... ...year (2007). I'm not a Creative fan as they seem to miss out on the boat regards to product style and of course the highly sought after nano technology. Creative does have a nano-ness branding yet still seems to fall at a couple of hurdles such as the weight. On average Creative is 8 grammes more heavier than Apples' iPod. The other hurdle is the 'trouser test' iPod's generally are unseen in the pockets, yet this model certainly is visable. Overall, ...

Advantages: Great Cheap Player Disadvantages: None
...about my MP3/MP4 player the Creative Zen V Plus 1 GB which I have now owned for about a year. It goes everywhere with me from travelling to the office to family holidays where I find it ideal for listening to my music which I have downloaded to my PC and then transferred over and even watching video clips and music videos that I have downloaded. The only down side is the amount of video I can save is never quite enough and there is no way to increase ... ...I must say that the Creative Zen is very tough as I have dropped it quite a few times and this has resulted in no damage at all which is great and makes it very durable. The sound quality is very good and better than many MP3/MP4 players that I have trialled and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced MP3/MP4 player that is of good quality and look's good.
Transferring your music to the player is very easy using a USB ...

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use Disadvantages: Not as fashionable as its main rival
...your MP3 player, but the Creative Zen could be a far better option than its Apple cousin.
So heres the scenario. You want an MP3 player that basically works the same as an Ipod. Whereby it neatly organises your music into sections, where changing between tracks is effortless and quick, where you can store plenty of your favourite songs. However, the Ipod Nano, which is essentially the Zen's most relevant rival, is a little bit out of your league ... ...I came across the Creative Zen. It appeared to be very similar to the Nano. The basic setup was the same, tracks were organised into artist, albums, etc. In fact it appeared exactly the same as the Itunes system on my ROKR. It won me over. For the sake of £50 (£20 cheaper than the equivalent Nano, enough for a few beers on the way home) I thought it was worth a try.
Naturally, being a poor student, I plumped for the 1GB version. To be perfectly ...

Advantages: Great sound, easy controlls, looks great! Disadvantages: small screen to watch video's on.
This Creative Zen V Plus is a stylish little mp3 player that is very handy and looks very nice. 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).
The controll system mainly consists of a play/pause button, a stop button and a stick that allows you to controll left,right,up,down and select. Also there is an on off button on the side and a volume ... ...are very neat and are extreamly easy to use.
In the menu you have options for music, video, picture, settings, now playing and a extras menu. In music you can select to browse by artist, album or just have a list of all the songs. You can have multiple play modes consisting of shuffle, play all, repeat, repeat all. There is a cool equaliser to select how you want your music to sound.
The sound quality is very good and you do get a very good mp3 ...

Advantages: colour screen, ease of use, cool extra features, synchronisation, incredible sound Disadvantages: no touch pad, high tech requirements
...the overhyped iPod. Considering that Creative is a company that specialises in sound technology and is the producer of sound cards, sound software (such as the Audio Blaster) and so on, it has a definite advantage over a company whose primary product is computers. The player itself is a work of art. It is absolutely tiny, with an attractive sleek colour-coded design. The buttons are also rather cleverly arranged. The only disadvantage is perhaps ... ...me remind you again that Creative specialise in sound technology). You can set a volume control that stops you from turning the volume up to a certain amount, as well as equalizer settings. The only bad thing about the player is that you would need an up-to-date computer to be able to install it, as it requires a high-speed USB port to be able to charge and put files on the player. Installation of Windows Media Player 10 and Creative MediaSource ...

Advantages: Small, well designed, good features Disadvantages: Badly designed headphones
I bought this after my boyfriends MP3Man broke and I was pleasantly surprsed by the quality and features of this little thing! 1. The Design
Small, sleek and compact it fits easily in your pocket. The navigation and screen are easy to use and readable. It comes with a velvet pouch which I have used to keep it in and headphones.
2. The Storage
I bought the 1GB version as it was the cheapest but it is still plenty of room for more than enough songs. ... ...using the provided software or using the device as an external harddisk. 3. Features
For a cheap MP3 player, it boasts some great features such as personalised backgrounds and colours, creation of playlists and a microphone for voice recordings. 4. Problems?
I have only had two problems with this MP3. The headphones are not great quality. They broke after a week of use, so I have since been using IPod headphones which have stood up much better ...

...or 4 colour trims. Creative have been very intelligent and sctually related this colour to the capacity of the Zen v.
It is smaller than any other of the Zen players, and it's also very comfortable to hold and have in your pocket. One way to describe it? I'd say elegant.
Zen V models aretwice as thick as the iPod Nano, they are shorter, just as light, and just feel right in yuor hand. A small joystick and buttons control navigation.

The screen 1.5" which I think is a little small, however, if you're not bothered about the size of screen and are more interested in having music and a small amount of pictures then this doesn't matter. Also the screen is easily viewable inside, but outdoors it is hard to see.
The battery life says it's 15 hours, but to be honest, I don't really think ...

Advantages: Small size, bright and colourful screen, good quality, good PC software included Disadvantages: Small size MAY mean its harder to navigate (if youve got bigger hands like mine), reset button
I got my 1gb (black and orange) Zen v player as a christmas present and have really enjoyed it. It is compact and fairly easy to navigate around. however, i dont like the lack of buttons - in my experience its easy to slip your thumb slightly and change to the next song in the playlist or whatever youre doing, as you could imagine this is fustrating but only happens on occasions. I do have to say that although the earphones with the player are good ... ...and needed to be fustratingly corevered back over which can be awkward. However, i love the picture feature on it. The screen is quite big considering the size of the player and is colourful meaning i can show pictures to my friends nicely with it. Music fanaitcs like me and have tons of songs may be slightly fustrated as this version can only hold 1 GB's work but there are bigger memory versions that you can get. Another slight issue with it is ...
