Advantages: Brilliant sound and picture quality; excellent memory capacity; ease of use is second to none. Disadvantages: In my opinion, none.
...suggest definitely installing the provided Creative Media Explorer software before use. Surprisingly I really like the Creative software which has many options to manage the player and media files, including managing playlists. I mostly use the Creative Media Explorer to manage the player's libraries and add files to the player, which works on a standard drag and drop basis. Windows users can also use Windows Media Player to make sync lists to transfer ... ...interface that comes with the Creative manager software. I suppose this comes down to personal preference but the Creative software is provided so please try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by its ease of use. Alternatively you can drag files to the Zen as though adding files to a usb memory stick, negating the need to use either the Creative software or Windows Media Player.
I have also been using the 'rip CD' function that comes with the Creative ...

...Ipod, took me to the Creative Zen.
Yes, I'll admit it, it was the name that first first had me interested.....'Zen.' It has an aura of cool about it, like this is the music player that the Shaolin Monks would listen to while breaking bricks with their bare hands....
Me, I would use this player to go to work to, but let me tell you. Getting on the crowded tubes of London every morning rush hour takes all the zen you got so you may need a little ... ...The player, what can I say....the screen quality is fantastic with the nice little touch of being able to convert almost all formats of video into a high quality masterpiece...perfect for those long journeys or maybe in bed to fall asleep to. Who knows where you may feel the need to catch up with that episode of 'Heroes' you taped the night before...the toilet perhaps, or maybe while at work when you are supposed to be doing work...ahhhh, the zen, ...

...completely redundant. The Creative Zen 32GB is nice and small, fitting into your pockets; but it '''lacks all the things that consumers have come to expect''' within the last 8 months. Another problem with the Zen is its lack of suitable software. iTunes is one of the world's most downloaded music programmes - so the Zen software is not only outdated and slow, it also makes the Zen even more unappealing.
Finally, the Zen lacks a touch screen - with ... ...and lacking brightness; making this a _useless_ product unless you literally don't want to look at your mp3 player.
So in conclusion; i strongly advise you forget you ever heard of the 32GB Zen, and instead look in to an iPhone, iPod, or Archos player. There is absolutely no reason to buy this product - it is _ridiculously overpriced_ for the futile small range of features it does offer.

Advantages: large viewing screen, photos storage, radio, recording, sd slot, good sound quality Disadvantages: reliability, durability - easily scratched, no mains charger
I have owned a Creative ZEN 32gb mp3 player for approximately a year - previous to this I had a much older creative zen which lasted well until it was finally drowned in a deluge of water. As such I was veering towards buying another zen due to my previous positive experiences. I came across this one online and read a number of reviews - half claiming it was the best mp3 ever and the other that it was the worst. Never had I seen such a difference ... ...points compared to the negative, it's the reliability and durability that drags it down to 3 stars. However I took a chance on it and even though I had to have the first one replaced - I do not regret choosing the creative zen 32gb to replace my old mp3. ...

Advantages: Sleek appearance. Not an i-pod. Good video capacity. Easy to use. Disadvantages: No case - screen scratches easily. No function to edit playlists without connection to a computer.
In my opinion the Zen creative is a great alternative to an i-pod. Personally I would rather not use i-tunes as I find it zaps the processing power of my computer so having an mp3 player that doesn't require the apple software is great. Plus it is more unique than having an i-pod. I think that the sound quality is excellent. Both the computer software and the player menus are really easy to navigate and use. The video quality and screen size on the ... ...player. Furthermore the player is aesthetically pleasing and the background theme can also be altered so it is possible to personalise the display! I also enjoy the inclusion of an fm-radio function. The only disadvantages to this otherwise distinctive and well-designed player are: 1) you have to be careful not to scratch the screen so that the video quality isn't compromised; and 2) you cannot edit playlists while out-and-about, you have to pre-set ...

Quick review of Creative Zen 32GB
Creative Labs have always been living in the shadow of the mighty apple, but this does not mean that their product is inferior. In reality, it is just the opposite. Sadly, Creative have been bullied out of the mass mp3 player market before they could unleash a jack-of-all-trades style mp3 player with a phone, internet access, power doors, toaster, etc.
However, if you are looking for a music player that plays music, then look no further. Granted there are other mp3 players out there that do the same but none with the same style and panache of a Creative product. You will not regret this purchase. ...

Quick review of Creative Zen 32GB
I don't own this kind of player, but i had the opportunity to test it and i found it's characteristics most suitable. The quality of the sound is good and the storage capacity is satisfactory. The biggest minus of this device is the price. All and all, a good product but too expensive for it's features ...
