Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB

I bought one of these and was really happy with the sound quality and the storage space. The headphones let the player down a little, but they are of course replaceable. It's not the most stylish player, but the sound quality and storage space made up for that for me. After a few uses my player froze and could not be rebooted. I contacted creative and returned it (cost me recorded delivery to ireland). They sent a replacement which I took on holiday with me and I used it a few times and the same thing happened. I wondered if it was something to do with how I'd loaded the songs on or something, but creative offer no support in that sense. You try what they suggest ...  Read the complete review

Well, me and my Creative Zen Photo have had what I like to call a "love-hate" relationship. I've owned it now for around 5 years after buying it, I think, in 2005/06 for the princely sum of about £100 on special offer from Argos. At the time, this was significantly undercutting the iPod. Looks-wise, its quite nice to the touch as its made of nice plastic and brushed aluminium. By todays standards however its quite heavy and is a bit of a brick. The 20GB storage space had proved to be more than enough to meet my needs. I enjoy my music, but I would not say I am a music "buff". I probably download about 5 albums per month. I still ...  Read the complete review

This was my second mp3 player and it served me well for over 5 years. A fantatic mp3 player at the time, not so up-to-date now but still well worth a purchase if you aren't too worried about all the new features that new mp3 players come with. A 20Gb hard drive serves most people pretty well and I only really began to fill mine before I upgraded. I did have some trouble with it though, when the memory is nearly full your player will begin to freeze up, it seems that Creative failed to make the performance a bit better as they never expected it to be filled. On a positive note, the Sleek Photo comes with a built-in FM radio which is pretty good ...  Read the complete review

I've had my sleek photo now for a few years and overall it has served me fairly well. It is a fairly big player compared to its more modern counterparts and is not particullay light either. Having said that the 20GB of storage is massive and I still haven't been able to fill it. My whole music collection fits on this thing. Usefull too is that it also doubles up a 1GB flash memory stick which requires no installation. The player came with a set of headphones and the creative software which contained a music player. The headphones, as with a lot of mp3 player standard headphones, where really rather poor, no bass what so ever, no a dig at creative but more at all ...  Read the complete review
