I bought a creative zen 4GB because i wanted a good quality mp3 player, which held a decent amount of music, but i wasnt particularly bothered about getting an iPod, because i think theyre a bit overpriced. i chose the 4GB because i dont have loads of music, but wanted something which held a decent amount.

What i really liked about the Zen V when i was looking to buy something was its clear screen, which is a feature of the iPod which i like, and i also think its quite well priced.

when i got the Zen, i wasn´t disappointed! it looks good, its small, lightweight, and very easy to carry around. A lot of my friends who have iPods complain that they scratch easily, but ive had my zen nearly 2 months, and its taken a few knocks and is well used, but still looks like new.

It comes with head phones, but they have foam bits on them, which i dont really like, but i took them off and now they´re ok. They still dont stay in my ears very well though, but that could just be me! some people may prefer to buy different ones.

The actual mp3 itself is easy to use, its all fairly self explanatory. It comes with its own software, but once I´d loaded that I found that it actually syncs really easily with Windows Media Player, which was great for me because all my music is in that. Just be careful you dont do what I did and sync it with its own software before realising it syncs with media player, otherwise you end up with 2 of everything!

The ability to put pictures on it is a nice touch, though i can say it´ll be something i´ll really use. What it is good for though is being able to use your own picture as a background, rather than the ones that come with the player.

I like all the functions on the Zen V, its easy to search for tracks and albums, though the buttons could do with being not quite so stiff.
In the DJ section i particularly like the most popular and rarely heard playlists, whcih lets you listen to a random selection of songs. The only bad thing here is on random play all, it tends to repeat itself a lot, and some things seem to never get played!

The only other downside is that unlike the iPod, theres not that many accesories available for the ZenV. The portable speakers which dock and charge it are over 50 GBP, which to me seems a lot.

Overall, the Zen V is great, i definitely recommend it, and would say its a good alternative to the iPod.

The Zen V.. the Ipods biggest threat?
Review of Creative ZEN V 4 GB by Leopardskinny

Advantages: Great sound, stores planty of tracks, cheap for what it is, generally great!
Disadvantages: Buttons could be a bit more responsive.

A few of you may have read about my previous encounter with Zen players. Maybe not all that succesful, but it was good while it lasted! Ordering a new player, I decided to stick with Creative. Seeing this new, smaller model, I quickly purchased. The first thing I noticed was that the basic appearance had changed drastically. No more touch- sensitive controls, which I admit I see as a good and bad thing. The touch scroller on the previous ZEN made ...
...control. With the new joystick and side buttons, I feel I'm much more in control of the music I'm selecting to play. One negative aspect of the buttons was that I felt that I had to press down too hard just to get a reponse. Maybe they should be a little more sensitive? After all, the player does come with a keypad lock feature! It takes a lot longer to scroll down your music lists, and when you have as much music as I do (self confessed music junkie!) ...

ZEN V Review
Review of Creative ZEN V 4 GB by Razzmond

Advantages: Good Snug Size, Fantastic Acoustics
Disadvantages: Screen is a little too small, Joystick is a little too small

I bought my mother one of these as her MP3 was shoddy and had bad battery life. I expected worse and received a fantastic MP3 player with great battery life and great sound. It has a cosy rounded shape with a screen that isnt too bad for showing photos. BUT dont be fooled by its quality of definition by looking at the above pictures. Its nowhere near as perfect as that as the screen is only 1 and a half inches. The equalizer is fantastic and would ...
...their acoustic ability. Its a good little MP3 player and there have been no problems with it, but I wouldnt recommend it to anyone with large fingers as the joystick is a little too small for the likes of us ladies and gentlemen. To sum up - It's nice to finally have a good MP3 player that looks great and doesnt have touch sensitive everything. ... Read review

Disadvantages: nothing

This cute mp3 player has everything you need on it all whilst being able to fit in the palm of your hand! This glossy black and blue has loads of features, including date, time, photo viewer and lots more.

Features: You can look at your photos or pictures if you have synched them to your player, and there are many pictures already preloaded onto this. You can change the date and time, and even set an alarm. This mp3 player features a microphone, so you can record voice, or other things. This is one of the best mp3 players I have ever had with its ... Read review

Good while it lasted, but unreliable.
Review of Creative ZEN V 4 GB by Andyfield

Advantages: Good sound quality, small and light
Disadvantages: Unreliable

I bought this product as it had everything that I was looking for; good sound quality, plays video, has an fm radio and easy to use. However the screen was small, but that didnt matter as the whole device was so small and some sacrifices needed to be made to achieve that. The first Zen V+ I had only lasted about 2 months untill the screen started fading untill it turned completely black. I sent it back and got another one, this lasted less than half ...
...so that I could not press it so i gave up and tried a different mp3 player and I am still using it now, with no problems. So I doubt it was the way I was treating it. It might just have been coincidence but I would not risk buying another one, knowing that it might break. Otherwise it was a good mp3 player. ... Read review

Alot better than its rivals
Review of Creative ZEN V 4 GB by skinnyman9000

Advantages: Small, lighweight, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: Poor headphones

If you count my mobiles, this is the 4th mp3 player i have owned, and is by far the best. I used to own an Ipod nano, but i got sick of the poor battery and the dreadful programme that is iTunes. I wanted a good quality of sound from my mp3 player, and this one delivers. The sound in comparison to similar options is immense!! Although i would recommend purchasing some better headphones, and these ones are not great. The unit is very small and light ...
...need it to. The screen is of good quality, and the buttons are responsive. Also, it is very easy to put music onto, its simply a matter of 'drag and drop', like most PC based applications. The only downsides for me are the fact that the installation software takes far too long to install, and due to how like it is the unit almost feels tacky and cheap, but this certainly is NOT the case. ...
