Creative Zen V Plus 8 GB

I received this creative zen as a present and my initial thought was that it looked very stylish and it was a nice size being very small. The screen is colour, and has a display which gives you all the information you'd need when you're listening it is extremely easy to use there is a joystick and a couple of buttons that control everything. I think it has very good sound quality that is very clear but I would have liked a bit more bass but I brought new headphones to sort that problem out. It also has video playback and you can view pictures really easily. You can customise the menu and finding specific songs is easy to do. The player freezes occasionally but is still ...  Read the complete review

This Creative Zen is always going to been in competition with Ipods but there are two main reasons to choose this zen over the Ipod. The first is that it has a FM radio function, i really like being able to listen to local and national radio stations as a change from the music i've downloaded on to the player. The second reason is that it is incredible easy to add and remove music and data to the palyer direct from your laptop/computer. Although there is software that comes with the player, copying music on to the player is as easy as clicking the file, dragging and dropping it in to the Creative Zen folder on your computer. The 8gb holds a ridiculously large amount of ...  Read the complete review

Why follow the crowd and buy an ipod when you can have so much more for your money, 8MB storage, colour screen, video, sound recording etc. This mp3 player is very robust and does not seem to get scratched even plonked in a bag with no case. I have had mine for over a year and it still looks like new. It is easy to use although the scroll down could be faster. The colour screen is small but very readily visible. Battery life is very good unless the screen is on too often, so watching video or regularly switching between albums will drain the battery very quickly. Overall it is a very nice little player, sits nicely in the hand and is nice and small. In fact I like it so ...  Read the complete review

I brought one of these last years and I was really disappointed once id had a play around with it. On opening I was greeted with a gorgeous little MP3 player and was really excited about it, hoping to be able to use this at the hospital during labour instead of carting a boom box around, but after hours of charging and downloading music I found that the MP3 player didn't work at all, it would crash as soon as you went into the music menu I tried to re-set and re-download the music and made sure none of the music was a virus but to no avail! thoroughly disappointed with the product especially from a brand such as creative! I tried to return this product but was faffed ...  Read the complete review
