How will you deal with all the attention?
The ZEN V Plus player was designed for people like youthose who walk a step or two ahead of the pack. So don't be surprised when people take notice of your cool, colorful music, photo and video player.

Tell them you carry up to 4,000 songs with you. Tell them you can watch video on the go. Show them just a handful of the photos you've stored on the pocket sized powerhouse. And tell them there's even more but they'll have to get their own.

Dangerous curves ahead!
ZEN V Plus is so tiny that it will fit into almost any pocket--jackets, purses and more. But don't let the size fool you. ZEN V Plus is packed with all the great features you desire.

Find your own way
Fill your tiny ZEN V Plus with up to 4,000 songs. Pull out your CD collection and rip your albums. Log on to the Internet and browse different music services for the songs you want. Download your favorite songs without paying for the whole album.

Plus, for a low monthly fee, you can join a subscription service and fill and refill your ZEN V Plus with new tunes everyday.

Enjoy the show
Now you don't have to just listen to your favorite songs, you can watch them! Your videos will look amazing on the stunning 1.5 inch color screen. Show off your favorite video clips of friends, vacations or cool skateboarding stunts. Rich, vibrant photos, album art, and menus burst to life.

Navigate all of your content with remarkable ease using the patented ZEN user interface. Your music, photos and videos are all available at your finger tips.

Mix it up
When in the mood for something different, simply use the built-in FM radio. Set up to 32 station presets so you can catch up on the latest sports results, listen to your favorite talk show, or navigate your way out of traffic problems down Route 66.

Avoid the Burnout
No need to burn CDs to your PC then download to your ZEN. Connect to the line-in jack on your ZEN, and record your CDs, records, beats and more. The automatic track detection will even separate each song for you.

Stay connected
Record notes, thoughts, and meetings using the built-in voice recorder. Sync your player's personal organizer with Microsoft Outlook to transfer your calendar, contacts and task list so you won't miss your important appointments and anniversaries.

Accessories
ZEN V Plus also has optional accessories available to fit your lifestyle. The stylish case or skin will help protect your player. You can power and charge your ZEN V Plus whenever you're away from your computer with power adapter. You may also consider moving up to one of Creative's premium sets of Aurvana headphones or earphones.

5 of 5 Love It! Tuesday, April 22, 2008
A Customer from Chicago, IL.  

Creative Zen V is easy to load. The music is sharp,the videos and pictures are clear. A really great product for the price. We have the higher priced sony and ipod mp3's also and this Zen V is just as good.Also tried the touch screen one from Coby and had to return it, too hard to load.

3 of 5 I expected better Monday, April 21, 2008
A Customer from Mesquite, TX  
Right out of the box, the unit had a black (unlit) line down the left side of the screen. It's not troublesome enough to send back for repair, so I try to ignore it and find myself annoyed. It downloads music faster than the last unit I had, but sometimes during play it freezes mid-song and has to be turned off and on again.

1 of 5 Don't Buy. Breaks Down Thursday, January 17, 2008
A Customer from NJ  
Don't buy this. Sure it works great at first, but after just a few months it broke down. First there was a line right down the middle of the screen. Next it started erratically switching into FM mode, back to music, back and forth, back and forth. You have to shut it down, and try again. Sometimes you have to reset with a paperclip. Finally the little button in the middle (Used to navigate) just cracked, and eventually fell apart. Now I have to use fingernail, pain in the a__! Don't buy this piece of junk. I will NEVER buy another product with the Creative label.

3 of 5 ZEN V 2GB Wednesday, January 02, 2008
A Customer from Bel Air, MD  
I really liked mine....(more on the use of 'liked', in the past tense). Great size, easy to use, good sound. But, mine "froze" after about 6 months. Seems to be a common problem, because the user instructions say to "insert a pin into the reset port to reset it." Needless to say, a pin is probably not the best thing to stick in an electronic device, but the only thing that will fit into the tiny port. Sadly, I don't have the proof of purchase after a recent move. I will replace it, but if it's only going to last 6 months, might as well get refurbished.

5 of 5 A hit with my wife! Thursday, December 27, 2007
A Customer from Waterloo, IA  
I got this for my wife for many of the features, but primarily because it was an MP3 player that sync'd with Outlook. She absolutely LOVES this little dynamite - even more than she loves my own iPod Nano!

5 of 5 Great Shopping Experience and Great Product! Saturday, April 28, 2007
Sean Palladino from Cinnaminson, NJ  
I just received the product, and after playing around with it for a couple of hours, I am very satisfied with my purchase. The player fits snuggly in my palm, and has a pretty big screen for such a small player. Some people might consider that startup a "little" to long, but I didn't really care about that. The music is, of course, separated into Album, Artist, and Song, and it also has Bookmarks. Now that is VERY useful! Since I enjoy podcasts and audiobooks, bookmarks allow me to save where ever I was in the music and turn off the player. The videos are pretty cool as well. Although I highly recommend that when you convert your videos to the player, you should "crop" the video to the frame size of player. Widescreen videos just seem WAY to small on this player. Same goes for photos as well. But most people aren't going to just use this player for videos/pictures, so it isn't that much of a problem. The FM radio had pretty good frequencies. The overall sound quality of the actual player was awesome. Crisp, clear audio, even for the FM radio. The voice recording quality was pretty good as well. I could hear voices that were probably 20-30 feet away from me, which is fairly good. Overall, I am VERY happy with the Creative Zen V Plus! Thanks Buy.com, and thanks Creative for giving me a chance to experience the BEST in portable music. :)

4 of 5 Excellent Player Monday, April 23, 2007
A Customer from Frazeysburg, Ohio  
This is a very good and easy to use mp3 player. It works very well except that it froze once when I was turning it off. Once I reset it it was back to normal. That is the only complaint I have for it. The joystick makes it very easy to navigate through the menus. The sound quality is also great.

4 of 5 A very good product Saturday, March 31, 2007
A Customer from boston, MA  
I bought this one from buy.com and as always it was delivered very quick. Pros - The product is excellent. Good sound quality and a nice colored interface. The capability of playing video clips is an added bonus over ipod nano. Also a dedicated volume button on the side is very convenient. The looks are eyecatcher, and i have been complemented so many times for it. cons - freezes if you try to do many things together, especially while playing the radio if you try to quickly switch. The radio is difficult to set and not clear, the automatic setup is absolutely useless and it takes long to set up manually and its complicated. headphones are not of a great quality, the padding came out within 10 days of use. the display is impossible to read in sunlight. In all, it is a great player which serves its purpose.

5 of 5 A Great Product Sunday, March 18, 2007
A Customer from Woodland Park, CO  
I'm new to the world of MP3 players and couldn't afford an iPod. I'm glad I found the Creative Zen! It was so easy to install the software and transferring music was a breeze! It also has a radio player built in, which I was looking for! I just wish it came with it's own instruction manual instead of having to go to the computer when I have a question!

5 of 5 Love it! Sunday, March 11, 2007
A Customer from Ft Belvoir, VA  
So far, I love my new MP3 player! It is cute, small, light weight, and sooo easy to use! I even was able to use Music Match software to load my playlists that I already had on my computer! I haven't used it yet for pics and videos. I think the sound quality is incredible and battery life has worked out fine for me! Only re-charged it a couple of times in 2 weeks! I feel I got a very good quality product for a very nice price!

5 of 5 Everything Else vs. iPod Thursday, March 01, 2007
epuro@indiana.edu from Bloomington, IN  
This product is absolutely amazing! It shows just how bad the iPod nano or any other iPod really is. It costs about half of the nano and has a bigger screen, more memory space devoted to songs (which is why your buying it), arguably better compatibility with WM or Musicmatch then the iPod is with iTunes, has PDA functions, the ability to make a play list on the go, and has many better features you just have to find for yourself. The only thing that the iPod is better at is fooling mindless people into buying their overrated product.

5 of 5 Nice mp3 player Thursday, March 01, 2007
Cristian from Naperville,IL  
I'll start with the cons: start-up time is a little longer than I expected; you can only recharge it from a usb port; with all the features you have available (mp3, photos and video player),2 GB may not be enough for all your needs (consider the 4 GB version); to delete a file, you have to connect it to a computer; funny, but I can't find a way to set the time for my unit's clock; Pros: slick unit, very good quality overall, easy to use, superior sound quality, good microphone, nice screen.

5 of 5 Nice cute player Thursday, February 22, 2007
ian from honolulu, hawaii  
Great alternative for an ipod nano. I think it a steal for the price! It is a bit on the tiny side, no fat fingers here. The joystick is best manipulated with a finger nail. I also like that it can sync MS Outlook files. You can't edit the info but atleast you can see your calander and contacts.
