  • Creative Labs 40GB Zen Touch: Portable playing power for your MP3 hunger.

    Sep 04 '05
    Pros: Durable, easy to use, great sound and time between battery charges.
    Cons: Mediocre earphones, oddly designed case, no lossless format support.

    Summary: I am a huge fan of burning disks on my computer to give me the ability to take my music where I want to go. When you are mowing the lawn, running, or doing one of a million other activities that are lonesome and monotonous and you want to listen to your ... read more

  • Touch me-- all night long.

    Jan 01 '08
    Pros: Excellent sound quality, no software needed.
    Cons: Has a bit of a learning curve, can't mount on Mac natively.

    Summary: I'm very much the mp3 player advocate, fan, and collector. While I love my CD-players, turntables, and tape decks, I have quite an obsession with this digital audio players (or DAP). I've used players from Apple, iRiver, Sandisk, Digmind/Xclef, ... read more

  • Couldn't Be Happier With My Choice!

    Aug 10 '06
    Pros: Battery life, sturdy construction, easy of use
    Cons: None really - haven't had any problems thus far

    Summary: When I realized I would be spending an average of 6-8 hours driving in my car over the course of a week, I decided it was time to break down and get an MP3 player so as not to have to continuously change out CDs or scan the radio for working stations in ... read more

    Jun 13 '06
    Pros: Battery life, capacity, ergonomics.

  • Be very careful

    Apr 26 '06
    Pros: Price, storage capacity
    Cons: Touch pad, problematic software, track ordering, downloading from Creative website

    Summary: The first 6 months of ownership were reasonably problem free, apart from the touch pad, which you'll either love or hate and the track ordering:- tracks are not always stored in the correct order in the Creative Media Source player (the media ... read more

  • SO, YOU WANT STORAGE?

    Summary: Purchase date: December 2005 Review date: March 2006 I had been wanting a mass storage MP3 player for some time, but had been unwilling to commit to one or really do the in depth research I always do before making a purchase of this nature. I ... read more

  • Zen Touch is an Amazing Player. One of, if not, the best on the market.

    Mar 02 '06
    Pros: Amazing sound quality. Long battery life. Can play the superior WMA format.
    Cons: Poor supplied case. Lack of aftermarket accessories. Sensitive 'Touch' strip.

    Summary: After extensive research I decided to buy a Zen Touch over several other brands including the (over-hyped, in my opinion) Ipod. I've had it for about 8 months and absolutely love it!! This player is built like a tank. It feels solid and the controls ... read more

  • Creative Zen = Musical enlightenment

    Pros: Outstanding battery life, inexpensive, value.
    Cons: Leather case with no access to controls. Only works with Windows

    Summary: In November of 2005 one of my friends bought the leading mp3 player. He bragged on and on about how he always had his favorite music with him and how it changed the way he listens to music. I decided that I needed something bigger than the 4GB model ... read more

  • Loving it - glad I didn't get the iPod

    Dec 08 '05
    Pros: Lotsa Memory, Great Sound Quality, Long Battery Life.
    Cons: Needed an aftermarket case, included one was sub-par. Random button inconvenient.

    Jul 29 '07
    Pros: Battery life. Volume of storage.
    Cons: Price. Software. It just died. Not very good customer support.

    Summary: Worked great for about a year. Then the software and boot up went weird. Hit the reset button to correct, until it finally just died. Get an ipod

  • Not Impressed - Unreliable?Poor Customer Service

    Jun 19 '07
    Pros: Thay've stopped makin them
    Cons: Apple Ipods are better.

    Summary: I'm not one that normally reviews a product, but this has got me mad. Had one for 6 months and the earpiece failed together with software problems, had it replaced (RMA). Other one lasted about 7 Months and the hard drive went on me. Customer care stinks

  • Super Sound Quality !

    Aug 21 '06
    Pros: Sound quality, Bass, loudness, battery life
    Cons: Music Sorting, CREATIVE (losers)

    Summary: Pro Sound quality is one of the best of all players... It can go almost EXTREMELY loud. (Don't think your I POD will ever come near this buddy !) The sound-spectrum is super, VERY low bass and endless high. Start-up-time is FAST, because of a

  • Poor quality, requesting now my 2nd RMA

    Pros: Price, quality of sound
    Cons: -Software is buggy -Unreliable -Poor customer service

    Summary: I owned a Zen Xtra for 1.5 years and then decided to buy a Zen Touch. It has been a headache since I got it. FIrst of all, as many mention I am sure, the touchpad is very sensitive, making it hard to easily find exactly what you want. Most

  • Very Good Product

    Dec 30 '05
    Pros: Very easy to use, huge amount of storage, cheaper than Ipod.
    Cons: It is a bit large (thick), which I don't mind, but some people may.

    Summary: Really great mp3 player. The head phones are better than the IPod's headphones. The hard drive is huge. Nice screen, and I also like the scroll wheel. It came with a nice case, which conveniently allows access to the power button, head phone jack,
