Rating: - * Creative Zen ... this mp3 is one of the best i've had...and i've had a few. it;s navigation is simple..easy to learn. the sound is wonderful.themes beautiful..the only downside is that it should have downloadable themes. but other that that..this is a must have. will make an excellent Christmas gift Rating: - * I love my Creative Zen ... Yeah, I like mine a lot. This thing is great. It's easy to put files in it and the sound is wonderful. I also bought some good computer speakers and when I'm at home I use it as my stereo. Works well if you do not need a lot from your stereo. I also take it to work everyday, where I can use the ear buds and listen to music and podcasts. I've also loaded it with lectures that I listen to. I have the 8g model and have a 8g HCSD card in it. I don't think the 16 g model had come out when I bought it. I'm very happy with it and can recommend it to anyone. There are a few things that I wish were better. 1) The Zen has a calendar, but there is no way to import date to it. I can't understand why they don't allow importing a CSV file with all the holidays and birthdays. 2)The memory card works well, you can play musics or videos from it. It would be a great benefit if you could delete or move files without having to plug it up to computer. Sometimes I download a bunch of songs to the card. If you play a song that you don't like, you can't delete it then and there. You have to remember the song, get to a computer, plug it in, and then delete it. 3) You can't create play lists from files on the memory card. It would be great if you could do play lists on the memory card.(Of course you can create play lists with songs that are on the main flash memory.) Rating: - * A nice, little, MP3 player ... I've had my Creative Zen for six months and I'm really enjoying it. This was my third MP3 player and my favorite by far. I have it fully loaded with a combination of music and video. Watching old eps of my favorite tv shows makes my hour-long bus ride to work more enjoyable. I've never had any problems with this player, but I'll admit that I don't try to do anything with it other than listen to music and watch videos. I haven't tried to put in an SD card or anything like that. I have a screen protector and a skin/cover on it so it's holding up really well despite being carried in my bag everywhere I go. If you're like me and are looking for an inexpensive player for every day music/video use then this is the player for you. Rating: - * Zentabous ... This small mp3 player exceededs my expectations. lots of room for stuff and works like a charm Rating: - * great product ... Does all it's supposed to. Debating whether to return it because of erratic keyboard button functioning.
