Creative Zen Vision M 30GB

Advantages: Sound Quality, Photo and Video Features
Disadvantages: No charger

...I bought this as a replacement for my old Creative Zen 20GB Micro which died on me. I chose Creative again as I prefer Creative Zen's to IPod's for their functionality and music options ie they will accept MP3s, WMAs, AACs etc meaning you have more variety of where you get your music from. I love the look of this MP3 player with its blue lights and high resolution LCD screen. Other people might think it is slightly chunky compared to other models but that's never been a problem for me. I think it's yummy! Most of the features are the same as my previous Zen except of course this one is a 30GB (WOOHOO!) and you can download photos and videos to view on the extremely good high resolution LCD screen which is a nice viewing size. If you put the lock on MP3 player so that the screen is not used but the music still plays...

Review of Creative ZEN VISION:M 30 GB

Creative's pride the new Creative Zen

Advantages: Excellent audio, loads of features, price
Disadvantages: A bit sloppy video

.... The buttons sort of hangs, it just won?t respond-it makes me a razing maniac sometimes, but the audio is so good it sooths me down. The menu part has gone through changes but it does not affect me, because Creative Zen is the first Creative product I?m loving and using on regular basis.. OVERALL RATING:8/10. That, I think is excellent. I would have given it 9/10 but for my most annoying factor and vid mess up. Exellent buy: If you are interested in approximate prices, here they are: 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB £49.90 £81.00 £124.70 £155.90 £218.30 Quite reasonable, isn?t it? Try it out and have fun....

Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra MP3 Player 30GB

Advantages: Better than the I-Pod
Disadvantages: A bit brick-like

...Well this is my first step outside of the music reviewing, like a fish out of water, like a sausage in a vegetarians diet here I am with a review of my MP3 player. The player is 30GB, holds about 16000 songs (depending on the song quality you have e.g. 96kbps or 320kbps). My own experience of this MP3 player is a long and troubled one. I recieved it for Christmas (thanks to Mum & Dad for that one) and subsequently stuck my entire collection of music on to there. This is where I encountered my first problem, after I had transferred the first 200 songs onto there, a box came up saying that it has encountered a problem, it subsequently closed. That annoyed me as I had to go through the rigmarole of getting all the songs again. That is the only time it has happened so it must have just been a one-off. For the next two months I...

Review of Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra 30 GB

Creative zen Vision M

Advantages: Large support for video, Reliable, Excellent music player
Disadvantages: Larger than most MP3 players, hard drive so prone to wear over time i.e. crashing

...Having bought this MP3 over 2 years ago now i thought i should write a review seen as it is 2 years old and still remains an mp3 with functions some companies have forgotten are useful. The Creative zen vision M was made as a competitor to the ipod classic back in the day boasting a 2.5" screen, touch navigation and most importantly a wide range of video support. Firstly the video support. This for me is one of the best features of this mp3 player, with divx, xvid, mp4, avi support it still has more video support than the ipod touch. This is brilliant, every time i download a video i don't need to convert, all i do is slap it on the hard drive and i'm good to go. Video playback is excellent, although it is only a 2.5" screen the colours are vibrant and although small details cannot be seen it is an excellent on the go video player...

Music the art of Zen - Go Creative

Advantages: Not an Ipod, easy to use
Disadvantages: Lacks ipod's accessories, no charger in the box

...I opened up, and what came was a "New Zen" and it was just so cool. In the Box Creative ZEN Vision:M Earphones Sync Adapter USB 2.0 cable Cloth Pouch User's Guide Installation CD (includes Creative MediaSourc, Creative Media Explorer software and ZENcast Organizer) The Experience I got to ripping CD's and DVD's, you can get software to purchase through searching Google, or from a Torrent site. I got the 30Gb Zen, and I still have not been able to fill the hard disk. I mainly have music on the system, although I have a lot of cartoon movies on for my son, its great for when he is in the car, or we are waiting around. Tristan love it and is just as converted, 5 year olds can be so objective :-) It's small and so portable that it makes it excellent for him and me. The software that...

Review of Creative ZEN VISION:M 30 GB

Creative zen

Advantages: reasonable price, looks good, dinky, good battery life, good sound quality.
Disadvantages: NONE:)

...i bought this product in may 2008 for about £80 very reasonable for a new 8gb player considering the ipod of that size and generation cost £120-150. I choose it because i had a muvo and loved the quality but out grew it and after battleing with numerous unbranded models i was sick and tired of rubbish. I am a stong hater of popular branded stuff such as the ipod as people i know have had ipods stolen and broken after a year or so (just after the garentee runs out i think) so i didn't look at the ipods and as me and my brother had both had amazing creative mp3 players with no problems (his zen touch has been running for 4 years and still going strong) i decided to look for a new creative player the mozaic in my opinion was the same thing with an ugly casing and the x-fi was a bit expensive so at the size i needed the zen was ideal...

Creative Jukebox Zen Nx, iPod Alternative

Advantages: 30gb for less than a 15gb ipod, comes with leather case
Disadvantages: large physical size, battery decreases at faster rate during data transfers, Not plug and play hard drive recognition

...For a long time in the later months of 2003 I had accumulated a vast amount of mp3s on my computer and felt that burning to cds to take to school or go out was too much of a hassle because over time I wouldn't listen to that particular CD. So the answer was to finally get an mp3 player to avoid the hassle of buying and wasting cds. For a few weeks I looked at various different players that ranged from small, light, minimal storage, to bulky with mass storage capabilities. The players i had considered at the time were the infamous iPod 10gb which is now 15gb, the creative jukebox zen nx 30gb, and the creative muvo 4gb. The problem was the iPod was 10gb for £249.99 which is a bit much to ask for since a 10gb hard drive is only £10 but looked great and i wouldn't feel ashamed having it out alot. But there was the creative jukebox zen nx...

Review of Creative Jukebox Zen NX 30 GB

Zen will creative be creative?

Advantages: High class processing rates
Disadvantages: Navigation and doldrum design again

...CREATIVE ZEN - MX Storage - 8 GB Release date - 05 - 2009 RRP ? 99.99 GBP ? Amazon website via the market-place option Zen will creative be creative? = There are not a lot of life patterns you can be sure of; but when it comes to Creatives new MP3 player launch, the same old design pops its mandatory blue-print into the box of blandness. Yes, I?m talking about the so called new ordinary MX. This years silently released epic from the Creative Lab team. The difference with this model is it?s quirky pointless OCD shift that plays with the navigation direction buttons rather than any major bold steps to bridge the gap with Apple?s flying machine the iPod. Creatives efforts are not with simplify design; but with different processors and technology that they feel capture their loyal client...
