There comes a time in everyman’s life that he has to finally move with the times. No longer can you hop down to your local music shop and buy a Vinyl record, a tape or even a CD… Music is now all about MP3s and the ability to get your music off the internet at a reduced price. The fact is that a whole generation of kids don’t actually pay for their music at all and download it illegally for free. Personally I was not interested in downloading new tracks, but getting a device that would allow me to transfer all my CDs easily into one space. So when my first dooyoo Amazon voucher arrived I was inspired to buy a Creative Labs Zen 2.0. Why a ...  Read the complete review

It's a sturdy little player with a really nice, simple button system. It holds up under a lot of use. I appreciate the small size. Good for slipping in pockets and purses with no fuss. The buttons are easy to press and don't require any fumbling to find. The menus run simply and are pretty customizable. Though it runs like a computer and occasionally freazes, and/or skips like one. Generally only as a result of improper disconnection from the computer though. I really like the home-screen interface. Being able to choose shortcuts to your favorite features. The DJ feature is my favorite. Possibly, I'm just cheap, but this is the first mp3 player I've had that ...  Read the complete review

Like so many back in the early days of the mp3 players, I didnt like the fact that everyone I knew seemed to be buying Apple IPOD players, it was the fact that everyone seemed to be banging on about how good they were and I just thought they were giving into the coorporate ideal. So I went out to research alternative, cheap alternatives...and I found out about creative through a friend of mine that had an older MP3 player the size of a brick, but i did the job. So I bought a creative zen, the earlier bigger and heavier versions of this one. But that zen just froze after a year or so, with over 1800 songs on it...so I thought this would just be glitch and ...  Read the complete review

This mp3 player is absolutely superb value for money. The sound quality is crystal clear, the headphones actually stay *in* your ears (this alone elevates it above 90% of mp3 players on the market), and it is able to store an impressive 2 gigabytes of songs. While there are a great many mp3 players on the market which can store more than that, few have such a voluminous capacity for such a small price. I was particularly impressed with this product because it is Napster compatible. For those who are unaware, Napster is (now) a legal mp3 downloading service. Unfortunately the Napster software is not compatible with Apple's software (no idea why), so you ...  Read the complete review

Commonly the portable mp3 player market has been dominated by apple, the most relevant product to this is the ipod nano. The creative zenv plus is a perfect alternative to the nano and features many advantages over the tradational nano. firstly is the battery life, ipods are known for poor battery life. the creative if listening to constant ablums has serfed me for a good ten hours. The menus and backrounds are easily changeable within the player making a clear and fun display, also the menu can edit such factors as brightness, senstivity and type of sound (pop, rock, classical.etc). although the memory is half of the conventional nano, 2gb on a creative fits just as ...  Read the complete review
