Creative Zen MicroPhoto 4 GB

Well. I had been looking for something to play my music on for a while. I pods are just not my thing- so that was them out. Apart from I pods there isn't actually much anything else- here is where the Zen comes in. Zen, I would say, are probably the I pods biggest rivals. So onto the product itself. At just £99.99 for 4GB, the price was good. This also stores photos, has a built in radio, and loads of cool features. But onto that side of things later. I suppose I'd better start off with appearance, size, etc. This is quite a good looking player. I have it in black, with the blue backlight. The backlight makes it look a lot cooler and high tech than the I ...  Read the complete review

I found the creative microphoto to be a welcome change from the more flashy, fashionable music players I'm usually tempted to buy: It's more compact, easy to use, and another huge perk is that you don't have to convert all your music files to a specific file format in order to load them onto the player.

The build quality is solid, I've dropped it a few times and never had any problems. The sound is mainly dependent on the bitrate of an MP3 file anyway, but all of the frequencies are accounted for nicely, ...  Read the complete review

The music device itself comes in mixed array of colours so there's pretty much a colour out there to suit anyone. There are a few good things about the zen micro photo. Its portable stylish and has supports a bright screen which you can view from any angle unlike the iPod which can be hard to see from certain angles. It feels sturdy in the hand and its pretty durable I've dropped mine a number of times without no covers on it only has very light surface scratches. Comes with a range of goods installed on the device and in the box such as a spare replaceable battery, good quality earphones, Fm tuner voice recorder and a photo viewer which of course is what it's built ...  Read the complete review
