User Submitted Creative Zen 16 GB Portable Media Player (Black) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-12-16 Awesome I can't get the radio to work on it but I love it anyway. It's way better than the Creative Micro I had. I love it!! Date: 2008-12-15 Creative Zen Creativly out does 1st generation Ipod The Creative Zen 32G Portable media player is handsdown the best flash based player on the market. The Generous 32 Gb internal Flash memeory will hold even the largest collection of Music, videos, pictures or even documents. Its ability for adding storage capacity with SD card Expansion is a huge Plus, I store all of my Web casts (OWKA "podcasts") music on the player and have afew movies and Pictures on a seperate4 gb SD card, The screen is a crisp vibrant display that suprisingly is not hard on the eyes while watching a movie or a kids show while waiting in a waiting room. I can carry gb's of photos around to brag about my beautiful family. The Video convert included in the software flawlessly converts Videoa to formats viewable on the Zen, you can download purchased movies and convert them for viewing on the Zen. One of the best features of theZen and most of Creatives products is it's ease of use. To add media you simple plug the player in to USB and drag and drop media through Windows Explorer. There isn't really even a need to use Zens included desktop software although in order to conver videos you will need the software. It converts a nd supports All music formats no need for Itunes, it's light weight, sleek design is an eye catcher. My previous MP3 player is a creative I bought 5 years ago, it is still running strong, i use it for exercise as it is designed to be moisture resistant and is rugged, the Creative Zen 32g is not designed to take a beating in a gym or on an outdoor exercsion, although there are accessories that do add protection, I love it for the media capabilities long battery life and user interface. It even has an FM tuner! For the money in my opinion Creative makes a better product with more features than I-Pod. Creative even has their own Web cast site named ZENCASTs, I down load all my tech, travel and Language Webcasts for lsitening anywhere I chose, the software that accompanies the Zen allows for easy organization of favorite Web casts. Creative makes a reliable product a very stable and versatile functioning smart device, I highly reccomend Creative products especially the Creative Zen 32g My Playlist summary- **Webcasts ( Zencasts)-all downloaded free via Zencast or TWIT.TV Leo Laporte The Tech Guy Jumping Monkeys Travel by Rick steves Japanese language The Week In Tech National Geographic videoa CNETs Buzz outloud tech news & revews Wild ANimal Chronicals ***My Music favorites ColdPlay Barenaked ladies Snowpatrol Kaeli'i Rachel One republic Blue October Billy Joel Chicago Boston Five for Fighting Good Charlotte IZ Josh Groban Green day Lifehouse Na Leo Sugar Ray Tear For Fears Bon Jovi The Killers U2 Tube Weezer WhiteHeart Petra Chopin Classical Yuzu ***Movies Curious George- ( I have to Young kids & yes Ilike the movie) The Italian Job Date: 2008-12-14 Zen 16 Media Player great high fidelity I purchased the Zen because I have had excellent experience with Creative Labs products . They have a deep history in manufacturing great sound cards at low prices. In this respect ...playback of audio tracks in the the .wav file/16bit format [CD format] did not disappoint ; as a matter of fact , it has been the best I have heard among MP3 players....the only qualifier is the new Sony player ...which has the additional noise cancelling feature (the Zen does not). However, if you purchase the higher quality earphones with noise cancelling...the results would probably be the same. My only complaint is the Zen software: it lacks the flexibility to re-edit or re-order your sound files in an easy manner. ...I found myself...having to delete my playlist folders several times...and reloading the Zen folder files so the playlist folders were sequenced in the way I wanted them. This process of learning "how -to" was a steep learning curve in time! So, Creative Labs improve the software! Despite this, I would recommend it ...but on the expectations that Creative Labs will provide software upgrades! Date: 2008-12-13 Worked for a little over 7 months I bought this product as a gift for my cousin in India from Amazon on Apr 25, 08 and it stopped working in a little over 7 months. The screen stays black even when the device is powered on. Now creative tech support says we need to ship the product to Singapore at our own cost for their service center to take a look at it. The only reason I'm not giving it a single star is it worked well for these seven months (my cousin was happy with it's performance) and it's possible I might have just been unlucky. Date: 2008-12-13 very bad review, not very happy at all with delivery or product... I could not believe the way this product was packaged or the condition of the zen was not at all what I was expecting.I will not buy anything from them again...
