Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I Love my ZEN!!!!! Comment: Well what can I tell you? Excellent Value for money! Very intuitive menu and operation! Excellent interface with programmes such as Windows Media Player! With it's 8GB memory I have ample space for all of my favourite albums and photos! I was going to by an ipod nano but the Zen is an extremely good alternative! I have managed to buy the player, a lovely case and several mp3's all for less than a Nano on it's own without all of the little luxuries I wanted to go with it! The one thing people have mentioned is the cable supplied in the box is very very short. This is true but it is a very standard cable to probably already have with your camera or something similar. I would recommend this to anyone! A great buy! Customer Rating: Summary: Reliability of Creative Zen 4GB Comment: I received mine in August as a birthday gift. Up to the time of total failure, after four months careful use, it had provided responsive listening pleasure. Attached to the USB today (27.12.08) for a re-charge and to add some tracks and it died completely. No response in the unit, (dead screen) and no attachment recognition from the PC software. Being a relatively simple device in October it was 'frozen' by a file it couldn't recognise and had to be reset and reloaded (a pain), but this time during a normal event it appears to have turned its toes up completely. It is being returned to Creative but I have lost confidence in it after a minor and now a major malfunction. Obviously temperamental, vulnerable, but not cheap. Do you really need to spend this much to play a tune or two ? The screen is really too small for any sensible viewing and the radio sensitivity is questionable. It also has many openings for dust entry and even a very good case cannot protect against this. It is externaly very well constructed, user friendly and excellent when working, but I wish mine had been reliable. Solid state devices like this are generally rock solid dependable. Have I just been unlucky with a quality issue ? Customer Rating: Summary: Avoid this player Comment: Received this player and it looked fantastic, after charging and copying video to this device, I got the infamous white screen of death. Tried re-flashing the device, no difference. After much web digging the white screen of death still looks like a major problem with this device. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE ! Customer Rating: Summary: Good but could do better!!! Comment: I have had my Zen for a few days now, and have sussed how to download albums & video to the player, which is really quite simple , the software supplied works really well, Ihave never owned an Ipod , but from what I have seen of them , the Zen offers much better value, and certainly seems to have much more functions!!! My only gripe is that , I do'nt recall reading , that the SD card memory expansion cannot be used for video or music playback, its only use is to store JPG pictures, which seems a waste of an 8GB card, which I purchased with the player, and obviously it was my intention to store music/videos on the card, which I cannot do, for this reason I give it 3 stars and not 5 as I believe this limation to be a major downside!! I think that if I had known this , prior to purchase I would have opted for the 8gb Zen Customer Rating: Summary: Superb Piece of Kit Comment: Bought to replace my aging Archos (also good too). Choice based on cost and general impressions of Creative. Boy am I happy. This baby is great. It's sync with Media Center Recorded TV was primary reason why I brought it and it does this ever so nicely and at such high quality direct from Media Player 11. At this price buy before hyper inflation sets in. At least you will have some nice music to listen to :) More Reviews
