Creative Technology Zen Touch (20 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Nice size, good sound quality and great battery life
Cons: Hyper-touchy controls; tiny time readout; difficult-to-master software

Christmas 2004, I was astonished and delighted to receive a gift of significant value from Epinions. It turned out to be a single JBL loudspeaker and, although it appeared to be a very nice loudspeaker, I really didn't know what to do with a single ...

Pros: Long battery life; large storage capacity; small size; good search/filter features;
Cons: Oversensitive touch panel hampers usability; no folders/subfolders; no drive letter access

Reviews around the net of the Zen Touch invariably compare it to Apple's Ipod, for good reason. "Ipod" has become one of those trademarks like "Scotch tape" and "Walkman" that define the whole product genre because of a magic mix of good design, ...

Pros: Massive battery life | Holds up to twice as many tracks as the equivalent iPod
Cons: Supplied case is naff

Some people are never satisfied ! I'd bought my husband a 512MB MP3 player for Christmas and filled it with music, but he regularly informed me that there wasn't enough variety in the music it could hold and he really needed something that could hold ...

Pros: Great sound quality, flexible features.
Cons: Awful user interface, especially the primary feature, the touchpad.

The critical feature on the Zen Touch is the "easy touchpad", a finger-width trough about 1-1/2 inches long that runs up and down the face of the unit. Selecting features from the menus requires that you "touch" the pad to move the selection, then ...

Pros: Stylish, great battery life, high capacity and excellent sound at a good price
Cons: Drive failed after 30 hours. "Touchy" touch pad and sub-par volume

After reading excellent reviews of this unit I chose it over an iPod and other MP3 "jukebox" units, especially since the price was about 20% lower than an equivalent iPod. I believe I paid approximately $240, and the iPod was selling for close to or ...

Pros: Excellent Batter Life, Bargain Price, Decent (not spectacular) Headphones, Windows Compatibility
Cons: Freezes with bad files, buggy software

I bought my zen touch about three years ago and I was absolutely thrilled with it's sleek looks and bargain price, although it is not quite as sleep looking today as it was then. Advertisements touted the features of an ipod, and a substantially lower ...

Pros: Affordable and sturdy.
Cons: Massive problems loading songs after initial transfer. It's heavy.

I'm a certifiable music snob who owns hundreds upon hundreds of CDs. But I'm frugal with my cash, so I waited a long time before buying my first MP3 player. I researched and ultimately decided on a 20 GB Zen Touch. Besides cost --- the Zen is a good 75 ...

Pros: Stellar Battery Life (24hrs); New Lock Function; New Touch Scrolling Rules!
Cons: Sub-Par Software Suite.

Not too long ago I wrote a review for a Zen Xtra 30GB MP3 player, made by the same company, Creative. That player suited my needs quite well, but after having some issues with its front plate and battery life, I decided to look into the Zen Touch. This ...

Pros: Excellent Sound! Easy To Use! Great Price! Better than IPOD!
Cons: Bad case as it's all closed, unable to access it.

I've been doing a lot of research between the IPOD, Creative, Roxio and I decided to go with the Creative Zen Touch 20GB. I must say that I'm glad I purchased this item. It's very easy to use and the software they give you to download music to your MP3 ...

Pros: Great Sound, Great Battery Life, Great Price, Great Player
Cons: Creative MediaSource Software Blows, Touch Pad A Bit Sensitive, A Little Big

I have wanted an MP3 player for a long time now. This year I finally decided on picking one up, and I chose the Creative Zen Touch. A lot of us strive for the iPod, and I did for some time as well, but I did some research and found the Zen Touch was ...

Pros: Awesome battery life, unbelievable price, 20gb!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: Touch screen a little sensitive, bad headphones, no button cutouts on the case.

The Creative Zen Touch is the first hard disk Mp3 player that I have purchased. I have been nothing but satisfied with it. I chose the Zen Touch over the iPod for 3 reasons: 1. The 24hr. battery life (double that of the iPod) 2. The price (almost ...

Pros: Music quality, storage size, battery life
Cons: No FM tuner or recorder

I've had this Zen Touch now for several months and it has been the greatest thing. I didn't want to go with the iPod because I felt like I was paying for name and it didn't play wma files. It felt too proprietary for me...I wanted to have options to ...

Pros: battery life,ease of use,nice sound quality
Cons: "wired battery",earphone jack,no debris protection on USB port

***BIG UPDATE: DON'T upgrade the firmware to the newer one.Tried it and now I am left with a non working player,many folks have had this problem Well I got the Creative Zen Touch back in December for Christmas and have been using it since and have ...

Pros: Battery life, sound quality, relatively cheap
Cons: Touchpad a little difficult, Terrible protective case

I researched the market for a couple months and finally settled on this player. Why? 1. Price: I got mine for $225 through www.zipzoomfly.com and this price is much cheaper than an Ipod or any other comparable player. 2. Battery Life: 24 hours is ...

Pros: Ease of use, capacity, sound
Cons: freezing up, screen too dark to read, died after 5 months

My husband bought me the Creative Zen 20 gb for X-mas. I hinted to him that this was the player I really wanted because my daughter had one and my father had one, and after reading reviews, it seemed like the right choice. I also needed something to be ...
