I've always been interested in these ... ...this year (2007). I'm no Creative fan as they seem to miss out on the boat regards to style and nano technology. The feel of the PMP is notably clumsier than ipods from Apple. Though functionally very astute and slick. My interpretation on this MP3 player reminds me of the first pace-maker in the mid 1990's. Sorry Creative, your still lagging behind on this matter. Yes you have rounded the edges off nicely and the glossy colours do this product proud ...

Advantages: Stylish, compact and great sound. Disadvantages: Sometimes freezes, screen quality.
When I first saw it I thought it was good looking and cute. Its plastic makes it very smooth and ergonomic. I bought it from Currys for £40 I think. The menu is easy to use and although small, the joystick is very easy to use aswell. The earphones in the box are okay but I'd rather use my Sennheisers. The software is okay but when transferring songs I use Windows Media Player, just drag and drop. The line in feature is good too but you can't rename ... ...songs but if you are desperate then line-in and record. Making playlists is fairly easy but naming them takes alot of time. You enter one letter at a time, each time goeing up or down a very long list of letters. It displays album art only if you have them in Windows Media Player. I had a problem with them as they kept dissapearing after transferring more songs onto the mp3, they still do. I have to perform a clean-up to get them back. Also, the ...

Advantages: Small and light but still packs memory and battery power Disadvantages: Screen smudges easily
The good things about this mp3 player is that it is very small and light but also packs a 8GB memory. The display also offers great detail on such a small screen but can be hard to read in bright light and although the player can play videos, this function is pretty much useless because the screen is so small. The casing material can very easily smudge with finger prints but atleast you will never see scratches, makes the constant wiping acceptable. ... ...makes this player very reliable and it is easily charged through usb to a PC, it cannot play music while charging.
The navigational stick and buttons are very simple and requires virtually no time to get use to.
You can also record directly onto it without using a PC. It has a line in so that cd's can be put onto it through this. And it also has a built in microphone.
The player can not just store video, music and pictures but you can also dedicate ...

Advantages: Small, durable, great sound quality, easy to use Disadvantages: I found none..
The creative zen, a perfect mix between functionality, design and durability. All be it slightly bulkier than the well known 'ipod', this doesnt prevent the creative zen from being just as good if not better I feel that ipods are old and the creative bring a new side to mp3 players. It is very easy to use, with seperate categories for artists, albums, single tracks, albums, and then other categories for pictures, radio, and tools. The creative zen ... ...be very good on the creative zen especially when the volume is at the highest with a large amount of base aswell. Finally, the software included with the mp3 player to allow you to transfer files to your mp3 player is extremely simple for even the least clued up about computers can use this easily.
One other bonus of this is that these can be bought quite cheaply now so it makes the deal even sweeter! ...

...to do with interference. The only other problem is that it very occasionally freezes, which is a problem I had with previous creative mp3 players that I've owned. It's easily fixed by resetting, but can be a bit annoying if you're out and about and don't have a pin handy... ...

Advantages: Colour screen, robust Disadvantages: battery life
Why follow the crowd and buy an ipod when you can have so much more for your money, 8MB storage, colour screen, video, sound recording etc. This mp3 player is very robust and does not seem to get scratched even plonked in a bag with no case. I have had mine for over a year and it still looks like new. It is easy to use although the scroll down could be faster. The colour screen is small but very readily visible. Battery life is very good unless the ... ...switching between albums will drain the battery very quickly. Overall it is a very nice little player, sits nicely in the hand and is nice and small. In fact I like it so much that if I were to manage to break it tomorrow I would replace it with another of the same. ...

Quick review of Creative ZEN V Plus 8 GB
This is an excellent little music player, verry stylish and easy to use, good little quality screen on it all accompanied by a brilliant set of headphones. The fact that something this small and light can play Video's is also a brilliant thing although I wouldnt like to watch them for too long. ...

Advantages: Smart / reliable / Sharply designed Disadvantages: Only 8GB
The creative Zen V Plus, is one of those rare items that looks good, sounds good and can stand the test of time. There is a brilliant feel when holding one, and its smart, sophisticated yet its 'gadgety' feel, proves never to fade away. The Zen is perfectly reliable and as quick loading songs after a year as when it was brand new. It is literally 'creative' and jazzy in its appearance, yet conventionally is still the most popular design for music ...

Advantages: Very portable, great battery life and strong coloured screen Disadvantages: Very easy to pick up finger prints, the scrollstick is small
My third MP3 player after two archos's. Things i notice about this are the very good battery life (12-15 hours), no bugs in the OS, and a very nice bright screen. The 8gb memory is generous especially considering the very reasonable price. As it is a V plus it supports videos although the is rendered useless due to the small screen that also is sometimes hard to read in bright conditions. This is a minor fault though. The material its made out of ... ...to people like myself constantly cleaning it but againt this is a minor problem. The autosync capabilities with WM10 is as good if not better than any version of itunes. Another downpoint is the small navigational stick but this is quite easy to get used to and the rest of the buttons are very good and well placed. I would definately reccomend it and the flash memory makes this a better choice than players of similar capacities. Oh yes I almost forgot. ...

Advantages: outstanding looks, sleek and subtle design, easily accessable buttons and fast loading screens, quite literally idiot proof Disadvantages: the screen is prone to scratches when placed in your pockey along with rough items such as coins, house keys.
The long awaited Creative Zen encompasses everything one looks for when buying a portable MP3 player. With all the competition out these days, pushy electronics salesmen and not to forget all the hype around i-pods, its difficult to not just follow the crowd. If however, your one of these individuals then this stylish MP3 player is right up your street. With its out standing looks, and yet subtle design, accessable buttons and fast and diverse loading ...
