MP3 Players > Creative MP3 Players > 8 GB to 16 GB

Advantages: Reliable, Headphones, software
Disadvantages: Size, weight, non-colour screen, large poor battery.

Ok so I've had this product for over 2 years now and I'd thought I'd write a quick review on it. Considering it's so old, it's the only MP3 player that I still regularly use - mainly in my car. I've been through quite a few players but this one holds the most songs and to me is the most reliable. I got it as a birthday present when I was 18 and I immediately transferred all my music across to it. At the time I had a Cavlier with a tape player in ...
...from ASDA and then carried this around with me at all times in the car. This meant I could listen to any song wherever I was. The amount of music that can be held on here is phenomenal. It currently holds over 1500 songs of mine (sure I have more, but not ones I regularly listen to) and I still use it when travelling up and down the motorway. The headphones that came with it are Creatives own and are fairly good, but I use them more for gaming on ... Read review

Advantages: Storage, lots of sites from other nomad lovers, upgradability, line outs
Disadvantages: bulky, delicate

...no "shuffle all"), I'm sure creative will come through. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't backup the preloaded songs. I didn't want to delete them, but I needed the space. Fortunately I found some info on how to remove the protection and upload the music for backup to make more room for tunes I wanted more immediately on it. There are many Nomad fans on the internet, and it won't take you long to find sites such as www.nomadness.net dedicated ...
...I never thought the 6 GB drive would be limiting, but it is, especailly if you like higher bit rates for better quality in your music. Fortunately I found info to upgrade to a 30 GB. I'm a little disappointed there's no remote yet, but I'm sure it should be out soon. I really want the RC codes so I can pump them into my Pronto. Anyway, if you are interested in buying a nomad jukebox, you're smart by checking audio review first. However, I do have ... Read review

Advantages: Looks smart
Disadvantages: Battery doesn't last long

...I can plug into my Creative Zen and listen from the car. This wears the battery down quite quickly though. Overall this mp3 player is brilliant. It looks smart, sounds smart, and has lasted me a good year and a half, and it's still going. After all the reviews I'd read about Creative products, I was expecting it to last only a year if that. But it has surpassed itself, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a cheapish alternative to an i-pod. ... Read review

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! ... Read review

Advantages: Small, easy to use and stylish.
Disadvantages: Lack of included software

I bought this MP3 player in October 2007 shortly after it was released. After owning for almost a year now I have had very little problems with it, none detrimental to its operation. After I noticed a sctratch on the screen I perchased an invisible shield full body protection kit which I later removed due to the fact it reduced the picture quality slighty. I was very impressed by the overall styling of the product and how it felt operating it. One ...
...included software with this product. I previously had an old copy of iTunes (from the first gen Shuffle) but it refused to comunicate with my iPod. As I am not an experienced downloader I was tentative at first by after a while I managed to download and install the software and there were very little problems from then on. Over almost a year now the only problems I have had were things like freezing screens, album art not showing up or being in the ... Read review
