5.0 out of 5 stars Best MP3 Player Yet, 8 Sep 2007

D. B. Goodwin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creative Zen V 4GB MP3 Player with Colour Screen - Black/Blue (Electronics)
This MP3 player not only looks good, but sounds and peforms equally well.

At 70 quid i got more wows than i would get with any ipod. It has menus playlists album art and many useful extras which i use very often. it is so tiny that it can fit in any pocket.

The batterylife is very good, and the scratch resisitant finish works very well. The Reviews below are wrong this player is the best ive had (10 overall) my whole family uses creative now.
So buy yours now. This really is a very good player!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic little player, 30 Jun 2007
By 
D. Bower "dannybgoode" (Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Creative Zen V 4GB MP3 Player with Colour Screen - Black/Blue (Electronics)
I've owned this little gem for about 6 months now and I am very impressed. Its small but not so small you feel you might lose it under a book of stamps, light and well featured and easy to use. Once the drivers are installed you can drag and drop albums using file explorer in windows. No messing around having to convert file formats or using propriety software (which is invariably not very good).

To be fair I'm not too bothered about a coloured screen - i just need something that shows the artist, album and track name and the Zen screen fits the bill. Much more important to me is sound quality and I really can't see where the previous reviewer is coming from. Even with the supplied headphones the quality is great (and I'm used to listening to music on £5k + worth of hi-fi). Obviously its format and encoding quality dependent but the bass is well defined and the music hangs together well.

Perhaps though the biggest plus point for me is the fact that it comes as close to any player I've listened to to providing gapless playback on mixed CD's. I listen to a lot of electronica and have been put off so many players by the annoying half second click as it jumps to the next track. If you're really concetrating you can hear it on this player but most of the time the tracks blend without you noticing.

I also use it to record my own DJ sets and the line in recording is very good. The only slight snag is the line in jack on the player itself is 2.5mm and whilst it comes with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack its hard to source a 2.5mm to phono lead so an adaptors is required. No biggy but something to be aware of.

Battery life is a little short - I've not got the 9 hours stated out of it - near 4-5 but it charges when docked to the PC and its more than enough to get me through the day.

All in all, very impressed. Does everything I want and the right price.

5.0 out of 5 stars go for it!!, 11 Sep 2007
This review is from: Creative Zen V 4GB MP3 Player with Colour Screen - Black/Blue (Electronics)
i love my zen so much, when i was about to buy it i was scared by all the negative comments that were posted up here, but they must just be bad experiences because this is the most easy to use mp3 ive ever had, with much better sound quality than ipods!! go for it, seriously good investment!! xx
