I use and love the rhapsody subscription music service. This player works well with the service, sounds great and has other excellent features. Most notably is that you can create play lists on the device and also use it like a juke box. The combination of quality and features sets it apart from just about any small player. I have not tried to watch videos on it yet. I highly recommend this device for people who use subscription music services.

This is easy to use. Anyone can convert Music to any MP3 format with the Creative software. The software converts your disc's, names the album, names the tracks, and loads the music files to the player by genre with a description of everthing displayed on the easy to read screen.You can mix the formats, WMA, WAV, MP3 etc. it's compatible with Itunes. You can create play lists or just random play all the music files on the player. I have almost 300 songs and have used 1 gig of the 16 gig drive, I have a 16 gig SDHC Card on the way. This will double the capacity of 4000 songs/files to 8000 or allow a lot of video files. The battery charges quickly from the supplied USB download cable, but the first accessories should be the AC Adapter for $30, then the Screen Protectors $8.00, the Armband $15.00, and the Car Charger $15.00 is a real handy item.

I researched MP3 players for quite awhile before I decided on the Zen. I first bought the 8gb but found it wasn't big enough for my needs. I gave that to my son and got the 16gb. It holds all the music that I need and room to spare. I love everything about it and it does everything I want it to do.I was not able to find that in any other machine. It's the 3rd Creative that I have had and I have liked them all. I don't know why I looked around so much I should have just gone to Creative in the first place. I also bought a Zen V Plus 4gb for another son and he likes that too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Zen to anybody.

I was a little hesitant to pick this over an iPod Nano, but I'm SO glad that I got it. The letter browsing feature is great and I love the additional storage that I got over an iPod. I would definitely buy it again.

The Creative Zen is wonderful. It looks exactly as pictured, about the size of a credit card. The directions for use were somewhat confusing but I figured it out just by playing around with the system. Charging up is simple, just connect it to your laptop or PC via USB. I'm glad I made the decision to purchase this product. Thanks Buy.com for offering this product at a reasonable price.

The player worked for about a week, then would not be recognized by my Vista laptop. Creative was no help, They have no toll-free support; and their e-mails are condesending and insult my intelligence. The last time I buy a Creative product.

I do not have much experience with MP3's to compare it to, but this player puts out some very nice sound and volume when necessary. The user interface is very easy for rookies to use. I would highly recommend it. 16 GB with an expansion slot for more if necessary. I will have to buy a lot more music just to use the 16 GBs. Buy.com had a great price and fast delivery.

Menu's are intuitive, very nicely laid out. Player is very thin and very small, it's not in the nano size but it definitely can fit in your pocket. Accompanying transfer software is really light, no bulky converting, easy c/p to designated folders in player from computer. Video converting software is not the best, if you do some research you should be able to find something that will do this portion better then what creative supplies. Expandable memory is a plus but is an added section, your player will not see 16 + 4gb as 20gb, it sees 16gb alone and 4gb separately, not a big deal organizational wise. Overall two thumbs up for a compact and easy to use player, great value!

pros:<BR> -bright LCD screen even on 50%, and it's pretty big for this tiny player<BR> -Zen Media Explorer Program is drag-and-drop available & user friendly.<BR> -Zencast Organizer is user friendly<BR> -A reset button just in case it gets stuck (unlike iPod)<BR> -great sound<BR> -sd card slot for extended memory<BR> -free zencast videos & sound files<BR> -small and light<BR> -can be charged with blackberry charger<BR> -FM Radio<BR> -Different color themes<BR> -supports different languages ( I know ipod does too, but some others don't)<BR><BR> Cons:<BR> -video converter is pretty slow, but it works nevertheless, and using winavi to convert doesn't work.<BR> -I don't like the syncing program because the artist and title become "<unknown>." I probably just don't know how to use it correctly, but since it's drag and drop available, it's ok and I'm happy with it.<BR> -the entire usb cable from head to toe is about 3in. This is not bad for me, but it may be bad for people who don't have laptops<BR><BR> I haven't had this mp3 player long enough to experience the battery life. I had the zen sleek photo before this, and the programs are pretty much the same which I am happy about. <BR><BR> Yea it will probably get stuck, but I'm pretty sure NOT constantly. I had my zen sleek for two years now, and it only gets stuck once every 3-4 months. It's not that serious. Have a safety pin with you at all costs.<BR><BR> Make sure to buy a case because the player face smudges easily.<BR><BR> Zencast is pretty cool, and it's free. There are tons of videos and sound files on there.<BR><BR> I know I will love this player as much as my Zen Sleek.

I bought this product with high expectations, most of which were met. For substantially less money than comparable players made by other companies, it provides good quality audio and video. My only gripes are that transfer times for video were higher than I expected, and it takes longer to scroll to specific points in audiobooks using the Zen's buttons than my old iPod's touch wheel

The compact size is easy to throw in your pocket and possibly lose it if you are not careful of where you put it last! Great sound and it is nice to have a standard mini USB connector for the road. The software is easy but, hopefully, on new releases they will make the features more extensive. For example, making playlists on the player is very limiting and you cannot add to a current playlist that has all ready been created (?) It should have the ability to add any track you are listening to but no, you have to be in a certain mode to add a track to the "selected" list and then create another playlist - very awkward. The SDHC slot (tested up to 8GB) is a nice touch for sure but it doesn't integrate any features of the regular player into it so it is like accessing a separate player with even fewer options (you can't even delete a track, for example) You can add to the player off of it but it has to be the whole thing or nothing at all. All in all it is a nice player with a good size screen for videos and pictures and I'm glad I got it.

It is a very nice MP3 player. Has an excellant viewing screen and the sound quality is great! Only drawback is that the filmware that is in the player should be updated before sent out to the customer or at least tell the customer that he needs to update the filmware before using the player. I spent many hours trying to figure that out before I got my Creative Zen to work right. The FM Radio feature work great!

I just recently purchased my first MP3 player and I respectfully chose the Zen and I am not having a single problem with it! You pay a low price (in a sense) for a ton of space, a reliable brand and get this; you don't even have to install a program to transfer songs/videos/pictures onto it! They have a CD with it, but you can simply click & drag! I'm taking extra care of this thing, but I do suggest one thing for those who hate earbud headphones; buy yourself some DJ headphones or any cup headphones.

i bought the creative because i believe it's a better value than the ipod touch and with the sd slot has a higher capacity than the ipod touch the sound quality is exceptional as with all creative products. great features, exceptional value for the money.

Works well, a little larger than I thought. Controlls a bit different than my other Creative products, however, getting to know what does what. I would recommend buying this product.

This product worked fine right out of the box. The controls are easy to manipulate ... the sounds quality is great ... and the screen is easily viewed in all sorts of lighting. I bought this mainly for the small size and the storage space and I'm not at all disappointed. I use Yahoo Music Unlimited and I was concerned as to whether or not it was compatible as it's not on Yahoo's list as being able to transfer music files out of the box without downloading firmware updates and I was unable to get a definitive answer from Yahoo, but Yahoo did immediately recognize it and loading files to the Zen was a breeze. I really bought this for listening to music and haven't used it for videos yet.
