stopped. I did a ton of research (and found lots of blogs with other people having the exact same...
