I wanted lightweight, compact and funky (I bought the purple version) for using at the gym. The 1GB size means that I can have a variety of music for all my different sessions throughout my gym routine, form warming up, to aerobic, to cardio through weights and to cooling down, without having to listen to the same track over and over - the only repetitions I want are with my abs!
I do find that the buttons can be a little fiddly to use, but other than that this is the perfect mp3 player for me. Its small enough that it can easily be held in a creative armband and not get in the way at the gym, and the headphones are really comfy.
About a month after I bought my player, the battery cover clip did break, but I got straight on to Creative and they sent me out a replacement part with no hassle at all (fantastic customer service!)
The batteries seem to last for far longer than the 18 hours stated - my current battery is now upto about 23 hours old and still going strong (although thats been over gym sessions rather than continuous playback)
The radio is a great additional feature, and used quite often when I'm out and about with the dogs walking them.
I found the software easy to use (I'm not very good at technical things generally) and can easily transfer music from our pc to the player - it holds about 100 mp3 tracks (no idea about wma capacity as I only use mp3), so its not for holding a serious amount of music but then we do have a larger mp3 player for that as well (A creative zen jukebox 20MB)
I highly recommend the zen creative nano plus player.
