Advantages: Great sound, easy controlls, looks great!
Disadvantages: small screen to watch video's on.

...This Creative Zen V Plus is a stylish little mp3 player that is very handy and looks very nice. With the 1GB version you can fit about 1000 songs on there and you can also store some video files and watch them (providing they are the correct format). The controll system mainly consists of a play/pause button, a stop button and a stick that allows you to controll left,right,up,down and select. Also there is an on off button on the side and a volume controll on the other side. The controlls on this mp3 are very neat and are extreamly easy to use. In the menu you have options for music, video, picture, settings, now playing and a extras menu. In music you can select to browse by artist, album or just have a list of all the songs. You can have multiple play modes consisting of shuffle, play all, repeat, repeat all. There is a cool... Read review

Advantages: Small, easy to use, good pc software, superb battery life, FM radio tuner, DJ
Disadvantages: Headphones, pouch

...Right then, the Creative Zen V Plus 2GB is a very good player to me. I purchased this mp3+mp4 player just before Christmas and first impressions were great, instruction manual very useful so I got familiar with the player very quickly. There is a lot of software that can be put onto your PC but all I use is the Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer and the Zen V Series Media Explorer. But first you want to go onto the Creative product registration and register your product so your warranty becomes valid. Negatives: To start with, the headphones are a bit big and are like the Ipod headphones which have a very thin stalk on them so can break easily. Mine didn't break because I changed them straight away after realizing the sound quality wasn't very good and the headphones were too big and wouldn't stay in my ears, they kept falling...

Advantages: Stylish, excellent sound quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Can only be charged via PC

...Excellent MP3 Player. Versatile, stylish, easy to use. Bought mine for £63 from Amazon (delivered 48hrs later). Very easy to sync with PC, several software options for managing music, pictures, video and data files. Have mainly used mine for music as with only 2GB memory there is not room for many pictures and videos and the screen is a little small to do them justice anyway. The sound quality is excellent, although I invested in a pair of Phillips headphones which are superior to the ones included with the Zen. The only mild disappointment is that the player can only be charged through the USB PC connection, which takes a little while to charge it fully and needs to be done fairly often if you use the player quite a bit. But all in all I would certainly recommend the Zen V Plus as an excellent MP3 player.... Read review

Advantages: it is cute and affordable
Disadvantages: perhaps a bit dinky for men's fingers

...I love this little mp3 player. I asked my boyfriend to get me an mp3 for xmas but told him that i didnt want an ipod as everyone seems to have them and i dont like the whole itunes thing. And he pulled this little baby out of the hat! I was so chuffed with it. Though infact originally he had bought me the 2gb Zen V (not the plus version) but the screen was a bit dodgy so we took it back to argos and then when looking on amazon the new plus version (it has radio and alarm and the ability to play videos which the normal one doesnt) with 4gb was £2 cheaper than the one her had got so i got that one. I was a little disappointed in a minor way as the 2gb ones are black and green (i am really into my green at the mo) and the 4gb are black and blue. (there are groovy skins you can buy for it though) At the moment i have 500 songs... Read review

Advantages: Sound quality, size,look
Disadvantages: Small joystick, no mains charger

...I had been looking for a long while for an mp3 player before I decided on this one after a lot of people had said very favourable things about Creatives products. Size: When I got the Zen V plus It was smaller than I had imagined it to be, It's palm sized but for me that was an advantage. it is also very light so very easy to use on the go. Ease of use The software that came with it was very easy to load and use on my
