Advantages: Good sound quality
Disadvantages: Outdated OLED display, small joystick

...better off looking at another Creative player or even another brand. It does not seem to have the sleak appeal of other products on the market. Sound quality appears to be of a good standard however this does not make up for its weaknesses in other areas. The joystick is fairly small and has a cheap plastic feel to it. With the screen viewing in the sunlight would be difficult. For anyone looking for an mp3 with great sound and an average price this ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, Simplistic, Attractive, Affordable.
Disadvantages: Screen easily scratched

...to replace the in ear creative headphones that are supplied with the Nano, as a better sound quality will be achieved with a better quality set of headphones. The MP3 player will play WMA files as well as MP3 files. It also includes a radio and many different sound equilliser features, including a custom setting to suit your needs. The MP3 player will also allow you to record short audio tracks with the built-in microphone. I would also advise those ...
...a rechargable battery, as you will really notice the difference in play time, depending on the qualitly on the battery, of course! This will hold anything upto 250 songs. (more or less depending on the length and size of the song) It comes with a CD-Rom which will give you all the information you'll need to know, as well as the instruction booklet included in the Box. Placing songs onto the MP3 player couldn't be easier. Simply plug the device into ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, Sturdy, Lightweight, Easy to use
Disadvantages: CD Ripping quality terrible

...be fooled by this feature creative have so generously decided to add. The quality is absolutely appalling, and unless you like your music hissing like an angry cat, its not recommended you buy solely for this feature. ---Upgradeable firmware comes as standard with the player, and it should be noted that some of the problems of sound quality and ripping copy protected cd's can be solved by an upgrade in firmware--- The buzzing backlight: Ahh the ...
...honest, there IS a buzz, but not quite so bad as the majority of people make out. Its barely audible (unless you prefer to stick the player in your ear and listen rather then the headphones), and if you dont like it, you can switch the backlight off! The FM radio is a pain really, as if it were not for this, the player would get a high review. Reception is not good, not good at all. Perhaps if you were standing on the top of canary wharf I might ... Read review

Advantages: Fm radio
Disadvantages: Size

The creative zen was my alternative to the the mini ipod. I got this a while back and im still pleased with it, It seems so much tougher than other mp3 players and with its added features like Fm radio it comes no suprise that some people look first to the zen. The display and sound qualtiy is awsome and although has froze a few times still works perfectly. It comes now alot cheaper than its rivals in the market but many people will be offput by ...
...be a little bigger than its rivals but its still light and is able to fit into small spaces just like your i-rivers and your ipods. The headphones supplied with my zen were brilliant i even use them when its raining and water drops onto it and its still working fine . The sound is rich and refined. Brilliant buy ... Read review

Advantages: slim, compact, portable, weight, easy to use
Disadvantages: battery cover a little flimsy

...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 ...
...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. ... Read review
