- Don't buy it!
Yes, it's an amazing mp3 player with great functions, but the battery life is too short (just a few months), I bought 2 ZEN, the first ZEN died in 5 months, and the second in 7.

- Poor UI, slow boot-up
I bought this mp3 player a moth ago as a replacement for an ipod that was stolen.I'm not fan of Apple, and considering their market dominance, decided to buy a non-ipod MP3 player.My previous mp3 player was an 80GB video ipod, so I set out to buy the largest mp3 player I could find with a reasonable price.This Zen was what I settled on after some cursory research.I am disappointed, to say the least.
The first thing that I noticed was that it came pre-loaded with a bunch of crap ... Read More
Rating: - Nice player, but the LCD turned blank after less than year
This was my first portable media player. I really enjoyed it until the LCD turned blank after only less than a year of use. Right now, I am using Apple Ipod Nano and it's way better than this.
Rating: - So far so good.
I purchased the Zen after looking at many different mp3 players. I previously owned the Creative Zen touch and one day it stopped working, needless to say I was very unhappy. Anyways, so far so good with this one. I've had to reset it 2 times, not sure why, but I love the color screen, the music sounds great, over all a good product. The program for putting songs on there is okay. I don't like that its only drag and drop for each different folder I create and some files attach random pictures to songs ... Read More
Rating: - Best MP3 player I've used
Fast forward is fast. One switch to freeze buttons so I don't accidentally change something. Easy to choose between onboard memory and the external card. Battery lasts a decent time in between recharges. The units software is pretty decent. Sounds good.
The software it installs on the pc sucks. It could be worse. I've seen worse. But it could be a lot better. I've not yet seen any mp3 software that I like. However, using it with the paid service from Napster works great.
