Creative ZEN V PLUS 80GB

Advantages: Small, easy to use, good pc software, superb battery life, FM radio tuner, DJ
Disadvantages: Headphones, pouch

...Right then, the Creative Zen V Plus 2GB is a very good player to me. I purchased this mp3+mp4 player just before Christmas and first impressions were great, instruction manual very useful so I got familiar with the player very quickly.

Advantages: Great sound, easy controlls, looks great!
Disadvantages: small screen to watch video's on.

With the 1GB version you can fit about 1000 songs on there and you can also store some video files and watch them (providing they are the correct format).

You can have multiple play modes consisting of shuffle, play all, repeat, repeat all. There is a cool... Read review
