MP3 Player

Bought it to use while traveling. I download audio books to listen to while I am driving. Works well. Screen is a little hard to see.

MP3 Buyers Beware!

I purchased this product in December 2005 and began having problems shortly thereafter. It began when the product started powering off after a few seconds of play and now it won't power on at all. All the "fixes" that Creative suggested did not work and they want me to pay them more money to diagnose the problem. There is a major flaw in this product which probably explains why it is now listed on Amazon for about 50% less than I paid for it just a few short months ago. I refuse to give up any more of my cash on such an inferior product. Amazon please stop selling this product to unsuspecting consumers and offer to refund the purchase price to those of us who have already been ripped off!

Great MP3 player if you want your player to not play music

It stopped working for no reason at all (beside it being junk) after just one month. Creative also wants ME to foot the repair bill. No thanks, but I'd rather throw it away than send these con-artists any more of my money. It could happen to you.

I have a question

I was wondering if anyone has used the voice recorder on this MP3 player. I need to record a lot of lectures so I was wondering how good the quality of the recording is on the Zen player. What has other people's experience been like? And how many hours of audio recording can you save on the player?

Great, except for the....

Little latch that hold the battery door broke off! Other than that I would say it's the best mp3 player I've ever had, and I've had plenty! It's small, lightweight, uses replaceable batteries, has good sound, does audible books, never crashes, takes a licking and keeps on ticking, HAS DRAG AND DROP FILE TRANSFER, and lasts forever (I've had mine for about 2 years of constant daily use at work!) I kind of wish it would die so I could upgrade, LOL! The Nano could be improved, however. It could be louder (make sure you record at a high level!) It could have a better scroll button (it's kind of hard to advance to the next song without bringing up the menu)! The battery door WILL break after enough time! Could have better earbuds (they are WAY too big for my ears and fall out quickly!) The voice recording should give you a better choice of format (wav files are SO big, I would like to have voice recording at like 32kps mp3.) I would like to upgrade to a 2 gig model of some kind, but I'm afraid whatever I buy will give me grief, like most of the other mp3 players I've had. Maybe I'll just upgrade to the 1gb creative nano, although I would like to like the Apple Nano Ipod. I'm just afraid I will be disappointed in the Nano like I was when I bought a 10gb Ipod. It was supposed to be SO great and all that, and I was really disappointed. I've looked at Cowon, Iriver, Samsung, Toshiba, Sandisk, Olympus m:robe, Apple, Creative Zen, and many others, and I just can't find one that has the features I want like the Creative Nano! It really is hard to beat the Creative Nano. The one that does come closest is the Nano Ipod, though it is 50% more expensive (doesn't Creative care about them stealing the Nano name?) I like the sturdy construction, the sex appeal, the color screen, and GUI of the Ipod. I dont like the nonreplaceable battery, having to use Itunes, and the fact that it's an Apple product. Hmmm.
