Wow!, 16 April 2008
This review is from: Creative ZEN 2GB MP3 Player (Electronics)
I love it! So does everyone else who has seen it!
Superb sound and picture quality, very easy to use menu system. Supplied software makes converting videos for it easy. Buy a screen protector and case, though.
I assumed that films would be unwatchable on a screen this size, but no problem at all.
It takes SD cards, which are cheap as chips, so the 2GB Zen is the best buy.
One drawback, do NOT let family or friends use it. You will never get it back! Have just ordered a second one...

I like it. :), 7 Nov 2008
This review is from: Creative ZEN 2GB MP3 Player (Electronics)
This Media player is as small as your average credit card and weighs about 65 grams. It has a 2.5" TFT screen which supports 16.7 million colours. Yes, it surely gives a beautiful, vivid colour display.
It comes in different capacity. 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB and a 32 GB. I have this 2 GB one. Reason I chose the smallest capacity was because I didn't think I'd need to store many files. Further, it has an SD card slot. So I got myself a 4 GB SD card and that gave me 6 GB of space.
Now, what are its capabilities? It plays mp3, wma,wav and aac. It also has the capability to play videos in the following formats; MPEG, WMV9, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD. Mind you, you still need to convert the videos to the size of 320 x 240. They have a converter software along with the application that comes with the Media player. But the converter as I experienced, only converts all the videos to wmv. I used a software called Any Video Converter to convert my video files. Get the free version.
It stores photos in JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF formats. It has a voice recorder which I find the quality quite good, because it kind of diminishes the background noises. It also comes with an FM radio. Which I think a good thing.
The downside of the media player is that, when you use the SD card, it is not fully intergrated to the media player. Which means, they don't play automatically like the music or movies you store in the flash memory. For me, it is still okay. I store my music on the flash memory and only my movies in the SD card.
Another con is, also related to the SD card, whenever I try to do a forward or rewind of movies from the SD card, it gets jammed up sometimes. Freezes. The solution to this is, reset it. You need a pin with you at all times. People complain about this. But what I do is, I wrap a pin in paper and just keep it in the leather case which I bought with the player.
Overall, I would say, I really love the player and worth the money I paid for it. If it were not for the drawbacks, I would have given it 5 stars.

'pfft' thats all i can say to the ipod!, 22 May 2011
This review is from: Creative ZEN 2GB MP3 Player (Electronics)
I have had my zen for about 3 years now. It is a-ma-zing!!!!! i love it so much. everyone is all "ipod, ipod" - and i'm all "NO". this is so much better. the main thing that makes it so much better than the stupid ipod, is that it has an SD card slot.... so my 4GB zen(which isnt even full) can always be expanded with endless amounts of SD cards full of music. also the display is fantastic much more... creative (pardon the pun) than the ipod. the image quality is amazing and it's little extras make it a joy to use. the screen is a fantastic size... not to big that the player has to be massive but big enought to view your favourite pictures time and time again. i highly reccomend it. i would never trade my zen for an ipod. LOVE IT.
