4.0 out of 5 stars
Creative Zen MX a very good updated player,
By Prospero (Swansea, Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Zen MX 16GB MP3 and Video Player with SD Card Slot (Electronics)
I bought a Creative Zen Micro about 5 years ago and have used it happily ever since, but grew tired of its limited memory and now barely readable screen (ageing eyesight problem).I bought the Zen MX as an upgrade and am very pleased with it. It's wafer-thin and very light with a big, very readable screen I can glance at whilst driving and actually see what's playing which is a first! 16GB is great and the card slot can take another 16 although haven't used it yet. I can't be bothered with the Creative Centrale software and have only used it to check for firmware updates. Windows Media Player does everything better in my view. The MX does not support 'Playsforsure' which is the digital rights management system used by Napster and other subscription services. Neither Creative nor Napster (both of whom I e mailed) could see this being available in the near future. So if you are a Napster to go subscriber don't buy this one (or at least not yet). One other (minor) issue, although both Windows Media Player and the Creative Centrale software show album art with the MX tracks, the art only appears erratically on the player itself (I can't find any logic to this as it does show on some tracks). This is a pity since it's a good feature (especially for those of us who like to see what we're listening to). The biggest improvement I've found over the old Zen Micro is the quality of the FM radio which is now excellent. Just as a final comment - the MX cost me less this year than the much lesser Micro did 5 years ago. So, value-wise I think it's excellent. By the way, Case Logoc do a neoprene(camera) pouch which fits the player nicely and protects it. I prefer this to the creative hard cases.

Not Good For Video,
By
This review is from: Creative Zen MX 16GB MP3 and Video Player with SD Card Slot (Electronics)
I have been a big fan of Creative products since I was a kid (about 20 years) and for audio applications I wont buy anything else, be it sound cards for a PC, laptop speakers or MP3 players, etc. For sound applications and MP3 players, no-one comes close to beating Creative. Any other Creative product I ever had would get 10 stars out of 5 in any review. Therefore, about a month ago, I bought the Zen MX.For my music collection I'd only need about 8gb storage but since I travel a lot and spend a lot of time in aeroplanes I decided to spend more on the 16gb version so I could also take a few movies with me on boring trips. What a big mistake!! Nowhere does it tell you on the packaging, the marketing, etc, that you cannot actually play any standard video file formats on this player. You have to convert all your video files to a special, propriatary video format called CMV. Conversion can (at the time of writing) only be done using Creative's own software, which you have to download. You also cannot convert the files once and then leave them on your hard drive for future use or to transfer to the player later. Conversion is done as you transfer the file to the player, as part of the tranfer process and it is incredibly slow (I am talking hours sometimes). It also means that the player has to be connected to you PC the whole time. The CMV file is then only on the player. The other thing to mention is that the software cannot recognise a lot of AVI formats, even if you have the correct codecs on your pc and have a player that will play them normally. The Creative software is also quite low quality in appearence and usability and definitely not up to standard when compared with previous products they've released. Whilst engaging in the snails pace tranfer/conversion process, you will also not have any clue of the prcoess of the transfer or if it is even working. blind faith is required. Concering the audio playback, this is up to Creative's usual high standards and MP3s can be simply "dragged and dropped" onto the player without the need for the Creative software. Only downside though is that, when browsing in the player, you cannot browse for mp3 files by the folder structure used the store them on the players flash drive (this was possible with previous products). Browsing can only be done via the metadata on the files and this can make finding tracks difficult. All in all this is a nice little mp3 player . . . but that's all. It really shouldn't be considered (or in my opinion even marketed) as a video player because all the messing around involved with watching a video just isn't worth it. So stay away from the device if video playback is what you are looking for, but go ahead if you want an MP3 player.

4.0 out of 5 stars
the software is a nightmare,
By
This review is from: Creative Zen MX 16GB MP3 and Video Player with SD Card Slot (Electronics)
I don't normally bother to write reviews but as I use them a lot myself I thought it only fair to do one when I have something that might help others. This player is really neat, small and holds so much music. As a more-or-less first timer with MP3 I found it easy to set up and operate as much of it is instinctive. But I do have to warn others that the software Creative Centrale is a nightmare. It crashes so frequently I have to leave the task manager window running so that I can 'end task' and re-start all the time. I've had to un-install and re-install it several times. After complaining to friends/family I know this is not a problem I am alone with. I note now from another review that you can use windows media instead and really wish I'd known this before I got started - having spent many hours on the Centrale I feel committed to it now, being not so savvy I don't know if I can switch and keep all my hours of work making playlists etc. So, in summary,buy the player as it's lovely but load it up using other software!
