In my...

Cons: Can't Apply Smart Volume & EQ Both, 9 Hr Playback Per Charge, No Battery Door

I've been thoroughly enjoying the Zen for almost a week now. As this is my first portable MP3 unit, I won't spend time trying to compare this product to others, like Creative's other offerings or the Apple iPod. Comparison isn't a good way to evaluate...

Pros: I had to put 20 words here or it wouldn't let post the review.
Cons: I had to put 20 words here or it wouldn't let post the review.

I have owned the Zen 20Gb for about 2 months now. Overall I would have to say that I very please with it. It is a very well made, solid feeling unit. The sound it incredible. You can tell a company that specializes in makes sound devices made this. ...

Pros: Easy to Use, update, manage. Used for data transfer. Great EAX abilities. Compact and light.
Cons: drivers needed for data transfer. Needs it's firmware updated. Slight learning curve.

The Nomad Zen 2.0 is the device that should make the IPod crowd work a little harder for it's dominance in the MP3 player market. This svelte box from Creative has the style, the capacity and the ability to make a major name for itself, if it could only...

Pros: Great Sound, Portable, Userfriendly!

After carefully comparing most of the better-known hard drive-based MP3 players, I had made my decision...

Cons: Headphones, Small Buttons

At a minimum of $250 a pop, a 20 GB MP3 player is a big desicion for most of us to make. I spent countelss hours researching and comparing MP3 players before I went out to buy. I narrowed it down to two, the Creative Zen and the iPod. I used and...

Pros: Sound quality PC3 rip is well designed 20Gb storage PC3 software has good performance
Cons: Nomad Zen inefficient click and scrollthru interface needs to be more Mac-like.

Have had the Zen for a week and here are my thoughts:


1) People have written that the Zen will change your life. It will. But not necessarily for the better. However, the plusses far outweigh the minusses. I find myself walking more with...
