the Zen V Plus holds up to 2,000 songs, and the 1.5-inch OLED screen displays rich and vibrant photos, full-color menus, and album art at any viewing angle. Another great feature built right into the Zen V Plus is the tiny device's ability to support subscription services and pay-per-download music. Plus, you'll never sweat formats--the Zen V Plus plays the broadest selection of MP3 and WMA music. And browsing your music collection has never been easier with Creative's innovative interface that enables effective and intuitive navigation and track selection. The Plus has an extra feature that it's predecessor lacked: the ability to play short video clips. With the Zen V Plus you can watch short clips in transcoded video format and impress your friends with the latest tidbits from the web or a brief glimpse of a home video.

Another great feature is a Direct CD Recording function that allows you to record songs directly from a CD player or other audio source without using a PC as an intermediary. You no longer need to burn CDs to your PC then download to your MP3 player. Just connect an audio device directly to your Zen V Plus, and record your favorite CDs, records, beats and more, direct from the source. Meanwhile, automatic track detection separates each song for you--a handy feature when you're converting analog (records and cassette tapes) to digital. If organization is a high priority, the Zen V Plus's Personal Organizer will help you stay connected and in-sync with your Microsoft Outlook information. Just connect the Zen V Plus to your PC, sync your Outlook information, and you'll be ready to carry around your contacts, calendar, and to-do lists right in your pocket. Plus, the Zen V Plus uses a handy built-in microphone to double as a voice recorder, so you can capture notes, record lectures, and more.

No matter how you hold it, the Zen V Plus is just the right size.

Creative knows that sporty is sexy, and this player is ideal for any workout junkie. The skip-free playback is perfect on your morning jog or your most rigorous workout at the gym. The optional armband and case fit comfortably on your arm and keep your Zen V Plus safe and secure while running or lifting. The Zen V Plus player was designed for people who appreciate style and function. Don't be surprised when people take notice of your cool, colorful music and photo player. You can proudly announce that your device carries up to 2,000 songs, and you can show off your favorite photos and video clips that you've stored on this pocket-sized powerhouse.

Rating: - Not Worth the Plastic It's Made Of
Anyone who would pay $100 for this device is seriously not in their right frame of mind.Anyone who would actually pay the MSRP of $200 is an outright sucker.

Here goes:My player constantly crashes.The library deletes itself whenever it wants.The battery life is extremely short.It doesn't charge as it's supposed to.Sound quality is average at best.

I now realize why Apple has the brand loyalty it has.
Rating: - Okay, I suppose...
When I got this MP3, it worked great, I got it playing music the first day. But, a few years later, I think they were two, it started to get lines in the screen. My big brother told me that means its dying. I was so upset. I loved it. But it works fine, but I can't bear to think that in any moment it will die.

My dad has one and has had no problem with it. I think it won't die if you use it everyday. My dad uses it everyday and it's perfect. I hadn't used it for about two or three months, ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed
I bought my Creative Zen V Plus 4 GB a year ago. Worked fine. Did not have any problems until about two weeks ago. Just about the time the warranty ran out. It went blank on me. My son suggested I hit the reset button and my zen came back to life. A few days ago after charging my zen overnight I turned it on and found a screen that said recovery mode. I contacted the good folks at Creative only to be told that my warranty ran out and in order to get any help from them I would have to buy telephone time ... Read More
Rating: - Unstable performance, nice interface
The Zen V Plus is a nice size.The menu system isn't perfect, but it's fairly easy to navigate.The player's controls are intuitive enough that you can easily play/pause/skip without looking at it.I wasn't crazy about the shuffle function; it seemed to "shuffle" the same way every time, so you'd find yourself listening to some songs repeatedly and others not at all.It doesn't come with an a/c adapter (just the mini USB for your computer), and it won't charge with non-Creative brand adapters.

Rating: - Good MP3 player!
PRO's:

Plays mp3 fine, audio quality decent
Navigationals are pretty straightfoward
Small, cute, decent battery life

CON's
For video you can only play AVI files, wish you could convert to smaller sizedvideo files with decent quality but that's ok.


Screen bit tiny if you're wanting to playback lot of video but it's supposed to be a mp3 player at heart isn't it?


Overall not a bad gadget but I should've picked up a different ... Read More
