Who wants an Ipod i certainly dont, 11 May 2006
This review is from: Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8GB MP3 Player - White (Electronics)
I got this player about a week ago after i had spent months researching mp3 players read all the good and bad things about Ipods, creative, Iriver etc etc i was not even sure if i should get an 4, 6, 8, 10,20 or 30gb player? the only thing i was certain of was 'i didnt want to be one of the apple ipod crowd' and im glad im not, in the end i opted for this little beauty, as for some criticisms that i have read on web sites about this player its beyond me some people just complain about the smallest of details, ok the touch pad is a little tricky to begin with but you soon get used to that, my only gripes would be is you cannot see whats on the display outside in daylight unless you cup your hand over the screen or go somewhere a little darker and the lock switch is too close to the headphone jack but im not gonna lose sleep over this, the sound quality is supurb and if you want to get around the EU volume cap then just download the US version of the latest firmware reload, reboot and hey presto you will definatley notice the difference in volume, trust me you wont want it on the maximum.
This player looks and feels great especially with the neon blue glow and every ipod owner i know who have seen this have been surprised at how good this player is, its a shame most people are brainwashed into thinking ipod is the only mp3 player worth getting.
well done creative this is a winner for me even if others dont it is.

Creative zen microphoto, 7 Feb 2006
This review is from: Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8GB MP3 Player - White (Electronics)
What an amazing little player. I have read some problems with this player and its software but it worked perfectly from the box despite DHL lobbing it over my garden wall! If you are thinking of getting this player treat yourself to the remote and the charger. The battery doesn't last long so be warned. It took me no longer than 1 hour to install the software and load 636 tracks. This product is quality

Great new player from Creative, 5 Nov 2005
This review is from: Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8GB MP3 Player - White (Electronics)
What a lovely player! Syncs perfectly with Windows Media Player or the supplied Creative software. Photos look nice on it although you can't view them and listen to music at the same time. Maybe a firmware release in the future will change this? 8Gb is a lot of space for such a small player. You can partition various sizes of the drive to use for data (not music) storage. The touchpad seems a lot easier to use than on the previous Zen Micro and it has a kind of matt feel to it instead of glossy. All in all, a great machine and a fine alternative to the all conquering iPod.
