Advantages: size, weight, storage, ease of use
Disadvantages: headphones and usb cable

This is my first Mp3 player, although my wife has an Ipod mini. Overall I have found it to be a fantastic little companion on the train, out walking or just for around the house. Good storage capacity at 8 meg, and the ability to add additional if required. Size and shape mean it fits easily into any pocket and you hardly know it's there. It really comes into it's own though in functionality and ease of use. Very easy to load using the software supplied, ...
...charged it has managed to outlast any trip I've made with it. It also has a nice little FM radio tuner built in. If I had to knock it for anything it would be the headphones aren't brilliant (but these are cheap to replace, the USB cable supplied is a little short (3 inches, but again can be replaced) and it isn't quite loud enough. All in all though it beats my wifes Ipod mini hands down. ... Read review

Advantages: Very good MP3
Disadvantages: non compatible with macs

...that the software on a Creative Zen would work with Mac computers and laptops. It won't and dont let any sales person tell you otherwise (like i did!) i have done so much research and there isnt one single way of being able to syncronize the two programmes/machines.

...as I can spot a Creative product due to it's slight inept design navigation. Not that the graphics are that bad, but visually I'm not too enamoured with Creatives approach to their product aesethics. Overall, the feel of the Vision: M is notably still stocky compared to the Apples' iPod. There is a TV output link up though personally, I have not tried out this facility, as yet. - Now, that important price - Retails for 189.99 GBP- For even great ... Read review
