Advantages: compact, sturdy, excellent sound and self explanatory menus, easy downloads

Disadvantages: low capacity, black and white screen

This Christmas I received a 6GB Zen Micro. Having never owned a n MP3 player previously I was slightly aprehensive about using one. However, I found the Zen Micro very intuitive to use and the downloadable instruction manual was easy to follow. The Micro is sturdy enough so as not to scratch easily and fits quiet snugly into the palm or your hand or pocket. Maybe less slick than the new IPOD's, the ZEN is made to look good whilst still being durable. The biggest plus for me in is that the Creative ZEN Micro comes with an inbuilt radio. Also, as the distribution centre for the ZEN in based in Ireland I have found it very easy to buy accessories. Download speed is realatively quick, and playlists can be created quiet easily. The one drawback is that the memory althought more than sufficient for me may be to little for the true audiophile or those with a large music collection. The 6GB holds about 10,000 songs... more than enough for me to get along with.

Summary: Excellent MP3 player complete with radio.
