Creative Zen V 2 GB

This little mp3 player is one of the best of its type on the market. I own the black and green model, and have had it for a year and a half now with no problems to report! Setting up the computer software is easy for even the biggest computer dummies such as myself, as there is a handy step by step quide to help you through. Below I have written about the different aspects of the product: APPEARANCE The player is nice and small; the smooth black ...
...color choices for the detail. The backgrounds and themes on screen can be personalized also, which is a nice little touch. The buttons on the front are built in to the casing and easy to operate. The whole player is very ergonomic in design and feels good to hold, as well as simple and easy to operate. The hold button on the side is very secure, and prevents the player from being switched on, or off accidentally. TECHNOLOGY 2GB storage- Ive managed ...

Review of Creative Zen V 2 GB

This MP3 player is perfect for anyone who wants a small MP3 that does about everything. It is very small and light and looks rather nice too. It can be customized, for example you can change the backgrounds on it and the colour of the menu. You can also add your own pictures to it from your computer. Although it is called an MP3 player it also plays video and when I say that I don't mean small clips, I managed to put a whole movie on there. The ...
...files to .avi before you put them on and even then it somtimes has to be converted again (Ill explain this later), the other disadvantage is that the screen is very small so if there is subtitles on a movie or program like 'heroes' then you will find it hard to read if at all. You can also view pictures on there and album art (when your song is playing). This can also be used as backgrounds. The music is neatly organized and you can search for ...

...but I already own a Creative Zan Xtra 30gb which I love but its too big & my boyfriend had a Micro 5gb before he put it in the washing machine. I wanted something stylish, small & light I could wear at the gym. I like the creative menu system so that was the deciding factor. I couldn't find that many reviews, a couple I did find mentioned having to use the reset button a lot but I bought it anyway. Accessories The supplied creative brand headphones ...
...I can wait for the Creative version to some out. You can also buy mains chargers for less than £10 ( I saw one in HMV yesterday) I havnt covered everything but if I find out something useful I will update my review. Don't think about it any longer just buy it. You won't regret it I don't. ...

Review of Creative Zen V 2 GB

After a long period of decision making on whether or not to splash out and get an ipod. I decided against it. I started looking into different products and brands other than mac and decided that, although it would be nice to have 30 or even 80 gigabytes of memory, I didn't actually need it. Whilst on my travels on my quest to find an alternative to the pod I stumbled across this nice little product. What caught my eye at first was that it was obviously ...
...I decided to look at the specs involved and I was quite impressed. It boast 2000 song capacity, with in built flash memory and it also doubles up as a voice recorder. The brand name was also familiar to me from my sound software on my comp so I new it would have a least some reliability. All this information in mind I decided to make a mental note of the catchy and rememberable name "Creative Zen V 2" and look at other similar products. In the end ...

Review of Creative Zen V 2 GB

I have had my Creative Zen V Plus 2GB for a few months now and I can safely say it has been moeny well spent! Very simple to use - the buttons make sense and the on screen view clearly instructs you on what to do next. A filing system that makes sense helping me to organise my tracks. The screen is absolutely crystal clear and it sounds as though it may be too small to watch videos but it is not it's just perfect. When you are playing MP3's the track ...
...the album art is displayed for quick identification of tracks and artist. The sound from it is perfectly clear and the different audio settings are amazing. The battery holds it's charge for what seems like forever and charges up in as little as 2.5 hours. The system has never crashed on me but incase it ever does there is a clearly marked reset on the side. It is my opinion that all in all a beautiful unit which lives up to its reputationa and more. ...

I have been using this MP3 player for about a year now, and its been flaw-less, sound is extremely clear, the menu system is pretty straight forward, the real eye catcher here is the very appealing design and the ergonomics that come together. Features that dignify this product is the quiet & sensitive sound recorder, not forgetting the ability to slide show pictures and set the background to inspiring mood-like concepts. To date, I have had no problems ...

Review of Creative Zen V 2 GB

I have owned the 2GB version since January 07 and have had no major problems since i bought it. It is very stylish and fits perfectly in your pocket. My one is a glossy black with green highlights around it. You can store up to 1000 songs on it and lots of photos, which you can make your background. Although its only small, my one is still in very good condition even though it's benn dropped a few times. There is one minor problem i have found with ...
...the songs when you put an album on it, it might not seem that annoying but i like to listen to music on the computer aswell and get used to the order! Apart from that though, the mp3 player is great and the sound quality is really good. With the moveable joystick thing in the middle, it's very simple to use. They are becoming cheaper and cheaper and the video version is supposed to be just as good. Great buy! ...

I must say that I was very impressed with this little MP3 player. I was anxious at first about getting one as I have i-pods as my previous MP3's but after my second i-pod broke , I knew it was time for a change and this one was perfect! Although it has a good memory and sound quality, I have to admit that mine has forze about 4 times now, and as I have only had it 5 months, I must say I am a bit dissapointed! But i would definatly recommend this product to any one who is looking for a cheap MP3 of good quality, or is frequently updating theirs like I am! ...

This zen player has plently of memory and i must say i have never ran out although i only have around 300 songs. The player is small and easy to hold although does look dirty from handprints but can easily be wiped. The stick in the centre to choose songs can be annoying to use but can also be an advantage when wanting to scroll quikly to songs. I have owned an ipod which broke and therefore decided to buy this one. I would reccommend to anyone as have had no problems what so ever with the little things. The look is smart and easy on the eye. You can change the background to whatever you want which is great. ...

...the main one being the Creative Mediasource 5, which is creative's version of Itunes. It is a very easy to use software with quite a lot of features. I was stuck at the beginning on whether to buy the Zen V plus or the Zen V. In the end i chose this one, as i feel the screen would be too small to watch movies or anything, but there was only a £10 difference and that was probably the only reason for thinking about it hard. The product is easy to ...

Review of Creative Zen V 2 GB

I recieved the creative Zen for christmas and I absolutely love it. I think that it is a good rival to the various apple iPod's on the market and certainly more compact. The Zen has more extra's than you would imagine for such as small mp3 player, including the ability to upload photo's, album art and contact information. I feel that the software provided with the Zen is much easier to use than that provided with the iPod and is pretty self explanatory, ...
...perfect for taking out and about with you and will easily fit into even the smallest of pockets. However, like the iPod, there are a number of accessories available for the Zen, such as a docking station, colour coded speakers (for the more fashion concious among us) and radio tuners.... all of which come at a price. Although the actual Zen accessories are reasonably expensive, the Zen is actually compatable with "non-Zen" brands of the same accessories, ...

LIKES: Good functional player Computer downlaod package: Downloads music files quickly, I found the package very easy to use, simply a plug and play (with windows XP). DJ Setting: Allows you to select between various settings including: Play most unheard tracks, random play all songs, play all most popular tracks. Hold Button: Great for when your player is in your pocket or bag. Screen Personalisation: Alter the player settings and bakground colours ...
...topping up the power when I\'m at work or travelling. DISLIKES: Screen: Can be difficult to view in sunlight, does get marked easily with fingerprints if you do not have a protective case. USB Lead: Very short! This onyl works from a 2.0 USB connection - which are usually around the back of your PC hardrive - therefore my lead is on the floor by the rear of my computer - this does make it a bit difficult to plug it in to download new tracks. ...

The zen V is a fantastic little gadget, It has a music player, line in recorder, microphone recorder, calender/organiser and a photo viewer and removable harddrive. The sound quality is crystal clear and even the standard headphones dont need to be changed. . The battery does last the advertised 20 hours! IT can fit a lot of songs onto its tiny flash drive about 300/400 depending on the size. It displays the album art for each album which is a nice ...

The only gripe i would have about it is the joystick, it feels plasticky and somewhat fragile, and it does come lose after a year of harcore listening, but it still works after that too! The joystick doesnt match the rest of the sturdy design. all in all an excellent little player ...
