Advantages: Easy to use, Good Battery life, Excellent sound.

Disadvantages: No mains charger, Freezes every so often

When looking for an mp3 player the typical choice would be for an iPod, widely used, widely advertised. However, having previously owned an an iPod mini 6GB and having problems with the battery on it after only a year and knowing how much it costs to fix...I decided to look elsewhere!

I liked the look of the creative zen vision:m and even the bulkiness of this product is good for me, harder to lose! Also, the abilty to play video, listen to the radio and the 60GB means I can have practically all my songs on one devise (plus all my photos-a benefit meaning its can be used as a backup storage device for me).

The quality of sound on this product is excellent, maybe even rivalling that of the iPod. The video playback is good enough for me certainly though obviously the screen is alot smaller than some of the other device on the market. I also think the battery life on this product is really good, much better than my previous experience with the iPod. It's also easy to use and I like that I can just use Windows Media Player to put my music onto the device.

Now for the bad points...No mains charger, you have to charge the player through your computer which can be a bit annoying sometimes. Also, my player freezes occasionally (only about 4 times since I've had it which is about 9 months), it generally got something small enough to reset it though and my music has always remained on the player. I think thats it...overall a very good player.

Summary: Very good player, something to consider instead of iPods.
